Problem description: Steps to reproduce: 1. Create a Formula (i.e. in Draw) 2. Copy the Formula (Ctrl + C) 3. Try to Past the Formula in InDesign 4. Get an Error "EPS-Import: Undefined Errorcode" Current behavior: creates an error Expected behavior: Vectorgraphics-Version of the Formula imported Operating System: Windows 8 Version: 4.1.4.2 release
Additional Info: When exporting the Formula using "EPS" as file format, I can easily place the file in InDesign. The error occurs only when copying. Though always saving and then placing is much more unconvenient than copying.
Why do you think that there is here a bug in LibreOffice ? Did it work in a previous version? Best regards. JBF
Yes, it did work in the past.

Not sure what information you need - I don't remember in which version of Libreoffice this last worked... setting it back to UNCONFIRMED.
This can never have worked as OP suggests. EPS is not a native internal format for LibreOffice Math formula (or of any LibreOFfice module). As an OLE object, the formula will render in a Draw, Impress, Calc or Writer. Internally they are handled as BMP raster for screen display (beleive convert/ghostscript does the font rendering), and as rendered they can be exported--notably from Draw as EPS or into other vector format. Math composes ODF formula, or alternatively MathML. The formula and markup can be exported to PDF with a specific action, but are not available for Copy/Paste in that format--only the markup can be copied, but will not then render when pasted. On OLE insert into a document, the page must be resized to hold the formula in the layout as needed, and the formula scaled to get the desired layout. Point is, there is no EPS (or any vector data) exposed with the formulas that could be copied/pasted--only internal BMP renderings. Beyond that, the LibreOffice OLE interaction with InDesign is marginal (on Windows 7 sp1 64-bit with LO 4.3.5.1 and CS4 InDesign 6.06) just a low resolution preview raster is pasted.
