------- Additional comments from [EMAIL PROTECTED] Mon Aug 6 03:52:00 +0000 2007 ------- When modifying an embedded formula which was copied from an existing formula object in the current document, the changed formula fails to update its size, maintaining the previous size. See attached screenshot for an example. Steps to reproduce: * Start Writer. * Insert -> Object -> Formula. * Type a formula, e.g., "x = x + 1". * Click outside the frame to leave the formula editor. * Copy (Ctrl-C) the formula to the clipboard. * Place the cursor after the formula. * Paste (Ctrl-V) * Double-click the pasted formula. * Add some extra character to the formula, e.g., "234234". * Click outside the frame to leave the formula editor. The change formula will retain the previous size and all characters will be squeezed horizontally in order to fit. The expected result is that the formula changes accordingly so that the new characters are accommodated. This is quite an annoying problem since it's common two formulas to be similar, and the user wants to modify an existing one instead of writing from scratch, and then ends up wasting time fighting around this issue. Note that the problem will often persist no matter how much you attempt to modify the formula. The only workaround is to copy the formula expression (not the formula object) into the clipboard and paste into a new empty formula object. Of course that any font settings won't be propagated that way. PS: I usually don't use OpenOffice to write documents with mathematical equations so I have no clue whatsoever to when this bug was introduced. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.
