Problem description: 

Steps to reproduce:
1. create new document, portrait A4 with default margins
2. make new bullet list, add positions so the last one is on the end of page
3. fill last position with text so it takes almost whole line
4. insert long formula after text so it will be moved to next line and next page
5. place your caret (cursor) before formula and try to backspace and/or shift-enter

Sometimes the formula disappears from page layout.
It also happened on 3.6.1.

Comment 1 A (Andy) 2013-03-02 11:33:30 UTC 
reproducible with LO 4.0.0.3 (Win7 Home, 64bit)

If I place the cursor before the formula and press backspace then the formula will be deleted.

Reproductible in LO 4.4.0.3, although bit tricky to replicate using attached document.

Corrected steps (with default formatting of freshly installed Writer):
1. create empty bullet list with positions up to last line of page
2. on last member of list enter formula: sum left ( a over b over c over d right ), it should move itself to new page
3. place your cursor before formula and start placing "at" (@) symbol repeatedly
4. after 35th character, last line will move back to first page and break occurs between characters and formula. However, formula is not visible on 2nd page.

Comment 5 szekta 2016-02-21 10:04:35 UTC 
Still in 5.1.0.3 @win10 x64, although partially fixed by default style.
To reproduce, one has to follow steps from comment 3, but also modify "Default" style, so it won't control widows and orphans.

After page break, formula makes itself invisible but selectable. It appears after double clicking on it and disappears again after leaving formula edit mode.

Formula also reappears after creating another bullet list entry, but disappears after removing it and editing its paragraph content.

Looks like it's fixed!
