Description bigserpent 2003-08-14 07:36:26 UTC 
New RC doesn't convert MS Equations in OO at *.doc loading, so they are graphics
objects and cannot be edited. MathType to OO Math conversion is set in options.

Why does each new RC or beta contain NEW equation related bug?

Comment 2 bigserpent 2003-08-15 06:56:45 UTC 
Additional data - the opened as graphics equations look bad if they
consist from one symbol. Look at the file

I've changed priority to higher one - this bug breaks existing
functionality.

Reassigned to MRU
Comment 6 michael.ruess 2003-08-20 16:25:53 UTC 
Yes, can see the bug. Is already fixed with internal build for OO 1.1.1.
Comment 7 bigserpent 2003-08-20 17:44:02 UTC 
Does it mean the upcoming release 1.1.0 will be impossible to edit
Microsoft MathType formulae? It is significant decrease in
compatibility with MS Office.
Comment 8 michael.ruess 2003-08-22 10:46:17 UTC 
No, we now integrate the fix also for the final of OO 1.1.0.
As you said, it is a decrease in functionality.
Comment 9 khendricks 2003-08-22 13:54:58 UTC 
Hi,

Thanks for including that in OOo 1.1.0

Would you please let us know which revisions or modules to cvs update to get these 
fixes so that rc4 build so that PPC Linux and other contrib ports get the fixes too.

Thanks,

Kevin

This should be 
graphics/svx/source/msfilter/
cvs diff -r1.78 -r1.78.70.1 msdffimp.cxx
