It is difficult to go back and insert text following a footnote. Typing immediately after insert a footnote (Alt F) works fine. However, if you try and click after an existing footnote which is at the end of a paragraph, the cursor is placed inside the footnote element where text isn’t allowed so when you type an error is displayed.
Workaround
There are 3 potential ways you can workaround a number of ways to get round this issue:
Click somewhere near but not on the footnote. Using the arrow keys on your keyboard, move your cursor backward or forwards until Footnote is highlighted in the breadcrumb trail. This will be either at the bottom (default) or top (user setting) of the Editor pane depending on your settings.
