And this becomes a documentation issue against describing behavior of NEWLINE on formula layout [1][2]. What should be said about SM use of NEWLINE command and its effect on parsing starmath/mathml syntax for rendering of formula(s) to canvas? =-ref-= [1] https://help.libreoffice.org/latest/en-US/text/smath/guide/newline.html?DbPAR=MATH#bm_id1295205 [2] https://help.libreoffice.org/latest/en-US/text/smath/01/05040000.html?DbPAR=MATH#bm_id3148730 -- 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/281053 Title: [Upstream] Math equation editor: "newline" fails after symbols Status in LibreOffice: Invalid Status in OpenOffice: In Progress Status in libreoffice package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Status in openoffice.org package in Ubuntu: Won't Fix Bug description: 1) lsb_release -rd Description: Ubuntu 11.10 Release: 11.10 2) apt-cache policy libreoffice-writer libreoffice-writer: Installed: 1:3.4.3-3ubuntu2 Candidate: 1:3.4.3-3ubuntu2 Version table: *** 1:3.4.3-3ubuntu2 0 500 http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ oneiric/main i386 Packages 100 /var/lib/dpkg/status apt-cache policy libreoffice-math libreoffice-math: Installed: 1:3.4.3-3ubuntu2 Candidate: 1:3.4.3-3ubuntu2 Version table: *** 1:3.4.3-3ubuntu2 0 500 http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ oneiric/main i386 Packages 100 /var/lib/dpkg/status 3) What is expected to happen in LibreOffice Writer via the Terminal: cd ~/Desktop && wget https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/libreoffice/+bug/281053/+attachment/2417117/+files/math_newline_issue.tar.gz && file-roller -h math_newline_issue.tar.gz && cd math_newline_issue && lowriter -nologo math_newline_issue.odt is no upside down question marks are presented in the Math formulas. 4) What happens is the upside down question marks are present erroneously due to "newline" command. If "newline" is preceded or followed by some characters (as +, -, =, which are often needed), some error marks "¿" are obtained, and perhaps only a single line if displayed (it depends on the character and its relative position to "newline"). Examples : a+b_ij = newline = c+d # single line; error mark a+b_ij newline = c+d # two lines; missing "="; error mark a+b_ij newline + c+d # correct behaviour !! The "+" sign does fine after newline... a+b_ij + newline c+d # ... but not before: single line, error mark here a+b_ij = newline c+d # single line, error mark. The "=" sign does bad whether after or before newline WORKAROUND: {} newline {} ProblemType: Bug Architecture: i386 Date: Fri Oct 10 03:31:54 2008 DistroRelease: Ubuntu 8.04 NonfreeKernelModules: nvidia Package: openoffice.org-core 1:2.4.1-1ubuntu2 PackageArchitecture: i386 ProcEnviron: PATH=/usr/lib/openoffice/program:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/games LANG=es_ES.UTF-8 SHELL=/bin/bash SourcePackage: openoffice.org Uname: Linux 2.6.24-19-rt i686 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/df-libreoffice/+bug/281053/+subscriptions -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages Post to : desktop-packages@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
