But actually inserting shapes isn't obscure stuff, it's the basics of working with calligra. As for this bug report -- Bug 275597 - segfault when inserting endnote/footnote - calligra-words ver 2.4 alpha1 -- I know that someone is working on footnotes/endnotes in a separate branch: origin/words-references-notes-erione.

It's of course pretty bad that crashes like these persist for so long, and I am really sorry your bug report got no attention, but footnotes and endnotes are rather special in that they have been heavily hit by the rewriting of the text layout engine, which is still being worked on every day.
