I'd agree that the simple fact that this package is not installed by default is a bug. Formulas are an integral ( :) ) part of OOo.
And if Hardy's OOo packages silently trash any document that CONTAINS a formula, that's a severe bug. I didn't discover that Hardy's install of OOo was broken until Hardy had trashed an entire day's worth of my work (editing documents for my summer chemistry classes). Every one of those documents has formulas, and every one was corrupted by this bug. I will be spending the rest of today cleaning up the mess. (I didn't discover what the problem *was* until I tried to *edit* one of the formulas.) On my install, the corrupted formulas display as mostly blanks. Editing them once ooo-math was installed would cause them to come back, but in the wrong sized box. The only way I could get the formulas back to normal was to open each one, copy the text version of the formula, then insert a new formula and paste the formula text back in. -- Failure to have openoffice.org-math intalled causes "data corruption" https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/223476 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
