Writer file showing result of the Math formula bug
In the release notes, at 24.2 the Math Formula Editor is now in Visual mode. Meaning the formula cursor rather than the edit bar has focus. Look there for cursor position and placement of inserted elements. The additional braces result both from use of the spacing "~" marks, and more general need to protect the formula layout given the shift to Visual in-line edit mode, see also bug 130741 If you want to restore the old 7.6 (non-visual mode) open the Math module directly and from Tools -> Options -> LibreOffice Math 'Settings' panel uncheck the 'Enable visual editing' and OK out. Might note the other settings as well. We are interested in any legitimate issues with the shift of the formula editor to the visual edit mode.

I am very happy it isn't a bug. To anyone else: find the LibreOffice Math settings by opening a new Formula from the new document list, not just inserting a formula in Writer. Best wishes. *** Bug 159949 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** Thank you can confirm it is working fine on 24.2.1.2 I am now using version 24.2.1.2 Creating a formula using Formula as an independant item seems to work fine in both modes. I am used to adding lots of formulas into documents inserting and editing formulas directly in Writer. Turning off visual editing makes everything work fine using the input area at the bottom of the screen. Turning on visual editing makes working with complex formulas difficult, I have to revert to using the input area at least some of the time. I also notice that using visual editing the "newline" element does not get added when used from the elements sidebar. I would expect Formula to behave the same way when used as an independant item and when used as an insert into Writer. I am happy continuing to use Formula inserted into Writer with Visual Editing turned off for the time being. I hope these comments help. Thankyou to the team working on Formula, it is the reason I turned to OpenOffice.org and then LibreOffice.
