Description palmierivinc.ent 2021-09-15 15:51:15 UTC 
Description:
With Writer, after i deleted an in-text formula, the cursor is placed one caracter at the right of the expected position.

It might to be seen as a bug, but it also happens when i want to replace a formula by another one: assuming that the new formula is in the paperboard, if i select the old one and paste the new one, it replaces the old formula as expected, but its position in the text is no longer correct. This implies an additional operation, hence a loss of productivity.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Fill a line with the text "1234567890",
2. Put the text cursor between "1" and "2",
3. Insert a formula with Insert > Object > Formula,
4. Get out of the formula editor with ESC,
4. Delete this formula with DEL.

Actual Results:
The cursor is between "2" and "3".

Expected Results:
The cursor is between "1" and "2".


Reproducible: Always


User Profile Reset: No

This comportment was already present with LO 6.4.6.
