Description Xisco Faulí 2023-12-19 17:14:09 UTC 
This is an issue I found why writing a unittest for tdf#157569

Steps to reproduce:
1. Open attachment 41418 [details] from bug 32636
2. Doubleclick on the first formula
3. type x

-> The formula in the edit view at the bottom changes from 'y=a∙b' to '{ { xy = a } ∙ b }'. It should be 'xy=a∙b' instead

Reproduced in

@Mike, since you fixed bug 158766 I thought you might also be interested in this issue
Comment 3 ⁨خالد حسني⁩ 2024-02-24 07:48:11 UTC 
This is a side effect of visual efiting being enable as it parses math equations into an internal tree and exports it back with each change, without trying to preserve the original content. This should go away if you disable visual editing. May be the option to enable/disable it should be added to te menu, since it now works immediately without needing to restart LibreOffice.
