Bug Description

1) lsb_release -rd
 Description: Ubuntu oneiric (development branch)
 Release: 11.10

2) apt-cache policy libreoffice-math
 libreoffice-math:
 Installed: 1:3.4.2-2ubuntu2
 Candidate: 1:3.4.2-2ubuntu2
 Version table:
 *** 1:3.4.2-2ubuntu2 0
 500 http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ oneiric/main i386 Packages
 100 /var/lib/dpkg/status

3) What is expected to happen in LibreOffice Math is when one clicks "Upper and Lower Limit" it inserts the necessary equation components:

sum from{<?>} to{<?>} <?>

4) What happens instead is it displays as it does in the attached screenshot ( https://launchpadlibrarian.net/78953743/Screenshot-Untitled%202%20-%20LibreOffice%20Math.png ):
from{<?>} to{<?>} <?>

WORKAROUND: Insert:

sum

before the:

from{<?>} to{<?>} <?>

When there's nu sum, and one clicks the 'uper and lower limits', 'upper limit' or 'lower limit' button with a sum sign, the sum itself isn't added. From the behaviour of the other buttons and the sign the button has, the expected behaviour would be that the output would be

sum from{<?>} to{<?>} <?>

instead of:

from{<?>} to{<?>} <?>

which is currently what appears when using the 'upper and lower limit' button.

Thanks Bram, I can reproduce it in Libo 3.3 rc2 SLED 11 sp1.

Not a regression against ooo 3.2.1.

The limit button is used for the integral as well. So the error is not, that no sum symbol is inserted, but that the icon shows a sum symbol.

The tooltips say that the buttons are just for limits, not the sum itself, which has its own button. One could claim the icon is wrong, since it shows the sum as well, but how is the icon otherwise supposed to represent that it is upper/lower/both limit?

Unless somebody has an idea for a better icon, there's nothing to improve here -> closing.

The attached icons show a placeholder instead of a sigma.

Making new icons would be a task for the design team.
