I'm on Ubuntu 24.04.3 LTS running LibreOffice 26.2 installed from .debs (I was previously using the snap but it had problems accessing /usr/bin/latex)

The addon works correctly in Impress when creating LaTeX outside of a text box.

However, when clicking the \pi button from inside of a textbox (i.e., the cursor is editing a textbox), there is a crash "BASIC runtime error: Property or method not found: getAccessibleContext()" (see attached screenshot)

I have been able to reproduce this from a new, blank, Impress document.

Let me know if there's any other information that'd be useful to provide, and thanks again for the amazing addon!

    Yes, I reproduced the issue. In previous versions of LibreOffice, I used a trick to detect if the cursor is within a text box in Impress. That trick does not work anymore in LO 26.2 because the developers have changed the API...

      I filled a bug report to LibreOffice team: https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=170929
      Please add a comment to ask solving the issue.
