You can try \section{blah blah \nomarking{\footnote{...}} or \section{blah blah \nolist{\footnote{...}}} Aditya

I deleted all temp files after every try, that should be enough. Greetlings from Lake Constance! Hraban --- http://www.fiee.net/texnique/ http://wiki.contextgarden.net https://www.cacert.org (I'm an assurer)

HI,
I had similar trouble in my rather big document.
It seemed to appear randomly. Sometimes it disappeared when I changed fonts or added some blank lines before problematic part.
Finally I found that all my problems disappear when I avoid using these tables http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Table
replacing them by http://wiki.contextgarden.net/TABLE
So ... if you use tables ....
Regards
Zdenek

No, I use TABLEs and tabulates, but not around this footnote. Greetlings from Lake Constance! Hraban --- http://www.fiee.net/texnique/ http://wiki.contextgarden.net https://www.cacert.org (I'm an assurer)
