There's already a bug report about this, I think, here: https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=32362
which also points back to an older bug from OpenOffice.org here: http://openoffice.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=66848 But it doesn't look like there's been any activity on it for long time. I only recently stumbled on this bug while putting together a document/presentation in LibreOffice. You can kind of work around it in Impress in a roundabout way by making a big font non-scalable bracket and putting it on top of the bad one, but there's no working around it in Writer. For any kind of stuff where you might use big brackets in math formulas, it makes Impress more difficult to use and Writer impossible to use compared to MS Office. ** Bug watch added: freedesktop.org Bugzilla #32362 http://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=32362 ** Bug watch added: openoffice.org/bugzilla/ #66848 http://openoffice.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=66848 -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to libreoffice in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/827695 Title: bug in displaying scalable brackets in math object Status in “libreoffice” package in Ubuntu: Triaged Bug description: 1) lsb_release -rd Description: Ubuntu 11.04 Release: 11.04 2) apt-cache policy libreoffice-writer libreoffice-writer: Installed: 1:3.3.3-1ubuntu2 Candidate: 1:3.3.3-1ubuntu2 Version table: *** 1:3.3.3-1ubuntu2 0 100 /var/lib/dpkg/status 1:3.3.2-1ubuntu5 0 500 http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ natty-updates/main i386 Packages 1:3.3.2-1ubuntu4 0 500 http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ natty/main i386 Packages 3) When is expected to happen in LibreOffice Writer with embedded LO Math equation is the scalable square brackets look as they would in Word. 4) What happens instead is the top and bottom part of the bracket look like a square instead of a line pointing inwards towards the equation.
