            Bug ID: 127948
           Summary: Equations cannot be easily resized in Libreoffice
                    Impress.
           Product: LibreOffice
           Version: 6.1.2.1 release
          Hardware: All
                OS: Linux (All)
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: medium
         Component: Impress
          Assignee: libreoffice-bugs at lists.freedesktop.org
          Reporter: schymans at gmail.com

Description:
As reported before
(https://ask.libreoffice.org/en/question/20443/set-font-size-of-impress-equations-out-of-equation-editor/),
formulas generated in equation editor cannot be easily resized. The size is
automatically protected. That report was closed as "not relevant or outdated",
apparently based on following claim: 
"In LO version 4.2 you can enlarge the formula same as all other drawing
objects. It does only resizes the visual appearance of the formula but not it
internal font size.

In older versions you need to use the Position&Size dialog. Uncheck size
protection and set the desired size immediately inside the dialog. Closing the
dialog will enable size protection automatically in versions before 4.2."

Here I am with LO version 6.1.2.1 and the size protection is still
automatically enabled. Very annoying!

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Create equation
2. Try to resize by dragging one of the corners
3. Open Position and Size dialog, uncheck "Size protected"
4. Try to resize by dragging one of the corners again.

Actual Results:
Size is protected, cannot be adjusted by dragging corners.

Expected Results:
I should be able to resize the formula by dragging, especially after
unprotecting size. It should not even be protected in the first place.


Reproducible: Always


User Profile Reset: No
