When RTF or DOCX files containing equations are opened in Writer, all of the equation objects are stretched or shrunk to be the same size, with the resulting document unreadable. (This is on OS X 10.6.8.) A remedy is to individually click on each equation to let writer automatically resize it. This process is time consuming, however, and runs afoul of bugs 46142 (https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=46142, if the file is saved as ODT, the formulas are lost) and 36634 (https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=36634, equation editor becomes slower as it is opened multiple times).
@bug reporter: is it possible to attach a sample file?

Created attachment 75750 [details] DOCX file with equations
Created attachment 75751 [details] RTF with equations
Created attachment 75752 [details] What it looks like in Writer
Created attachment 75753 [details] What it looks like in writer
I attached DOCX and RTF examples as well as a screenshot.
Thanks for your response! I think this issue is a duplicate of Bug 59053. Can you please retest using LibreOffice 4.0.1.2 rc (= second release candidate) that you can download here: http://www.libreoffice.org/index.php/download/pre-releases/ I can't reproduce this behavior anymore using LibreOffice 4.0.1.1 rc, Linux Mint 14 x64. Thanks for reporting, Hope this is solved. Kind regards, Joren PS: I leave this bug status NEEDINFO, please retest and confirm this is fixed or not.
The bug persists in 4.0.1.2. This may be specific to OS X -- I can't reproduce it on Windows 7.
(In reply to comment #8) > The bug persists in 4.0.1.2. This may be specific to OS X -- I can't > reproduce it on Windows 7. You're right. Tested using Mac OSX 10.8.2 with LibreOffice Version 4.0.1.2 (Build ID: 84102822e3d61eb989ddd325abf1ac077904985) TinderBox: MacOSX TDF Release, Branch:libreoffice-4-0, Time: 2013-02-27_17:15:43 and I can still reproduce this behavior. Therefore I mark this as NEW. Kind regards, Joren

This got worse, now the importer simply crashes on attachement 75751. If I manually edit the file to avoid the ending "." in the second math object, then the size itself is fine, though. I'll take care of this.
