[XeTeX] hyphenation cancelled through footnote

Wed Jan 10 00:11:09 CET 2018

Yes, this first-word problem is a nuisance.

If I recall (and this is a really old memory) I think there's an issue
affecting footnotes in normal LaTeX because they are set in restricted
horizontal mode.  That can affect catcode expansion and also hyphenation, I
think.  There are some packages out there that rewrite the LaTeX footnote
code to use the same "unboxed" ideas as in plain.tex.

Best,
Dominik
