--- Comment #18 from V Stuart Foote <[email protected]> ---
@Ben,
Sorry, comment was for the devs as I was digging into the Writer ODT document
archive where the Math formulas are all Object Linked Embedded (OLE). Problem
is that the temporary images created of the files are present for each OLE (the
StarView metafiles found in the ObjectReplacements directory) but the actual
formulas are deleted from, or are not being written to, their respective ODF
formula objects!
Meaning when the page refreshes in some fashion, rereading the formulas from
the embedded objects, since the formula object is empty when parsed the
resulting meta image is blank and the formula disappears from the document
canvas.
Moving forward we need to figure out why the StarMath formulas are not being
written back into their respective objects. Or are being written and then
cleared on a subsequent rewrite.
The sample document helped confirm there is an issue, but we still have to
reproduce it. This is likely a cache and memory management issue for your OS
and build of LibreOffice.
Lets see if one of the devs picks it up and has specifics for you.
You may need you to update to current LibreOffice release 5.1.3.2 and retest.
Also, you might check if a periodic <Ctrl>+S forced save (writing any pending
updates to the formula objects back to their containers) reduces the frequency
of losing the formulas from the document page.
In fact, lets make that a needinfo:
1. While taking notes into writer and inserting formula objects do you save the
document with a <Ctrl>+S?
2. If so how often?
3. And does loss of formulas seem to occur during that save process?
4. Do you have the LibreOffice AutoSave function enabled? (Tools -> Options ->
Load/Save -> General)
5. Does the AutoSave seem to cause loss of the formulas?
Please answer those questions and set back to NEW.
