** Description changed: Tested May 2nd running the Ubuntu Live/install .iso for both 24.04 and 26.04. No settings changed. Occurs on different PCs. In LibreOffice Impress, under the Insert>OLE Object, the option for Formula Object is greyed out so you can't create (Math) Formula Objects. Worse, if you have any Formula Objects in already existing Impress files - and you double-click the objects, the Formula Objects get corrupted (LO - turns them into static images rather than editable formula objects). + and you double-click the objects directly, the Formula Objects get + corrupted (LO turns them into static images rather than editable formula + objects). Downloading the latest version of LibreOffice and overwriting the bundled version fixes the greying out and the further corrupting of - files -- in other words, the problem seems to be that Ubuntu is bundling - a corrupted/incomplete version of LibreOffice -- but as far as I can - tell, any Formula Objects you may have already corrupted cannot be - reverted to editable Formula Files and so are permanently corrupted. + files but any Formula Objects you may have already corrupted look to + remain permanently corrupted.
