Created attachment 83644 [details] formula file showing the problem In formula/equation editor, quoting the text changes text alignment as well, which is unexpected and wrong behaviour. Example file (formula) attached. You may try with the source of the formula: E = "N" over { exp left[ 1 over {k_B T} right] − 1 } Here N is aligned to the left. Removing the double quotes from around N changes alignment to (correct) center.
Reproducible with 4.1.0.4, 3.6.0.4, 3.3.0.4 and AOO 4.0 under Win7x64.

This would kill the sacred blackguards compatibility. Even if I would like to change it, no solution is possible. Old document formats must be protected.
(In reply to dante19031999 from comment #7) > Even if I would like to change it, no solution is possible. Sorry, what do you mean? We always can introduce compatibility flags to have old documents rendered the old way. At lease describe your findings that prevent fixing this. Thanks!
Created attachment 169334 [details] formula with quotes (left and right ) added to symbol set Please note that the ascii quote (U+0022) has always been the control to bracket StarMath text runs. The alignment of a formula node containing only text is Left, not centered. Likewisee the ascii apostrophe (U+0027), and ascii tilde (U+007E) are not litterals in SM, but are spacing controls. If one actually needs to use quotes inside a formula you would need to define a symbol for it from the Symbols... dialog--though a left quote (U+201C) and a right quote (U+201D) would be more useful. The same with apostrophe and tilde if needed. Attached is a clip of a formula with correct use of quotations a lquote and rquote symbol defined.
I could yet understand THAT reason: > The alignment of a formula node containing only text is Left, not centered. although I'd like to see a reference. All that talk about quote redesigning, though, -- that just ain't serious. Just like the project attitude since ca. 2015. But whatever. I've managed to finish that big project, working on which I've reported this and other issues with LO Math. Of course, I had yet more un-fun with lauded LO's export to MS formats. In summa, after LO switching to the 4th series I've spent more effort working around LO's bad manufacturing than on the project itself. And now it's "no more LO text processor for important projects involving graphics and/or formulas" for me. And, in fact, no more LO at all, seeing as it sort of went to pot. (Of course I keep a copy in case something with proprietary LO's ODT innovations shows up here.) Cheers.
