With the command \hyperref[link]{text} from the hyperref package, if the text breaks across pages and the first page has a footnote, then that footnote is erroneously also made a hyperlink.
Looks like a bug to me. Any elegant suggestions for fixes?
MWE:
\documentclass[11pt,a4paper]{article}
\usepackage{hyperref,lipsum,amsmath}
\begin{document}
First an equation:
\begin{equation}
x=y
\label{eq}
\end{equation}
Now, a sentence.\footnote{A footnote.}
\lipsum[1-4]
\hyperref[eq]{Finally, a sentence hyperlinked to the equation above; because this hyperref-ed sentence breaks across the page, the unrelated footnote also becomes hyperlinked.}
\end{document}
