#186 Broken Left Arrow in tikzcd Diagrams

[John Jack]

The following pieces of code:

\begin{tikzcd}
    A \arrow[rd] & A \arrow[l]
\end{tikzcd}

\begin{tikzcd}
    N & A
    \arrow[from=1-2, to=1-1]
\end{tikzcd}

do not render the left arrow as it should.
Expected behaviour:

Actual behaviour:

[John Jack]

Corrigendum:
The first bit of code should be

\begin{tikzcd}
    N & A \arrow[l]
\end{tikzcd}

Additional info:
LibreOffice Version: 24.2.4.2 (X86_64)
Operating System: Windows 10 (64-bit)
LaTeX Distro: MiKTeX 24.4

Hi, I tested both examples in Ubuntu 22.04.4 (texlive 2021.20220204-1) with LibreOffice 24.2.4.2 and TexMaths 0.52.1.

Equations rendering is as expected (your first drawing).

So perhaps it is an issue with your LaTeX compiler in Windows?

\begin{tikzcd}
    N & A
    \arrow[from=1-2, to=1-1]
\end{tikzcd}

and

\begin{tikzcd}
    N & A \arrow[l]
\end{tikzcd}

with LaTeX preamble:

\usepackage{amsmath}
\usepackage{tikz-cd}

Hi Roland,
Thank you for your quick reply.
Strangely, on TeXstudio the diagram is displayed correctly; the problem only seems to arise while using TexMaths...

What is even stranger is that

\begin{tikzcd}
    N \arrow[leftarrow]{r} & A
\end{tikzcd}

works as expected.

I will try to look more into this, thanks for your feedback.

EDIT: I tried the same procedure in Ubuntu 22.04, using TeX Live 2022 and LibreOffice 24.2.4.2 with TexMaths 0.52, and I ran into the same exact rendering issue...

[John Jack]

UPDATE: It appears LibreOffice does not detect version 0.52.1 of TexMaths when trying to update it from the Extensions tab, so I thought version 0.52 was the latest when in fact it is not...
I now installed the new version manually, and everything works like a charm!
Thank you again for your kind help (and for maintaining this very usefool addon in the first place)!

[Roland Baudin]

In fact, version 0.52.1 has not been officially released yet, because there are some issues with it in recent versions of LibreOffice. I was waiting for fixes from the LO team, but its'not ready.

However, I'm a bit surprised: where did you get the 0.52.1 version?

[John Jack]

I imagined it wasn't an official release, in fact I only found out about it while reading Bug #180 (which was very similar to this), in which you posted the experimental version.

Would you recommend me switching back to the stable release?

[Roland Baudin]

Oh yes, you did it right.
I've released this new version today.
