Description Milos Sramek 2014-01-29 21:34:04 UTC
Hi,

This bug can be seen in the example chemical formula in Chapter 9 (page 5) of the LO Getting started guide: 
https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/images/9/97/GS4008-GettingStartedWithBase.odt

There is a unicode character in the formula:
nitalic{NH_3 + H_2 O %Ux21CC  NH_4^{+{}} + OH^{`-{}} }
which is not rendered correctly

After clicking the formula, it becomes corrupt. Even undo does not return it back.

Works fine in LO40 and LO41

The correct link is https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/images/f/f7/GS4009-GettingStartedWithMath.odt

Reproducible for me with LO 4.2.1.0.0+ on Ubuntu 13.10 x86-64
Works as expected with LO 4.1.4


Best regards. JBF

To make sure we're focusing on the bugs that affect our users today, LibreOffice QA is asking bug reporters and confirmers to retest open, confirmed bugs which have not been touched for over a year.

There have been thousands of bug fixes and commits since anyone checked on this bug report. During that time, it's possible that the bug has been fixed, or the details of the problem have changed. We'd really appreciate your help in getting confirmation that the bug is still present.

If you have time, please do the following:

   Test to see if the bug is still present on a currently supported version of LibreOffice (4.4.2 or later)
   https://www.libreoffice.org/download/

   If the bug is present, please leave a comment that includes the version of LibreOffice and your operating system, and any changes you see in the bug behavior
 
 If the bug is NOT present, please set the bug's Status field to RESOLVED-WORKSFORME and leave a short comment that includes your version of LibreOffice and Operating System

Please DO NOT

   Update the version field
   Reply via email (please reply directly on the bug tracker)
   Set the bug's Status field to RESOLVED - FIXED (this status has a particular meaning that is not appropriate in this case)


If you want to do more to help you can test to see if your issue is a REGRESSION. To do so: 1. Download and install oldest version of LibreOffice (usually 3.3 unless your bug pertains to a feature added after 3.3)

http://downloadarchive.documentfoundation.org/libreoffice/old/

2. Test your bug 3. Leave a comment with your results. 4a. If the bug was present with 3.3 - set version to "inherited from OOo"; 4b. If the bug was not present in 3.3 - add "regression" to keyword


Feel free to come ask questions or to say hello in our QA chat: http://webchat.freenode.net/?channels=libreoffice-qa
