LibreOffice rendering of sample input

In Math, digits in variable names seem to have leading and trailing "implied
separators". E.g. a variable named "r2d2" becomes "r 2 d 2" with italic letters
and plain (no character emphasis/embellishment) digits.

This may be seen as a useability improvement in many cases. To me this "second
guessing the users intent" is a regression, and typical of the reasons why I
still prefer Apache OpenOffice in many cases. 

Sample input

c3po > r2d2 
newline
7of9 neq Agent355

Attached PDFs showing how sample input is rendered in LO and OO.
