Description andyl 2005-12-01 17:56:41 UTC 
This seems to be a regression from OOo 1.1.x.

In OOo 1.1.x, if an expression such as x^2+3x+5 is entered into the formula
editor (with the usual font settings: italic for variables, non-italic for
numbers), both "x"s are rendered in italic (correctly).

In OOo 2.0, if an expression such as x^2+3x+5 is entered into the formula editor
(with the usual font settings: Italic for variables, non-italic for numbers),
the first "x" is rendered in italic (correctly) but the second is not.  It seems
that the exprssion 3x is treated as a number rather than being recognised as a
number followed by a variable. A workaround is to enter a space between the 3
and the x ie x^2+3 x+5, but this is irritating to remember every time. Is there
a reason why this worked corrctly in 1.1.x but not in 2.0?

Error as described in OOo-dev m139 too.

It might be the same reason as in issue 45689, although it is submitted for
variable here.
