#25 Equation created in Writer cannot be edited in Impress&Draw

[Orlando Tian]

Hello, thank you so much for your excellent contribution to LibreOffice!
I have met with this problem and hope you can provide some help:
When an equation created in Writer is copied into Impress or Draw, it cannot be edited with the following error message:

The selected object is not a TexMaths equation...
Please unselect it and call the macro again...

Reversely, when an equation created in Impress or Draw is copied into Writer, it can be edited normally.

I've just installed TexMaths with LibreOffice also and (believe) noticed the same issue.
(It appears) The LibreMath integration is better and hopefully TexMath will mimics the features some time in the future.

In the mean time one work around is to copy the "LaTex code" before committing (using the [Latex] button)....
then one committed, "Right Click" on the image of the equation, select "Description" and save the "LaTex Code" into either the "Title" or "Description" field. Next time you need to edit the formular, you have the original "LaTex Code" stashed away as text, and can cut and pasted back into TexMath proper for reworking.

Note: I'm new to TexMath... so maybe there is a better way... if so, do give me a hint here.

Cheers

My previous comment does not apply to this bug report because:
1. It is a different issue.
2. Touching, then clicking on the [π] button allows me to edit the LaTeX formular.

With knowledge comes power.... ;-)
