Entering long text strings (> 16 characters) in mathematical formulas causes them to render improperly or crash OpenOffice. Formulas are always rendered wrong under this condition, but crashes appear randomly (and more often with large formulas). Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Start OpenOffice with an empty document 2. Insert->Object->Formula 3. Enter "12345678901234567" (including quotation marks) 4. (If formula is not updated automatically) press F9 Actual Results: Extra whitespace is inserted to the left of the formula. Expected Results: Formula rendered correctly.
Can't reproduce that, following your example no extra whitespace is added for me. Could you please post your output of "emerge info", this could be a problem in regard to CFLAGS. You could also try openoffice-bin and see if you have the same problem there.
Now I can't reproduce the problem on any of my computers. I must have been doing something strange then. It seemed so predictable, but now I guess there's no hope finding the cause. Sorry for taking up your time with this.
Ok, thanks for reporting back, closing
