Created attachment 185149 [details] Long equation in MSO (wraps as expected) A recurrent problem that I face when reading academic papers/theses using LO Writer is that long equations do not wrap to the page width. Very often I receive DOCX files to review and occasionally some equations will be longer than the page width. In MSO these equations will wrap (see attachment), so that if a equation is longer than the line, then it will use multiple lines when rendered. However in LO these equations do not wrap and they are rendered outside the page, so they became impossible to read. The same problem happens with inline equations (equations that are written in a paragraph alongside text). I know that this is a limitation of how LO Math works and fixing this is no easy task. But if we would like to make LO a viable alternative in the academic world (at least in areas where equations are used often as engineering and mathematics), we need to provide better equation support and allow for equations to flow with the paragraphs in Writer.

Hello Rafael. Thank you for reporting this bug. I wasn't able to reproduce this issue using the following versions: Version: 7.6.0.0.alpha0+ (X86_64) / LibreOffice Community Build ID: a834bbad8295cba0ca88a91a524aad48640271ec CPU threads: 8; OS: Windows 10.0 Build 19044; UI render: Skia/Raster; VCL: win Locale: en-US (en_US); UI: en-US Calc: threaded Version: 7.4.3.2 (x64) / LibreOffice Community Build ID: 1048a8393ae2eeec98dff31b5c133c5f1d08b890 CPU threads: 8; OS: Windows 10.0 Build 19044; UI render: Skia/Raster; VCL: win Locale: en-US (en_US); UI: en-US Calc: threaded Kind Regards
Rafael, could you please add some example with a long Math formula for testing. Thanks
Created attachment 185167 [details] Writer dummy text with OLE formula object, too wide to fit so needs to wrap
Confirmed. No wrap of OLE formula (in-line or as stand alone). Formula anchored as character can be force shrunk to fit within margins, but no ability to wrap/auto-insert "newline" elements.

Created attachment 185172 [details] Long equation in a paragraph with text Note that the same problem happens with long equations in paragraphs with text. See this attachment as an example. In MSO the equation will flow with the paragraph and part of the equation will be displayed in the first line, whereas the rest of the equation will be in the second line. In LO the entire equation will be sent to the second line, making the paragraph look weird.
