Bug ID: 146157
Summary: Please make the inverted question marks after trailing
equality signs optional
Product: LibreOffice
Version: 7.2.2.2 release
Hardware: All
OS: All
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: medium
Component: Formula Editor
Assignee: [email protected]
Reporter: [email protected]
Description:
When opening a .docx file which most probably has been created with MS Word and
contains mathematical expressions with trailing equality signs, there is an
inverted question mark after each such equality sign which isn't there when
opening the same file with MS Word. Example:
2+3 = ___
Writer shows:
2+3 =¿ ___
I understand that this is supposed to highlight equations which are incomplete
and miss the r.h.s. but in some contexts the missing part is intended.
I already found the solution to write
2+3 =""___
which suppresses the question mark, but this way I always need to edit each
expression in a .docx file I open which is quite cumbersome. It would be great
if these question marks could be made optional.
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open a .docx document with formulas containing expressions with trailing
equality signs or write such an expression, for example "2+3=" into the formula
editor of an empty document.
2. Observe that there is an inverted question mark after each trailing equality
sign.
3. Profit!
Actual Results:
An inverted question mark is shown after every trailing equality sign.
Expected Results:
The question mark shown after a trailing equality sign should be optional.
Reproducible: Always
User Profile Reset: Yes
