Description Alexander Karatarakis 2011-04-27 06:49:23 UTC
Created attachment 46122 [details]
Example cases featuring the bug

It is not clear to me when exactly this happens, so I included an attachment that features the problem. 

In the attachment, there are two tests with each one having 2 formulas. 

Test 1:
Copy the second formula and paste it over the first formula. The new formula is placed 1 place *back*, ie:
previous: <text><space><FORMULA1><fullstop>
now: <text><FORMULA2><space><fullstop>

Test 2:
This is the same text as test 1, but I deleted part of the first sentence. Copy the second formula and paste it over the first formula. The new formula is placed 1 place *forward*, ie
previous: <text><space><FORMULA1><fullstop>
now: <text><space><fullstop><FORMULA2>
Comment 1 Alexander Karatarakis 2011-04-27 07:19:01 UTC
The formula can move more than 1 place, but I have not encountered a case of it moving more than 4 places.

[This is an automated message.]
This bug was filed before the changes to Bugzilla on 2011-10-16. Thus it
started right out as NEW without ever being explicitly confirmed. The bug is
changed to state NEEDINFO for this reason. To move this bug from NEEDINFO back
to NEW please check if the bug still persists with the 3.5.0 beta1 or beta2 prereleases.
Details on how to test the 3.5.0 beta1 can be found at:
http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/QA/BugHunting_Session_3.5.0.-1

Comment 3 Alexander Karatarakis 2011-12-25 08:23:12 UTC
Testing with lodev-3.5 beta 2: 
the bug is still present and can be reproduced exactly as mentioned on the first comment.
Comment 4 Marcos Souza 2013-05-21 19:03:27 UTC
Reproducible in Master build 4.2.0 alpha
Comment 5 Alexander Karatarakis 2014-02-11 19:39:03 UTC
Also in final 4.2
Comment 6 Marcos Souza 2014-03-04 15:23:58 UTC
I can't reproduce this using 4.2.2.

Can someone else reproduce this or we can close this bug?
Comment 7 Alexander Karatarakis 2014-03-04 15:25:18 UTC
4.2.2? Let me check. Definitely reproducible in 4.2.1 I currently use.
Comment 8 Alexander Karatarakis 2014-03-06 19:02:19 UTC
Still occurs in 4.2.2.
In the previously attached test example, take the 3rd formula and paste in on top of the 1st formula. OR, take the 1st or 2nd formula and paste it on top of the 3rd.
