Description granjon laurent 2024-06-11 10:33:45 UTC

Description:
when you edit an equation and if you click on the equation (not on the code) to modify a part of it, instead of placed the cursor on the right place in the code (which was previously the case), nothing appears. If you type a character (or a space), the code of the equation is modified and the equation should became incorrect after that

Steps to Reproduce:
1.open and create an equation close it, edit it
2.click on an object on the equation
3.type space
the code is modified (I will attach a file befor creating the bug i don't find where to do it now)

Actual Results:
the code of the equation is modified and the disposition of objects on the equation became incorrect or are wrong (red inversed ?) 

Expected Results:
on version 6.4.7.2 on lubuntu 20.04 when i click on a object in the equation the cursor is placed on the correct place on the code of the equation, if i press space, only a space is added on the code of the equation, the whole equation isn't destructed


Reproducible: Always


User Profile Reset: Yes

Additional Info:
the bug is old on libreoffice under windows i know it for a whole

it was improved and work correctly on libreoffice 6.4.7.2 on lubuntu 20.04

for another bug of equations you have conseil to me to migrate to new version i have installed lubuntu 24.04 with libreoffice 24.2.3.2 and the bug has appears again !

i have re-tested on another computer on lubuntu 20.04 with libreoffice 6.4.7.2 no bug on this version (i'm writing from this computer)

Dupe as noted. But you can take yourself out of now default "visual mode" and restore the previous edit window formula entry by toggling the expert configuration stanza 'InlineEditEnable'

searching "InlineEditEnable" in parameters => not found

Comment 5 granjon laurent 2024-06-11 12:19:13 UTC

Thank's for your return.

If I understand I have to find a key (like registry editor) named "InlineEditEnable" in this field (see screenshot before). Unfortunately not found

I will "work with it" (and with other tools like the TexMath extension) in order to be able to work.

Clip from lo 24.2.3 on Win10 x64

The "InlineEditEnable" stanza is there in Expert Configuration on a Windows build of 24.2.3, part of the sm StarMath module with commit 2d47c8 [1]. Was that clip from the 24.2 release? Or is StarMath excluded in your os/DE?

sorry the clip was from Version: 7.3.2.2  OS: Windows 10.0 

I'm working on the two system, My organisation is under windows and some softwares we use are only on windows, and i can't do any install on this system 

I have made a linux partition by resizing the hdd in order to use some linux softwares, version 24.2.3.2 is only on the lubuntu system. I will test it (i must work on lubuntu if i can, if windows version does not work correctly for maths equations i don't care) 

thank's for your return

sincerely
