Confirming on current master/6.4.0alpha0 and 6.2.4.2 builds on Windows 10

There are several issues.

First is font mishandling--because the OOXML is using Cambria Math and assigning Unicode SMP codepoints from the Mathematical Alphanumeric Symbols block. Specifically U+1d465 Mathamatical Italic Small X. Since the LibreOffice formula editor defaults to Liberation Serif for variables it has no coverage of the block, nor is there any font fallback, and the variable from the OLE formula shows a blank when rendered.

But an easy workaround, setting LO formula editor to use the same font as MS Office Equation editor -- Cambria Math, the variable(s) will show on the document canvas.

The other issues on slide one and two of attachment 151885 [details], where a text box using bullets is holding the OLE formulas. 

1) The import filter incorrectly positions and sizes the OLE to the full size of the imported Text box--stretching the formula. Should either keep defaults for LO Formula editor, or better read the font size from the object in XML

2) On filter import LibreOffice displays both the Text box bullets, but also the fallback image (media/image5.png on slide one, and media/image6.png on slide two). And slide two shows "double struck" for the text bullet as the import is positioned incorrectly, that is bug 117658 -- the import filter should do one or the other. Either import the just the image, or import just the bullets of the Text box.

3) On slide two, the Formula OLE for the bullet is not rendered, so only see the fallback image. But by deleting the initial text bullet it allows the Formula OLE to render. So the import filter is not handling the OLE in the text box when other text bullets are present.

So handling the formula import from OOXML was done by Michael S. in
https://cgit.freedesktop.org/libreoffice/core/commit/?id=332a796366b7cb91dff41de4b9ffb17843112a3e

And the text boxes with multiple bullets are not parsed, explaining 3).

Let bug 129061 be for inline math (slide 2) and this bug for other issues with formula (slide 1).

Dear Devon Powell,

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.

There have been thousands of bug fixes and commits since anyone checked on this bug report. During that time, it's possible that the bug has been fixed, or the details of the problem have changed. 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. To do so:
1. Download and install oldest version of LibreOffice (usually 3.3 unless your bug pertains to a feature added after 3.3) from https://downloadarchive.documentfoundation.org/libreoffice/old/

2. Test your bug
3. Leave a comment with your results.
4a. If the bug was present with 3.3 - set version to 'inherited from OOo';
4b. If the bug was not present in 3.3 - add 'regression' to keyword
