Bug ID: 154323
Summary: Issue entering Math formulas in Writer
Product: LibreOffice
Version: 6.4.7.2 release
Hardware: x86-64 (AMD64)
OS: Linux (All)
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: medium
Component: Formula Editor
Assignee: [email protected]
Reporter: [email protected]
Description:
The issue relates to page display when entering a math formula while editing a
Writer document.
I press the 'Insert Formula' button to enter the Math window.
When I do, the window changes to display panels to the left and bottom,
providing functionality. The editing page is displayed in the main panel, where
you can see the formula being displayed as you enter markup text.
The problem is that the Writer panel is narrower than the main display, and the
part of the doc now being displayed is no where near the place where the
formula is being inserted. you need to scroll quite a bit to see how the
formula is rendering, vs your markup. For a few formulae, that's not so bad.
For many formulae it becomes a real pain. Regardless, when you close the Math
window & return to the main view, your view returns to where you were editing.
I realise it's a small issue, but fixing it would make Writer much more
friendly and slick in this area.
Steps to Reproduce:
1.Open Writer document of several pages of text
2.Invoke 'Insert Formula'
3.Formula Editor window opens, displaying the Writer page at some point
significantly above where you are inserting the formula. You may scroll the
window down to see the results of your formula
Actual Results:
See 'Steps'
Expected Results:
The part of the doc where you are editing the formula should display in the
Writer panel, so you can see what you are doing.
Reproducible: Always
User Profile Reset: No
