Apache OpenOffice (AOO) Bugzilla – Issue 78813
"," after indices should not belong to index

when i write "x_1, x_2, dotslow, x_n" i mean "," must be between x'es, but it goes to lower index so i need to write "x_1 , x_2 , dotslow , x_n" that is extreemly uncomfortable
That has to be written in this way since old StarOffice 5. Therefore I think, that it is no defect, but a valid enhancement request.
Star office -- may be, but it is open office? not the star one :) Actualy i see why it is so -- because sombody wants to write x_i,j except x_{i, j} so may be it is useful to make two different situation -- when " " symbol goes after "," or when it goes not. In second situation it goes to lower index and in first it goes not. It will be not strong logicaly but, i think, wery ergonomical.
I assume this is a defect. If you write something like x_n? the question mark is interpreted correctly. The comma or punctuation mark should also be recognized like other marks.
Hm strange, I though this is regression in OO3 as I had practically everywhere x_1,x_2 and after I've installed OO3 I had to redo all my formulas... But anyway I agree that this is a bug: 1. ',' seems to be the ONLY letter which recognized as a part of index and this is really strange, I see no logic after this behavior. 2. this is not how TeX works so this makes OO less comfortable for TeX users. Please fix this.
