I am using the etoolbox package to set the footnote spacing to single spaced inside my double spaced document. However, if I have a lot of footnotes on a page, they overwrite the page number. How can I get my footnotes to respect the normal bottom margin as on pages without footnotes?
\documentclass[preprint,nofootinbib]{revtex4-2}
\usepackage{setspace}
\footnotesep=10pt
\usepackage{etoolbox}
\makeatletter
\patchcmd{\@footnotetext}
{\setspace@singlespace}{0.8}
{}{}
\makeatother
\usepackage{lipsum}
