Description: The default size set in the Formula Editor is used when creating new formulae in an imported .docx Word file. In my case, if I have recently set my default font size to 28 pt, for the purpose of creating presentations with Impress, then my imported Word file will have many oversized formulas in it, and it's quite annoying to have to manually update them all. The workaround is to dump the imported file, set the default Formula size, and then import again. However surely it should be possible to obtain the correct formula size from the .docx file? What if the imported file has formulae of differing sizes? What needs to be fixed: the way the Writer sets the font size in Formulas in an imported .docx file. Steps to Reproduce: Tested on a clean install of Ubuntu 17.04 64-bit. Actual Results: As above Expected Results: As above Reproducible: Always User Profile Reset: No Additional Info: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Ubuntu; Linux x86_64; rv:55.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/55.0
Please attach a test DOCX document with formula which demonstrates described behavior. Otherwise you expect those who would want to reproduce and fix it to have MS Word to create a reproducer themselves (most are on Linux). Also note that Word formulas can have different representation when created with different versions of Word, which could make reproduction even harder.

This bug is still present. Formulae are still created at the default text size, rather than inheriting a meaningful text size from the imported Word file.

This bug is still present. Version: 7.6.7.2 (X86_64) / LibreOffice Community Build ID: 60(Build:2) CPU threads: 8; OS: Linux 5.15; UI render: default; VCL: gtk3 Locale: en-AU (en_AU.UTF-8); UI: en-US Ubuntu package version: 4:7.6.7-0ubuntu0.20.04.1~lo1 Calc: threaded
I suspect that the issue here is that the 'modern equation editor' in Word somehow inherits equation detail font size from the text in which it is embedded. However the LibreOffice formula editor is still using some kind of OLE 'object' approach and perhaps doesn't get to know what the size of the surrounding text is. I suspect that the developers decided to just make all imported formulae from Word (or maybe also in Powerpoint) default to the Default formula text sizes, which at least are use-controllable. And the other thing is that the default font size for formulas is set universally in the Formula editor. It is not possible to have different default sizes in Impress, Calc and Writer -- the same is always used for all three.
