double spaces between footnotes opened in Writer

If I save a document (.docx) in Word 2013 and reopen it in Writer there seem to be some sort of double spaces (but there are no extra linebreaks) between the single footnotes. (example Test_footnote.docx)

If I add a footnote in Writer and save the document to reopen it in Word 2013 you will find these double spaces there, too. (Test_footnote_writer.docx)

Tested with
LibreOffice Version: 4.2.2.1
Build-ID: 3be8cda0bddd8e430d8cda1ebfd581265cca5a0f

and

LibreOffice Version: 4.3.0.0.alpha0+

Also affecting me:

WRITER = LibO Version: Writer 4.2.3.3
Build ID: 420m0(Build:3)
OS = Ubuntu 14.04

WORD = MS Office Pro Plus 2010
Version 14.0.7116.5000 (32-bit)
OS = Win 7 Enterprise / SP1

Exactly as descripbe in #1 - and no way I can see (having spent considerable time on this) to remove the extra space manually. It would be good to know a work-around as an interim measure while awaiting a fix. Thanks.

Hi all,

Spacing in Sidebar seems wrongly set to 0.28 cm. 
Does this affect your documents if you set it differently?

Hello,

Actually, opening Test_footnote_writer.docx in LO 4.3.0.0.alpha1+, , I see:  Format > Paragraph >
Spacing > Below paragraph , 0,28 cm 
Line soacing > Proportional , 107%
and
One Footnote is made of 3 of these paragraphs. 

Could you be so kind to tell us which spacing is wanted in your settings, which unwanted?

Thank you,

Jacques
