Description Jeff 2018-11-06 21:37:58 UTC 
Description:
I am sending a file back and forth between professors using .docx format.  The equations appear MOSTLY fine in libreoffice, but have some bugs.  Particularly, variables that have an added * OR when adding brackets/parentheses {}().  

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Type an equation in formula editor using * or (){} bracket icons
2. View output as having upsidedown red questionmarks
3. Example: x = m => {y} ^ {E} = {left (f t -( {n} rsub {1} + {n} rsub {2} right ) {g} rsub {z} + ε {y} ^ {*}} over {π}

Actual Results:
upside down question marks appear

Expected Results:
read the output correctly to return a non-bugged equation.  


Reproducible: Always


User Profile Reset: No

you have some error in your example:

1. You use docx
2. Need escape special characters uses quotes, for example "=>"
3. Your formula will be 

x = m "=>" y ^ E = left( f t - {n} rsub {1} + {n} rsub {2} right)  {g} rsub {z} + ε {y} ^ "*" over {π}
