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

 

** Description changed:

- Binary package hint: openoffice.org
+ 1) lsb_release -rd
+ Description:	Ubuntu 11.10
+ Release:	11.10
  
- Using Ubuntu = 8.04;  OOo = 1:2.4.1
+ 2) apt-cache policy libreoffice-writer
+ libreoffice-writer:
+   Installed: 1:3.4.3-3ubuntu2

- The "newline" command is supposed to start a new line in your equation.
- Sometimes it doesn't work
+ apt-cache policy libreoffice-math
+ libreoffice-math:
+   Installed: 1:3.4.3-3ubuntu2

- 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 :
+ 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
- 
- Hope this helps to catch the bug.
