Hey I have ran into a problem, where I wrote formulas in the writer and whenever I try exporting it only the text shows, the formulas are “invisible”. Now I discovered that they appear invisible because the text is white. When I put a black background to the formula they do appear on pdf.Changing the background of the page to white also worked. But this is a not satisfactory solution. I am wondering if anyone knows how to fix this.
Im gonna list over things I tried but didn’t work:
-tried restarting in Safe mode
-tried change the font to New Times Roman
-tried changing window’s theme from dark to white

This looks like you have applied some direct formatting on your text to cope with your (assumed?) dark theme. Attach a 1-page sample so that we can see what you changed. By default, unaltered built-in styles use Automatic text colour (i.e text appears black on light background or white on dark background). If you forced a colour, you disabled automatic behaviour.

After proceeding with menu Tools | Update | Update All the contents of the inizially blank formula objects display and the export to pdf file is successful.
I have no clue why this behaviour is existing.
If I may risk a hypothesis: the document contains images as a fallback in case the formulas cannot be interpreted by Writer. These images may be wrong. Update All forces re-interpratation of the formulas and re-build of the images.
Note also that double-clicking on a formula and returning immediately to Writer causes Math to recreate the image.
Apart from that, it is pure speculation.
