[Bug 281053] Re: Math equation editor: "newline" fails sometimes

 

Sure, and thanks for your attention. It's generated with LibreOffice under Ubuntu11.04. 
Also enclosed in .pdf format.

As told in the document:
I'd say the expected behaviour would be to allow us inserting a newline at any place, and to allow us  starting/ending a line with whatever we want (be it an equal or plus sign...). At most, displaying a warning in some way, but not an error mark in the output. To sum up, being more docile on what the user wants to write.

Cheers
JC

Title:
  Math equation editor: "newline" fails sometimes

Status in LibreOffice Productivity Suite:
  Incomplete
Status in The OpenOffice.org Suite:
  In Progress
Status in “libreoffice” package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete
Status in “openoffice.org” package in Ubuntu:
  Won't Fix

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: openoffice.org

  Using Ubuntu = 8.04;  OOo = 1:2.4.1

  The "newline" command is supposed to start a new line in your
  equation. Sometimes it doesn't work

  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

  Hope this helps to catch the bug.
