Description: When editing formula objects in any of Writer, Calc, or Math, if I attempt to insert a formula element from a tool pallet (for example brackets or an integral symbol) the element does not get inserted at the cursor position. Instead, it gets inserted at the beginning of the formula and a shitload of curly braces gets added all over the existing formula. It results in a mess. Steps to Reproduce: 1.Open the formula editor in any LibreOffice application. 2.Create a formula: B = 1 over {4 %pi %epsilon_0} 3.With the cursor at the end of the line of text, insert an integral symbol from the Operators tool pallet. Actual Results: { int to { <?> } from { <?> } <?> { B = { 1 over { 4 %pi %epsilon _ 0 } } } } Expected Results: B = 1 over { 4 %pi %epsilon _ 0 } int to { <?> } from { <?> } <?> {} Reproducible: Always User Profile Reset: Yes Additional Info: Version: 24.2.4.2 (X86_64) / LibreOffice Community Build ID: 420(Build:2) CPU threads: 12; OS: Linux 6.8; UI render: default; VCL: gtk3 Locale: en-US (en_US.UTF-8); UI: en-US Ubuntu package version: 4:24.2.4-0ubuntu0.24.04.2 Calc: threaded
switch from Visual edit mode Tools -> Options -> LibreOffice Math -> Settings 'Miscellaneous Options' and uncheck 'Enable visual editing', OK out and restart LibreOffice. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 159600 ***
Thank you, Stuart.
Sorry, let's dupe that to bug 160226 instead...
