Apache OpenOffice (AOO) Bugzilla – Issue 18662
Formulas cannot be selected in document
Last modified: 2003-11-18 16:22:29 UTC
When a OO text document containing formulas is opened, clicking on formulas doesn't select them. Workaround: click and put cursor somewhere in text, select Insert Object | Formula, (disk noise indicates that some missing module is loaded), abort inserting formula. Now the new empty formula is selected and can be deleted, and from now on all the formulas can be selected, edited, etc.
could be related to Issue 20965
Please Attach the documents which make this problem, so we can test it/faster to confirm. (Without the documents, we cannot confirm the problem easily/need more time) Don't forget to cut other part of the documents, so the file size is small, but we still able to see the problem.
Probably not necessary. I've read Issue 20965, and this one does appear to be related. Besides, it wasn't just a particular document. Any of my documents with a couple dozen formulas would do the trick.
With "a couple of dozen" formulas OOo takes its time to have them ready for editing. You may find that the workaround to place the cursor somewhere into the text isn't necessary if you leave OOo alone for a while. In any case, this is clearly something that needs to be enhanced. Will close this as a duplicate of Issue 20965. *** This issue has been marked as a duplicate of 20965 ***
