Description 2016-09-09 04:53:48 UTC
If entering a function over the sidebar you usually get "func{<?>}" (without whitespace). For example:

abs{<?>}, sqrt{<?>}, etc.

Only when entering "Factorial" over the sidebar, you get "fact {<?>}" (with whitespace). I think this should be changed in "fact{<?>}" for consistency reasons.

Confirmed the function strings are composed inconsistently into the formula editor when entering function from the "Elements" sidebar.
Comment 2 V Stuart Foote 2016-09-09 13:38:17 UTC
This issue came in with OOo and is not only from the Elements sidebar dock introduced at 4.1, but also is present in the original floating elements dialog.
