# longtable, footnote, m type and arydshln

The longtable package allows to use footnote inside a longtable, as in this MWE

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{array,longtable}
\begin{document}
\begin{longtable}{m{1cm}|m{2cm}}
\footnote{Footnote}&\\
\hline
\footnote{Footnote}&\\
\end{longtable}
\end{document}


However, if I use also the arydshln feature, it does not work

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{array,longtable,arydshln}
\begin{document}
\begin{longtable}{m{1cm}:m{2cm}}
\footnote{Footnote}&\\
\hdashline
\footnote{Footnote}&\\
\end{longtable}
\end{document}


In this case I need to insert at least a p column, but I don't want, because a |p colum takes place

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{array,longtable,arydshln}
\begin{document}
\begin{longtable}{m{1cm}:m{2cm}|p{0cm}|}
\footnote{Footnote}&&\\
\hdashline
\footnote{Footnote}&&\\
\end{longtable}
\end{document}


Any idea to solve this problem ?
