Image describing the steps to reproduce the bug

When I copy text from Writer that contains math formulas (Math OLE objects) and then try to paste them into Impress as OLE objects, the final result messes with the position of formulas (see the image I attached to this bug report).

Steps to reproduce:
1) Open Writer and write a sentence containing Formulas
2) Select the sentence an copy it
3) Open Impress and paste the sentence as a Writer OLE object
4) Note that the formulas are out of their original position
5) Double-click the OLE object
6) Now the formulas look nice
7) Exit the editing of the OLE object
8) Now the formulas are messed again

I have also attached the Writer file containing the sentence used in the images.

Of course, same problem with Writer OLE in Draw as was reported here :
https://www.reddit.com/r/libreoffice/comments/iaza62/how_to_add_math_equations_along_with_text_on/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web2x&context=3

That's too bad because embedding this kind of stuff would have been a workaround for https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=35033

Dear Rafael Lima,

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
