            Bug ID: 142086
           Summary: FORMATTING: Wrapping text around equations
           Product: LibreOffice
           Version: 7.1.2.2 release
          Hardware: x86-64 (AMD64)
                OS: Windows (All)
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: enhancement
          Priority: medium
         Component: Writer
          Assignee: libreoffice-bugs at lists.freedesktop.org
          Reporter: dhorton668 at gmail.com

Description:
In Writer, when mixing text with equations, the wrapping options are very
limited. Ideally, I would like to have the same wrapping options with an
equation as I do with an image, but most are grayed out (unavailable.)

A specific case is an equation followed by a "where X is this and Y is that"
type of text. For equations with many variables, the "where" clause becomes
long and wraps around. But, multi-lines always end up pushed below the equation
rather than pressed up against the right side of it. (See attached screenshot.) 

It would look much nicer to have the equation wrap behave like the image wrap
or at least have the option of making it so. Is this a possible enhancement
that could be made?

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Create an equation that is tall, like Z = {X} over {Y}
2. Type some text after the equation describing the variables, like "where X is
something and Y is something else."
3. Keep typing until the text wraps around.
4. Notice how the text does not fit itself to the borders of the equation, but
rather moves below the equation and all the way to the left.
5. Right-click the equation and click Properties in an attempt to change the
wrapping.
6. Notice how all but one option is unavailable.

Actual Results:
Text will always wrap to below the equation.

Expected Results:
Text should flow as it does around an image or at least have the option to make
it flow that way.


Reproducible: Always
