Currently LO Math's Formula Editor uses only about half the available space for formula editing. This does not provide a good experience when formulas get too long, which is common for matrices and multi-line formulas. See the image "Formula Editor - BEFORE". I believe it would be better if the Formula Editor could use all the available width, as shown in "Formula Editor - AFTER".
