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
