@tl:
You said that this behavior is intended, because quoted text is not ment to be
part of a formula. BUT to my current knowledge of typesetting it is normally
ment to be part of the formula as soon as it is part of a fraction.
The reason is this: variables in formulas are usually displayed in italic
letters, but constants are to be displayed in upright letters. This has in most
scientific textbooks the result that function names (sin, cos,...) as well as
units (m, s, W, km,...) are displayed in upright letters.
The easiest way to get upright letters in the OO formula editor seems to be the
usage of quotation marks (I know there are different ways to achieve this, but
they are too complicated for everyday use...). As a result in all my
(scientific) formulas there are quoted parts of the text, that should be treated
as normal part of the formula, just in upright letters.
Conclusion: an implicit 'alignl' for quoted text might be useful in general. But
in fractions this is annoying in my eyes, there should be an 'alignm' default
behavior.
Footnote: The current behavior leads to unexpected and surprising formula
typesetting, that give the impression of inconsinstency, just try the
following:
{a+b+c+d} over {4 cdot "A"} = {a+b+c+d} over {"A" cdot 4}
