Description Corrado Mencar 2019-09-27 11:12:34 UTC
Description:
I create an equation in LibreOffice writer, which includes a boldface symbol (e.g. "bold n"), then I save the file in docx format. When I reopen the file (either in MS Word or in Libreoffice Writer), the bold format disappears. The original equation (e.g. "bold n") does not contain the "bold" command anymore

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Create a document in Writer
2. Insert the equation "bold n"
3. Save the document in docx and close
4. Reopen the document in Writer
5. Reopen the equation and observe the difference

Actual Results:
The "bold" command disappears in equations, therefore symbols are not properly displayed

Expected Results:
"bold" format command should be preserved after converting the document in docx because docx equations do have a boldface format


Reproducible: Always

Corrado, hank you for reporting the bug. It seems you're using an old version of LibreOffice. Could you please try to reproduce it with the latest version of LibreOffice from https://www.libreoffice.org/download/libreoffice-fresh/ ? I have set the bug's status to 'NEEDINFO'. Please change it back to 'UNCONFIRMED' if the bug is still present in the latest version. Change to RESOLVED WORKSFORME, if the problem went away.

Docx file containing an equation with an initially bold symbol

The document has been generated staring from a blank document, then the formula "bold n = 32" has been inserted. Them, the document has been saved in docx and reopened. The resulting formula is "n = 32".
