Bug ID: 161715
Summary: Math Symbols and Insert Character are hard to use
Product: LibreOffice
Version: 24.2.4.2 release
Hardware: All
OS: All
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: medium
Component: Formula Editor
Assignee: libreoffice-bugs@lists.freedesktop.org
Reporter: bvanderme...@kbcat.com
Description:
The Symbols and Special character views are modal, meaning you need to close
them if you want to insert another symbol elsewhere in your formula. When you
reopen them, they do not remember the last symbol set selected.
Steps to Reproduce:
1. You are in math editing a formula. You want to insert the symbols for PI.
2. You click Tools, Symbols. You switch to the Greek character set and find and
insert PI.
3. You want to insert another symbol elsewhere in your formula, but you can't
because the Symbols view is modal, you can't click on another spot in your
formula while the Symbols view is open.
4. So you close the Symbols view, click where you want in your formula and go
back to Symbols. But now it has defaulted back to Arabic again, so you have to
select Greek again.
Actual Results:
The Symbols view needs to be close to select another insertion point in your
formula and when you reopen it, it defaults back to Arabic instead of your last
selection.
Expected Results:
1. You are in math editing a formula. You want to insert PI.
2. You click Tools Symbols. You switch to the Greek character set and find and
insert PI.
3. You want to insert another symbol elsewhere in your formula, so while the
Symbols view is open you click on another point in your formula to set the
insertion point. You insert the second Symbol.
4. You close the Symbols view. You open it again.
5. When it reopens it remembers that you had the Greek symbol set selected.
Reproducible: Always
User Profile Reset: No
Additional Info:
Same thing with the Special characters view.
