Created attachment 58984 [details] Wrong alignment of numbers inside math matrices The instructions alignr , alignc, and alignl are no more operational with matrix command. Their consequences are bizarre. See attachment for exact description and examples. This bug appeared with version 3.4 and is still present in 3.5.1.2. (The 3.3 version does not have this bug.) The same bug appears with Open Office new versions... Tested on Mac OS X 10.6.8 (Snow Leopard) and Mac OS X 10.7.3 (Lion).
Created attachment 59600 [details] Good alignment of numbers inside math matrices (OO 3.3.0) Compare both attachments. Alignment is correct with "old" 3.3 versions of LO and OO, but no more with the 3.4 and 3.5 versions.

Created attachment 63794 [details] Export of testcase ODT from inside hybrid PDF While running bibisect (3.5) on this bug, I was unable to properly open the hybrid PDFs with the earliest 3.5 builds. I'm pulling-out the ODT from the BugsInLO3.5 testcase file to make testing easier/possible.
Regression does appear in oldest version of bibisect-3.5.tar.lzma and must be older. (If anyone has/makes a bibisect for 3.4, I'll gladly run it against these bugs!)

Here is the easy way I found to resolve this problem I pointed out 2 years ago. Inside the matrix code (in Math module), negative numbers should be written with the large minus sign « – », instead of the narrow one « - ». On an Apple mac keyboard, the large minus sign is obtained via simultaneous keys [alt][maj][+=], where [maj] stands for the (majuscule) capital letters key. The output in Text (out of Math module) is the same large minus sign, but the alignment (left, center, right) is now respected. Tested on LO 4.2.6.2 and OO 4.1.1 (running under Mavericks).
--> b_r_e_f@yahoo.ca please do not change version field. it should indicate first release where the bug appeared not latest. I'm reverting it to 3.4.0 right now. regarding the status of the bug, the thing you describe looks like a workaround and not as a fix by a developer. @Joel how should we label this? WORKSFORME?
This is not fixed. Using a minus as text is only a workaround for using a negative number. This workaround works the same as putting an empty string before the number.
Changed OS to All as there are duplicates for other OS. Best regards. JBF
