    Any progress on the above issue on vertical alignment of mathematical equations? This is a very serious problem for people who use mathematical equations extensively in their documents, like me, and OpenOffice.org is going to fix this issue in 3.4–YES, the patch already exists. This one is THE ONLY blocker for me to use LibreOffice.

    @TM: Technically, it should be no problem for 3.4 as they only have to merge the already existing program file from the OOdev lines. They included it in dev300mxx? I don’t know the exact number.

      @YesBaby The patch is included OO.o DEV300m102. I’m looking forward to seeing this painful issue fixed in LibO soon!

    Very happy with the frequent updates to LibreOffice — very happy with the product overall, so far! Noticeably faster than OpenOffice.org.

    Import of Gnuplot SVG is broken in 3.3.1. It imports other SVG OK but not handling Gnuplot SVG is real problem. Inkscape and other programs are able to import/display Gnuplot SVG.
    Hopefully that is something that can be fixed soon.
