Description: It outputs a PDF with strange contents, not as it was supposed to be. Steps to Reproduce: 1.Open LibreOffice Math 2.Write this: https://pastebin.com/Qe4eX3CR 3.Hit the button 'Export as PDF' at the top bar (next to the printer and paper airplane icon). 4.See the result PDF. Actual Results: The PDF is strange. It does not seem like it is correct. Expected Results: What I have seen in LibreOffice Math screen. Reproducible: Always User Profile Reset: No Additional Info: Version: 6.1.4.2 Build ID: 9d0f32d1f0b509096fd65e0d4bec26ddd1938fd3 CPU threads: 2; OS: Linux 3.16; UI render: GL; VCL: gtk2; Locale: en-US (en_US.utf8); Calc: group threaded
Reproducible: LO Math exports both the math code and the result. I'm not sure it's a bug or if it ever worked as you expected. Workaround: insert the formula in Writer, then export as PDF from Writer. Best regards. JBF

Repro LibreOffice 3.3.0 OOO330m19 (Build:6) tag libreoffice-3.3.0.4
When I open the file on macOS both Vanilla as well as 6.3 crashes on export. But what I wonder is what aspect is to discuss for UX?

Tools > Options > Math > Settings > Print Options controls if printing also does the formula text. Let's stick PDF to this option and make it working similar (obviously PDF export and printing are seen as of the same kind). At least we should not export the formula text, hard to believe it's needed by anyone.
Change in "Tools > Options > Math > Settings > Print Options" is not remembered. Export to PDF behaves like options are checked. There was a change, previously they were remembered but without effect. Now, some are remembered some not, also without effect. Same options can be changed in Print dialog Math tab and it works. (I reproduced wrong output in Print Preview. But the next time I didn't. So workaround is to use Print to PDF.) Further bug here is: when Original size is exported (and formula text is large and is exported), it's cut instead of exported to two pages. Let's see if there's some fix here, or more. It's easy to open new bugs if not resolved.
Dear qksws3q, 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.

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 with the latest version of LibreOffice from https://www.libreoffice.org/download/ If the bug is present, please leave a comment that includes the information from Help - About LibreOffice. If the bug is NOT present, please set the bug's Status field to RESOLVED-WORKSFORME and leave a comment that includes the information from Help - About LibreOffice. 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.

Since PDF export now can handle these parameters in API ( commit 24d4540088f7b45716e87db3fcf0817518d61fe1 ), the next task is to add respective controls to the PDF export dialog (replacing the controls that are unrelated to Math in the Structure group) - see TODO in the commit message; and that implies ensuring persistence.
