Description Yury 2015-01-07 09:15:54 UTC

Suppose you have created a doc with one formula. Then you can't get the right-click on this object to show the popup menu with `Frame` item. Instead you get a popup menu with `Object` and `Caption` items (middle of the list).

Simple right-click in the state of NO formula object having selection marker active (eight little green squares on the frame) gives a popup menu with `Object` and `Caption` items.

On the other hand, if you have AT LEAST two formulas in the doc, then you can right-click-select one of them, and then right-click (sic! for the previous selection to remain active) anywhere in the doc for the popup to close, and then right-click on another formula, and then you get the popup with the `Frame` item. Same sequence of right-clicks now gets you a popup with the `Frame` item for any other formula object.

But if you have only one formula object, you'll never get that kind of popup (I didn't try for any impossible-to-reproduce workarounds).

And the `Object` and `Frame` dialogs are actually different as to what frame settings they allow to edit (which is a subject for another ticket).

Replication of the issue: as described.

I got Frame after:
1. right-click formula
2. right-click another formula

Easy to repro when you have created one formula: just copy and paste another to a new line, or new document while keeping the formula in the clipboard.
