          Issue ID: 125642
        Issue Type: DEFECT
           Summary: Mac/Windows incompatibility when rendering the
                    square-root symbol
           Product: Math
           Version: 4.1.1
          Hardware: All
                OS: All
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P3
         Component: ui
          Assignee: issues@openoffice.apache.org
          Reporter: alain.baudhuin@skynet.be

Please see the files provided at
http://www.cspu.be/~baudhuina/openofficeIssue_SquareRoot/

File SquareRootSymbol_Issue.odt just contains two small identical Math
formulas, featuring a square root symbol.

The first one was last updated on Windows, and the second one was last updated
on a Mac.  (this has been confirmed with Windows 7 and Vista, and several
versions of MacOS).

On Windows, the formula updated on the Mac does not render properly when
editing the file, nor when printing or generating pdf files (lines are
disconnected) while the other one is perfect.

On Mac, the formula updated on Windows does not render properly when editing
the file, nor when printing or generating pdf files (lines overlap))while the
other one is perfect.

See files SquareRootSymbol_Issue_GeneratedFromMac.pdf and
SquareRootSymbol_Issue_GeneratedFromWindows.pdf to see the result on each
platform.

Opening and closing without any change the formula which does not render
properly fixes the issue, but since formulas are not refreshed when printing,
it is a very tedious job for large documents....

The provided formulas demonstrate the issue, which can become much more serious
with more complex formulas.

Thanks for your attention on this matter.

Yes, set it to duplicate and close it then. As you are the reporter, it should
be possible.

The macro indeed fixes the issue in the formulas, so I guess it is indeed a
duplicate to issue 91779. Should I mark it as duplicate or let a developper
rule on this?

Created attachment 83967
  --> https://issues.apache.org/ooo/attachment.cgi?id=83967&action=edit
Macro to force update of Math objects in Writer

That is likely a problem of missing update on loading, see issue 91779. Please
try, whether the attached Basic macro corrects the display errors. The macro
does nothing but update the Math objects. Nevertheless do not try it on the
original document, but on a copy.

If the macro makes your formulas look nice, then this issue is duplicate to
issue 91779.

The issue is indeed a missing update on loading. Marked as duplicate.
