Wrong behavior in version 4.2.0 beta2

Problem description: 
The formula inserted in a line sinks.  Its position goes below the base of the line, which is incorrect.

Steps to reproduce:
--------
TEST 1 (insert formula after other text)
--------
1. Create a new file with Writer.
2. Type in a TAB, then insert a formula, you will notice the position of the formula incorrect.

--------
TEST 2 (insert formula first, then insert text before it)
--------
1. Create a new file with Writer.
2. Insert a formula.  ==> Its position is good now.
3. Insert a TAB before the formula.  ==> The formula sinks.

--------
TEST 3
--------

Comment 8 Jacques Guilleron 2013-12-12 23:42:32 UTC
Hello Ryan,

In your document, mouse over the formula, right clic on it.
In the contextual menu, choose 'Object' and in 
Type > Position > Vertical, I think you have:
'from bottom' and, at the right side, 'Baseline'.
If this is the case:
Change 'from bottom' by 'Center',
       'Baseline' by 'Caracter'
Clic on Ok.
Does this work for you?

Kind regards,

Jacques

Hi Jacques,

Please refer to the three new attachments.

As you suggested, I checked 'Object > Type' tab, its default anchor was "As character", and 'Position' was not editable.

Then I changed anchor to "To character", 'Position' become editable, 'Vertical' was 'from bottom' '0.00"' by 'Character'.  After I clicked 'OK', the result was not I wanted.

Kind regards,

Ryan
Comment 13 Jacques Guilleron 2013-12-15 10:43:18 UTC
Hi Ryan,

...'Position' was not editable.
On Windows 7, that's it.
I tried to find another report with such a behavior but didn't. So the best I think is to reinstall this version with a clean user profile and see if that solve the problem.
See: https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Faq/General
Please precise also your Linux distribution and version number. This can help too.

Kind regards,

Jacques

Hi Jacques,

Can't you reproduce this bug?

On my Windows XP machine, 4.2.0 has this bug, too.  It behaves excactly the same as that on my Linux.

On my Linux machine, other versions of LibreOffice behave well, only 4.2.0 beta2 has this bug.

I am sure my tests are performed with fresh installation, both on Linux and Windows.

On Linux, 4.1.2 was installed from Debian package source "wheezy backports", 4.0.6, 4.1.3, 4.1.4, 4.2.0 beta2 are installed according to this page:
https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Installing_in_parallel

Following are my 4.2.0 test environment (Linux):

Hi Jacques,
It is a correct behavior that formula's anchor 'As character' -> 'Position' is not editable.  I tested on other versions of LO and OpenOffice.

Hi Ryan,

Yes. I don't reproduce with LO 4.2.0.0.beta2 & Windows 7 Home Premium. I join an image of my default settings to show you what I have. Those settings are the same on LO 4.1.3.2 and LO 3.6.6.2 portable.
You have provided required informations. I set Status to Unconfirmed. Others users will can test and answer to you.

Thank you,

Are you using a 64 bits version ?

Simpler procedure:
1. New Text document
2. View > Nonprinting Characters (easier to see the bug)
3. Insert > Object > Formula
=> The nonprinting character indicating the end of the paragraph appears over the top limit of the page area.

I agree with Pierre Yves.
I reproduce on Windows 7/64 and OpenMandriva & Version : 4.2.0.1  
I do not reproduce the bug when "Math baseline alignement" is unchecked.
But in that case, formula are not correctly aligned.

If I edit the formula : Format -> Spacing -> Category -> Borders, I get something like 252,52 mm for each (left, right, top, bottom) instead of 0 or 1 mm.

Hello,
I opened a file (written with LO 4.1.4.2) with LO 4.2.0.1 and "Math baseline alignement" checked. 

All formulae are in a wrong position with VertOrientPosition = 0.

To my mind, it's not possible to release LO 4.2 with such a bug.

I hope somebody could find where is the problem and so fix the bug.

Happy new year to everybody who read this comment.
