Apache OpenOffice (AOO) Bugzilla – Issue 22136
Change Defaults Spacing for Borders of Formulas to Improve Formatting in Writer
Last modified: 2017-05-20 11:13:54 UTC
Currently the "Formula" frame style in Writer has a default spacing of 0,2 cm on the left and right. - Set default spacing in Writer Formula frame style for left and right to 0cm - Change internal spacing to borders (Format-Spacing-Catergory-Spacing) of math object to 0cm - Formatting of existing document must not be changed FL->MRU: Please evaluate these new settings for formulas in Writer, Draw, Calc and Impress if they result in painting or printing problems. Especially the internal formula spacing has been introduced afterwards by Matthias Breuer (to solve painting problems??). Please return your results to me using this bug. Thank you!
I played around a little regarding the inner and outer spacing values of Math objects. I could not see problems when changing these values to zero; even not when having a border line around the object. Painting was good at all.
FL: Please change current settings as described at the beginning of this issue. Thank you!

Because of a shortage of resources we have to retarget this issue to OOo later.
If you modify your default template then every document you make will be fixed. I am changing this to an enhancement, because it is not really a defect, it is just the chosen setting. Also, this is still true in 1.1.4 and in 1.9.65 so I changed the version.
Now we have version 1.9.123 and still the default spacing of formula objects is set to 0,2 cm. Is it really a problem to reduce these values and the internal spacing to borders of math objects to zero? I think that most users don't change them individually so that almost all writer documents containing formula objects are wrongly set.
Problem still exists in 2.0.1. I strongly agree, the default setting should be zero.
I changed the target to OOo 2.0.3.
...And wanted to set OO.o 3.0.
Target adjusted

Is there an ETA for this one? Seems like a trivial change and it seems like it has already been tested -- am I right on that?
according to release status meeting -> 3.x
Any update on the ETA of this one? Would be great to see it fixed...
Hello, what happens to this issue ? It is still present in OO 3.1.1 It was opened in 2003 and we are near 2010 ! However, the problem seems trivial to solve (setting the default spacings to zero instead of 0.2 or something), and mru confirmed that this could be done. Reminder: with the current settings there is extra space around every formula, which is ugly as soon as you continue with a dot or a comma after a formula.

Year 2010. Next decade and nothing happened since 2003. I think it should be no problem to change the default settings. Please note the problem that after leaving math mode by pressing ESC twice the cursor remains left of the formula object, when left formula border is set to zero (http://www.openoffice.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=105997).
