Title:
libatk-adaptor breaks down the LibreOffice TexMaths extension
Status in at-spi2-atk package in Ubuntu:
Confirmed
Status in at-spi2-atk package in Debian:
Fix Released
Bug description:
Package: libatk-adaptor 2.18.1-2ubuntu1
System: Ubuntu 16.04.1 LTS (Xenial Xerus)
If the package libatk-adaptor is installed on Ubuntu (as a depency of
gnome-orca for example), it breaks down the LibreOffice TexMaths
extension. TexMaths is a popular extension used to enter / edit LaTeX
equations on LibreOffice (see http://roland65.free.fr/texmaths).
Step to reproduce the bug:
1. It is assumed that LibreOffice 5.1.4 (with at least the Writer and
Draw components) is installed on Ubuntu. It is also assumed that
libatk-adaptor is installed.
2. Install texlive:
sudo apt-get install texlive
3. Download and install the TexMaths extension (version 0.42) from
there: https://sourceforge.net/projects/texmaths/files/0.42/
4. Create a new empty Writer document, then click on the Pi icon (this
is the TexMaths icon) and in the window that opens, type: 'x(t)+y(t)'
(without the quotes), then click on the LaTeX button. This generates
an SVG image of the 'x(t)+y(t)' equation.
5. Select the SVG image of the equation by left clicking on it. Then
click on the Pi icon. Now, instead of editing the equation, an error
message is displayed: "The selected object is not a TexMaths
equation... Please unselect it and call the macro again...".
6. Now, right click on the SVG image and select the 'Description' menu
voice. In the window that opens, the description is empty and does not
contain the equation text, as it should.
7. Now purge (and not just remove) the libatk-adaptor package:
sudo apt-get purge libatk-adaptor
then logout and login and repeat the steps 4, 5, and 6: everything is
OK and the equation can be edited as usual.
Another way to remove the bug instead of purging libatk-adaptor is to
rename the file: /etc/X11/Xsession.d/90atk-adaptor to
/etc/X11/Xsession.d/90atk-adaptor.orig . Then logout and login.
Note there is another bug #1584795 that relates libatk-adaptor and
LibreOffice, see there https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/at-
