Just create a new math equation Try to insert a symbol using icon Omega None of the symbols are inserted Tested LO 7.4 dev and 7.3.1.3
I've the same problem with some characters: I can't insert `(small space) or ^ in a formula by pressing the correct key - instead I have to use the icons of the formula editor LO: 7.3.0.3 ubuntu: Kernel: 5.13.0-30-generic x86_64 This I observed the complete LO 7.3.0.x versions in the last weeks. Regards
Confirmed on : Version: 7.3.1.1 / LibreOffice Community Build ID: 30(Build:1) CPU threads: 8; OS: Linux 5.16; UI render: default; VCL: gtk3 Locale: fr-FR (fr_FR.UTF-8); UI: en-US Calc: threaded
More detailed steps to reproduce: 1. In Writer start the formula editor via "Insert > Object > Formula Object..." menu; 2. The UI changed to Math formula editor, open the Symbols dialog with "Tools > Symbols..." menu; 3. Choose a Greek letter, press "Insert" button. Actual Result: Nothing happens. Expected Result: Math code like "%alpha" inserted into the formula code pane at the bottom, Greek letter like "α" inserted into the formula object in the display pane at the middle. Directly typing code like "%alpha" in the code pane works fine and can be used as a workaround. The same problem occurs if one opens Math directly instead of inserting formula in Writer in step 1, or uses button on toolbar (I assume this is what the reporter means by "using icon Omega" in comment 0) instead of menu to invoke the dialog in step 2. Can not reproduce the "can't insert `(small space) or ^ in a formula by pressing the correct key" claim in comment 1.
