Title:
TexMaths extension issue after installing libatk-adaptor
Status in libreoffice package in Ubuntu:
Expired
Bug description:
The TexMaths extension has an issue if the package libatk-adaptor is
installed on Ubuntu (as a dependency of gnome-orca for example).
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.
I don't know where the bug is so I reported this bug against the
libreoffice and libatk-adaptor packages.
