New (confirmed)
Minor (Doesn't really impact professional quality as the distortion isn't enough to really stand out but I guess it could slow down work a bit)
Low (default for minor bugs, seems appropriate)
Comment 2 Luigi Boccia 2013-02-22 20:53:24 UTC
Well, I accept the classification "medium-low priority" but who uses formulas can simply not use Libreoffice properly while switching between Writer and MS Word. If you want to open a PhD thesis with hundreds of formulas it could be really a serious problem the mis-formatting of such a big amount of formulas.
Comment 3 Joel Madero 2013-02-22 20:57:56 UTC
Saving the document in LibreOffice and reopening also appears to solve the issue for all formulas. So it is indeed just the very first import seems to make the formulas look wrong
Comment 4 Luigi Boccia 2013-02-23 08:34:58 UTC
I've tried to save the file in Libreoffice (both .doc or odt format) and this does not solve the problem.
Comment 5 A.S. 2013-02-23 16:42:29 UTC
The problem seems to be similar to the one arising with docx import (bug 59053): wrong size, clicking on the equation restores size. Maybe somebody with deeper knowledge of the code base can actually assert whether both bugs are duplicate or not.
Comment 6 ign_christian 2013-06-21 06:14:07 UTC
Confirm still reproducible on LO 4.0.4.2 (Win7 32bit)

But this looks like duplicate of Bug 42732

** Please read this message in its entirety before responding **

To make sure we're focusing on the bugs that affect our users today, LibreOffice QA is asking bug reporters and confirmers to retest open, confirmed bugs which have not been touched for over a year.

There have been thousands of bug fixes and commits since anyone checked on this bug report. During that time, it's possible that the bug has been fixed, or the details of the problem have changed. We'd really appreciate your help in getting confirmation that the bug is still present.

If you have time, please do the following:

    Test to see if the bug is still present on a currently supported version of LibreOffice (4.4.1 or later)
    https://www.libreoffice.org/download/

    If the bug is present, please leave a comment that includes the version of LibreOffice and your operating system, and any changes you see in the bug behavior
  
  If the bug is NOT present, please set the bug's Status field to RESOLVED-WORKSFORME and leave a short comment that includes your version of LibreOffice and Operating System

Please DO NOT

    Update the version field
    Reply via email (please reply directly on the bug tracker)
    Set the bug's Status field to RESOLVED - FIXED (this status has a particular meaning that is not appropriate in this case)


If you want to do more to help you can test to see if your issue is a REGRESSION. To do so:
1. Download and install oldest version of LibreOffice (usually 3.3 unless your bug pertains to a feature added after 3.3)

http://downloadarchive.documentfoundation.org/libreoffice/old/

2. Test your bug
3. Leave a comment with your results.
4a. If the bug was present with 3.3 - set version to "inherited from OOo";
4b. If the bug was not present in 3.3 - add "regression" to keyword

Not reproducible for me with LibreOffice 4.4.3.0.0+ built at home under Ubuntu 14.10 x86-64.

Closing as WorksForMe.
