Problem description: Unable to input anything with the formula editor.  

Steps to reproduce:
1. open Math
2. press any key on keyboard

1. open Writer
2. double-click a formula or insert formula 

Current behavior: When using Math, keyboard input is ignored, editing field has no focus (no blinking cursor) and there appears to be no way of gaining it. When in Writer, the formula input field does not appear. 

Expected behavior: Ability to input.

It's not possible create new formulas or edit existing created in older versions.
Comment 2 Janis Petersons 2012-02-16 17:10:44 UTC 
After downgrading to 3.4.5 problem persists, so a clean reinstall could probably fix it.
Comment 3 Temachtiani 2012-02-21 11:01:11 UTC 
In Mac OS after upgrading to 3.5 version, even uninstalling and returning to previous version, the problem appear in this version too.
Comment 4 Janis Petersons 2012-02-21 12:05:50 UTC 
To solve the problem, delete the installation folder and all Libre Office settings  folders (AppData on Windows,don't know about Mac).Then install 3.5.

As of posting this I have resolved the issue and am not certain that installing 3.4.5 and upgrading would replicate the problem.

I had the same issue. I deleted all .libreoffice directory i found into .config and root directories and reinstalled libreoffice 3.5.0. Now the math module works again.
