Hi, footnotes in two column layouts are typeset at the bottom of the respected column but with the width of two columns. Expected: 1) Either footnotes spanning the whole page from left to right at the bottom of the page. 2) Or have the footnote be restricted to one column only. How can I achieve the former? I would be thankful for help.
