Description Chris O 2020-01-03 15:56:22 UTC 
Description:
When inserting a formula during a sentence using Insert > Object > Formula the formula box no longer appears inline but is anchored to the beginning of the line.

The formula is now anchored by default as "To Character", before it was anchored to "As Character". Changing the formula to anchored as "As Character" fixes the issue.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Create new document or open existing.
2. Type some text
3. Insert > Object > Formula

Actual Results:
the formula is aligned to the left of the screen

Expected Results:
the formula should be aligned to the characters, inline of the sentence


Reproducible: Always

I can confirm the problem with Version: 6.5.0.0.alpha0+ (x64)

It is very annoying. Default anchoring "to character" might be good for images, but produces a lot of additional work in using Math objects. It should be "as character" as in LO 6.3.
