Description hardy 2019-09-09 18:49:06 UTC
Description:
When I create a formula (e.g. in Impress) that uses the underbrace keyword, then the "=" in not displayed correctly in the subscript text string.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. create a formula object (I did it in Impress)
2. use the underbrace keyword in the formula to put an equal sign into the subscript (I used the following formula: {mylongtext} underbrace {=k} )
3. close the formula editor, the have the formula rendered

Actual Results:
The "=" sign in the formula is display as upside-down question mark in dark red color.

Expected Results:
The "=" sign should be displayed as a normal "=" sign.


Reproducible: Always


User Profile Reset: No



Additional Info:
* I observed this in LibreOffice 6.2.5.2. on two different PCs, one with Linux, the other one with Windows 10.
* I am normally able to display "=" signs in formulas, there shouldn't be any problem with the used font.
* I will attach a demo presentation file, that displays the described behavior.
* (maybe additional bug) On one of my PCs the attached demo slide displays an underbrace symbol that is shorter (=bug) than the underbraced text. (On the PC where I created the presentation file, the brace itself looks alright.)

The = sign is a node element Is Equal--meaning it needs to have a second entry precede it. Otherwise it is a literal, and you enter that in a quotes.

I.e. {mylongtext} underbrace { "= k" }
