Apache OpenOffice (AOO) Bugzilla – Issue 106483
embedding a math-formula in a calc-table, the formula and normal text are put on one place instead of beside like in writer

open a calc-table go into a cell click insert-object-formula write something esc write text to the same cell the text won't be after the formula, but cover it
also the formulas are printed to low - they cross the lower cell-frame-line (at least at the monitor)
It is not possible in Calc to anchor something to the text, but you can anchor it only to cell or to page. In addition Calc hasn't got any wrapping property for objects. Such handling requires a totally different concept for Math-formulas and for the possible content of cells. Therefore it is not a defect, but a feature request.
I just found out, that there is missing „anchor - as character“. If this is a defect or a feature depends on what one expects. As user I expect the anchor-as-character-behavior as default like in Writer - so I recognise this as a defect. The developer won't expect, what he didn't code, so he will see it as a feature. Of course I write a bug-report as a user for a developer. So its both - defect and feature :) A a math-formula is part of text (just special formatted text) it should be anchored as character. I tried to put formulas only to empty cells, but after sorting the table they appeared at absolutely wrong places...
