Problems: Changing the behavior would break old documents. Changing the UI would break the visual editor because those brackets keep the sentence together. The abs priority is the same as multiplication, so sums inside of it would exit the abs the moment you type them. The most I can do is change the code inserted via the UI to { abs { <?> } }. I leave that decision up to you. The UI change is one line patch. I also find that feature a bit troubling, however blackguards compatibility is problematic. And also, log(x)^2 is equivalent to { { log } { { ( x ) } ^ 2 } } for the parser, but the problem is invisible. Math isn't right from mathematics POV, it just looks like it. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
