I'm not sure I understand your bug report, because when I watch the video you attached, I can see you typing the ^ symbol at 1:01, and it causing writer to insert an exponent in the formula.
That wasn't very smart of me. I was typing ^ on the keyboard. By typing the symbol from the keyboard, the symbol simply does not appear in the Math Editor. Appears only if selected on the functions tab.
Can you paste here the information from Help->About LibreOffice...? I'm not able to reproduce this in: Version: 7.2.2.2 / LibreOffice Community Build ID: 02b2acce88a210515b4a5bb2e46cbfb63fe97d56 CPU threads: 10; OS: Mac OS X 10.16; UI render: default; VCL: osx Locale: en-US (en_US.UTF-8); UI: en-US Calc: threaded

Looks like something GTK3 related. Follow the Video.

From the video, the problem I see is the horizontal scrollbar that appeared and covered up the formatted formula as soon as it tried to display the subscript for log_2, when using VCL: X11. But other than that, entering exponents seemed to work.
The ^ symbol enters, when Writer with GTK3, only if selected in the functions tab of the Math Editor. If you try to enter the ^ symbol via the keyboard (ABNT), it does not appear.

It's not a bug, it's the mean to say to the editor to transform what is after ^ in an exponent. Idem with _ which transforms next character in indice. If you want to see ^, depending on the meaning you give to this operator, you can use AND operator or place ^ between "" (type " then ^ the space the "). Closing as NotABug. Best regards. JBF

Attached are the videos of the problem. I'm using Ubuntu 20.04, but on notebook with Debian 11, it also has the same problem.

Hi Marcelo, I am from Brazil as well and I'm running LO 7.3.3 with the Gtk3 VCL plugin. Everything is working as expected and I cannot reproduce the bug. Pressing the ^ key will enter the "^" character in the formula editor as expected. My keyboard is ABNT2.

Created attachment 179950 [details] Vídeo simbol ^ entrance Hello Rafael Lima, After distro upgrade, Ubuntu 20.04 to Ubuntu 22.04, the error is no longer repeated. Follow video. From what I had noticed, the error only happened when using GTK+ as an interface in LibreOffice. Some GTK+ update should have fixed it. Thanks.
