I using Writer to create documents containing a large number of equations. I have tried to use a combination of MathType and LibreOffice Math for the equations. However when I insert around 12 MathType equations and then try to insert a LibreOffice Math equation I get the MathType error "To many windows are open". Severity of the problem depends on how many MathType Equations I have insert. When I try to close the document and open it again I frequently find that the document has to be recovered before I can use it.
Thanks for bugreport Bug I have some questions: - it is reproducible in 3.5.0 version of LibreOffice? - what version of Windows and MathType are used? - is reproducible on another computers? - please, attach small document with around 12 MathType equations so I can try reproduce this problem
Hi, *- it is reproducible in 3.5.0 version of LibreOffice?* Yes I had the same problem when I installed 3.5.0 * - what version of Windows and MathType are used?* I am using windows XP and the MathType version is 6.5a *- is reproducible on another computers?* I have reproduced it on my lap to but it runs the same operating system and MathType version as my main PC. *- please, attach small document with around 12 MathType equations so I can try* The error cannot be reproduced in this way. The MathType equations have to be introduced in the current session. If you introduce any number of MathType equations in a document, save and close the document, when you open it again you need to include other 12 MathType equations before the errors pops up gain. Closing the document and opening it again is actually the work around. Sorry about this. Thank you.

Thanks for additional information @ Tor Please, take look at this bug when will have time. Windows-specific bug with error "To many windows are open" from MathType.
Can you get us a test document since you said it's dependent on how many equations you have. Get this attached and I'll confirm the bug. Thanks for helping us out
Dear Joel, The error cannot be reproduced using a test document. The MathType equations have to be introduced in the current session. If you introduce any number of MathType equations in a document, save and close the document, when you open it again you need to include other 12 MathType equations before the errors pops up again. Closing the document and opening it again is actually the work around. Sorry about this. Should you have any other question please let me know.

Are you sure that the problem is in LibreOffice and not in MathType? What about if you create your formula in MathType directly? I assume that you can work in MathType in standalone mode. Please could you attach a screencopy of the error message? It is not clear if the error message is sent by MathType or by LibreOffice. Best regards. JBF
Dear Jean-Baptiste, The error is sent from MathType as you can check from the screenshot. However the error is sent only if working within Libreoffice with both MathType and Math. I have never tried saving a formula in MathType and then importing it. Given that the problem occurs when you open or create the MathType formula within Libreoffice, I can anticipate that it is very likely the conflict would not occur. However, this would just be a work around, that is not very practical from the workflow point of view. Should you need anything from my side just let me know.

Dear Bug Submitter, This bug has been in NEEDINFO status with no change for at least 6 months. Please provide the requested information as soon as possible and mark the bug as UNCONFIRMED. Due to regular bug tracker maintenance, if the bug is still in NEEDINFO status with no change in 30 days the QA team will close the bug as INVALID due to lack of needed information. For more information about our NEEDINFO policy please read the wiki located here: https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/QA/FDO/NEEDINFO If you have already provided the requested information, please mark the bug as UNCONFIRMED so that the QA team knows that the bug is ready to be confirmed. Thank you for helping us make LibreOffice even better for everyone! Warm Regards, QA Team
Set back to unconfirmed.
Dear Jean-Baptiste, I believe all the information that has been requested to date has been provided. The bug also seems to be in UNCONFIRMED status. Please let me know if there is anything else I should be doing. Thank you. Kind regards, Pierre-Sandre
Hi Pierre, thank you for your comment. At the moment, we don't need more information from you. What we need is another user of MathType and LibreOffice who could reproduce the behavior you described. Best regards. JBF

(In reply to comment #17) Hi, In time I came to the understanding that there are not so many users actively using extensively MathType with LibreOffice. As thus I have no objection to the removal of this bug. Possibly, in time, the Math equation editor can be equipped with a WYSIWYG GUI that would make the use of MathType immaterial. Thank you for your consideration.

Hi, Thank you for the info. I will be looking into it when I have some free time.

Comment on attachment 73006 [details] attachment-22014-1.dat HTML and DAT attachments made obsolete as they appeared to all be part of a single attempt to attach a webpage containing a screenshot to the bug. Screenshot is still attached, although an example document containing a dozen or so MathType equations for others to test would be more helpful.
Hi Pierre - So I installed a 30 day trial of MathType - if you can give EXACT reproducible steps (give the steps both in MathType -- which I am unfamiliar with -- and LibreOffice). What does it mean to "insert" (you mean copy/paste). Be as specific as possible and then I will try to confirm the issue. Thanks for your tremendous patience on this one Also please don't respond via email, it makes reading the comments much harder. Thanks
Dear Joel, The steps to follow are these: 1. Open an document in Writer. 2. Insert a MathType equation using: Insert -> OLE Object -> Further Objects -> Microsoft Equation 3.0 (or MathType; should be the same). Write something in it and close. 3. Repeat Step 2 eleven or more times. 4. Try to insert a Math (LibreOffice) formula. The error will appear at this point. Personally I use the following macro to insert the MathType more quickly, sub InsertMathTypeFormulaInWriter dim oTargetDocument as variant oTargetDocument = ThisComponent dim oCurrentController as variant oCurrentController = oTargetDocument.getCurrentController() dim oFormula as variant oFormula = oTargetDocument.createInstance("com.sun.star.text.TextEmbeddedObject") oFormula.CLSID = "0002CE03-0000-0000-C000-000000000046" oFormula.AnchorType = com.sun.star.text.TextContentAnchorType.AS_CHARACTER oFormula.attach(oCurrentController.Selection.getByIndex(0) ) dim oXCOEO as variant: oXCOEO = oFormula.ExtendedControlOverEmbeddedObject oXCOEO.doVerb(com.sun.star.embed.EmbedVerbs.MS_OLEVERB_PRIMARY) End Sub The error is reproducible both if you use the macro as well as if you insert manually the MathType instance. I am running LibreOffice 3.6.2.2 on XP at the moment. Hope this information is enough. If you need anything else just let me know.

Use of the script is not required. It is simply an easy way of opening a MathType instance. I found the instructions on the internet and it worked well with the version of LibreOffice I used. Given that the problem manifest itself in any way the MathType instance is inserted it is immaterial if the script does not work. The manual insertion of the MathType instance should work in all cases. Hence, I suggest you proceed with the manual insertion.
Reproduced. Sorry for the misunderstanding about the macro: I didn't realize I had to install MathType trial first :) If others want to repro: when MathType launches using the macro, create some formula and press ctrl-s, it will appear in Writer. You can then copy it for the repetitions. Win 7 64-bit Version: 4.4.0.0.alpha1+ Build ID: b7d8a58ff2698ffc6e22943f64aa97c5ea253bd9 TinderBox: Win-x86@42, Branch:master, Time: 2014-11-05_00:40:38

I tested with MathType 7.0 and latest LibO master and there was no problem after over 12 manual inserts. The macro does not work anymore. Closing.
