Version: 1.6,0 beta 1 (using KDE KDE 3.5.2) OS: Linux In the KFormula handbook: When you type a backslash (\) you get a new empty list right away. ... Inside the blue square do: \ , SPACE to get a small space. Typing a backslash does put a new blue box in the formula. In the box I typed \ , SPACE The box decreased in size, but the , stayed where it was. I tried several names: delta, oint, quad ... All that apears in the formula are the words "delta" "oint" "quad" ... I could only enter symbols by choosing them in the Symbols list and clicking on the "Enter" button. However... in the Dutch version even this didn't work. The latex-xft-fonts are installed. All fonts are installed system wide. I checked in the Font Installer, administrator mode, the fonts are in the list in the original version and in the Dutch version. screenie kformula2.png: Symbol list in Dutch version screenie kformula3.png: Symbol list in original version

This issue was also reported for kformula 1.6.1-0ubuntu3 on Kubuntu, see https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/koffice/+bug/83297
This bug appeared when I updated koffice to 1.6.2 on Kubuntu. The previous version of koffice doesn't have this issue. I think it should get more notice since it pretty much means kformula is unusable.
