footmiscfootnotespositioning
This is the document:
\documentclass[12pt]{article}
\usepackage[top=3in, bottom=3in, left=3in, right=3in]{geometry}
\usepackage{lipsum}
\interlinepenalty=10000
\begin{document}
This is first short par\footnote{foot note}
\lipsum[1]
\end{document}
As you can see the foot note is "glued" to the text and is not a "foot" note any more.. How can I make drop it down to the bottom of the page, where it will look like a real foot note?
Footnotes within minipage environments are printed with small letters. The definition in latex.ltx is
\def\thempfootnote{{\itshape\@alph\c@mpfootnote}}
You could redefine it. A quick way would be:
\let\thempfootnote\thefootnote
Afterwards the footnote symbols within a minipage will be an arabic number as well.
I don't really get the question so I hope this is what you wanted. If you include a full document (such that we copy paste and see the problem on our systems) things are much more easier.
Here, you can change the default setting within a scope but your block style had a node distance which was resetting every time it is issued. I've made it 2mm such that we can see the difference easier.
\documentclass[tikz]{standalone}
\usetikzlibrary{arrows,shapes.geometric,positioning}
\begin{document}
\begin{tikzpicture}[decision/.style={diamond, draw, text width=4.5em, text badly centered, node distance=3.5cm, inner sep=0pt},
block/.style ={rectangle, draw, text width=6em, text centered, rounded corners, minimum height=4em, minimum height=2em},
cloud/.style ={draw, ellipse, minimum height=2em},
line/.style ={draw,-latex'},
node distance = 1cm,
auto]
\node [block] (1st) {1st};
\node [block, right= of 1st] (2nd1) {2nd1};
\begin{scope}[node distance=2mm and 10mm]%Here we change it for everything inside this scope
\node [block, above= of 2nd1] (2nd2) {2nd2};
\node [block, below= of 2nd1] (2nd3) {2nd3};
\node [block, right= of 2nd1] (3rd1) {3rd1};
\node [block, above= of 3rd1] (3rd2) {3rd2};
\node [block, above= of 3rd2] (3rd3) {3rd3};
\end{scope}
\node [block, below= of 3rd1] (3rd4) {3rd4};
\node [block, below= of 3rd4] (3rd5) {3rd5};
\path [line] (1st) -- (2nd1);
\path [line] (2nd1) -- (2nd2);
\path [line] (2nd1) -- (2nd3);
\path [line] (2nd2) -- (3rd3);
\path [line] (2nd1) -- (3rd1);
\path [line] (1st) -- (2nd1);
\end{tikzpicture}
\end{document}

I think you might also be interested in the package
footmisc.When you use
\usepackage[bottom]{footmisc}, it always puts the footnote as much to the bottom as possible.That means that if your page breaks for whatever reasons (preventing widows or orphans), e.g., 3 lines before it would be full, the footnote is typeset to the bottom as if the page was really full.The result is you have all the footnotes on all pages at the bottom.
