@Andrzej (In reply to comment #2):
Hm, that MIGHT show that there IS a problem with AOOo, I did some additional
research.

Reproducible with server installation of  "AOOo 4.0.0-Dev – English UI / German
locale [AOO400m1(Build:9700) - Rev.1476029]" on WIN7 Home Premium (64bit)", own
separate user profile and uninstalled MathType:

1. Open reporter's sample document from File menu of AOOo Start Center
2. Double click Formula Object
   > Object will appear in AOOo Math Window 
   Expected: can be edited
   Actual: Read only

Already reproducible with OOo 3.1.1, OOo 1.1.5, so it seems that never worked
with OOo.

In an unzipped ods (sample document saved from LibO) I see a "Star Math 5.0
formula" object, but may be that's a rating by LibO? I am not sure concerning
the object type, and AOOo will edit the formula in the LibO.ods without
problems

Competitors:
Works fine (object can be edited without MatType 6.9 installed) with 
* "Lotus Symphony Release 3.0.1 Revision 20120110.2000"
* LibO all versions I tested (3.3.0 ... Master 4.1)

Because of the easy workaround with MathType I con't consider this one very
urgent. But if other software can do, AOOo should be able, too?

Need to know
------------
What type of object is that?
Can the problem also be solved with an existing extension?
