Description Francesco 2023-04-23 20:35:38 UTC
Description:
The preview of the equation editor is normally too small.
To check what you are actually writing you have to close is to see the equation en then reopen the editor. You have to do it several time.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Insert an equation
2. set font size bigger than 12 (22 in my case)
3. write a formula, like: %delta vec v = left( binom { %delta v_x }{ %delta v_y }right)= left ( matrix{frac{partial }{} # <?> ## <?> # <?>}  right )

Actual Results:
I can see in the preview just the "%delta vec v = left( binom { %delta v_x" part

Expected Results:
See all the formula, so I can check for errors


Reproducible: Always


User Profile Reset: Yes

Additional Info:
I used "Quick test for corrupted profiles: use a temporary, new user profile" and got same result

What zoom value is showing in the sm Formula Editor as you add an OLE object. Does adjusting the zoom bar impact the frame of the OLE?

Could be os/DE specific.

But can not confirm on Windows builds, no issue inserting an OLE formula to Writer canvas. The zoom bar for OLE sm module shows at 100%, and the OLE frame autosizes and fits without scroll bars during the input session.  

Although we do still have the OLE frame behavior in Impress session similar to what is described in OP for Writer. That is see also bug 81285
