I know it's unspecific, sorry. I work as an IT teacher and my pupils have to insert Object- also write a formula. And I they have chosen in Writer: Insert Object -> Formula -> and then they had to insert an example and they had to modify it. a^2 + b^2 = c^2 And nearly ALL pupils had the problem with adistorted formulas: not enough space und the "c" was overprinting over the "=". A catastrophy in a class. Or the formula had a height of 10 cm. They use Win10 Lateron I wanted to reproduce and I went to exactly this computer under a differen account. New Document-> Insert Object -> Formula -> Example a^2 + b^2 = c^2 - And everything looked perfect! Waah! And the boy, who had horrible problems, reopened the document- it looked perfect, too. What's going on there? The thing: When I personally wrote formulas with LO Writer in mAth I had a similar effect ( I also work as math and physics teacher). It seemed to happen when much is introduced into the document before. I havo no real idea... I use Win7 - not Win10. I thought also it was caused by importing from MS word (see bug 42723). But my class wrote a writer document. There was no import from word. And therefore I have NO example to place here. Because when document is re-opened it looks fine. Kind regards Hermann
Herrmann, do you think it is the same bug, that is described in bug 122099?
Yes- the basic error looks exactly similar. I was not able to reproduce because it's vanished when re-opened. Therefore I cannot send an example. Furthermore I had also a vertical overlap (square roots overlap brackets) and partially the formula has a height of far more than 5 cm. It was hapopening at the boys computer and I had the same problem before. Maybe the bug reports can be merged. Kind regards Hermann
Furthermore when I Open the example document and open the formula and close it- the distortion is away. In my documents this is NO WAY to make the error vanish. One can click a dozend times on the error. And it is always there. hermann
