Indeed. That's "math text mode" nowadays unless you specifally converted "$6x3$" which should give the 1.2.1 result. Note that you can convert "math text mode" to "real math mode" by 'M-m t i' or selecting Edit->Math->ChangeFormulaType->inline at any time. > OK, select the text within mathed and hit ctrl-m again.

At least it's italic this time =) Yes, this way you've created a "real math mode box" in a "math text mode box". > So you have to retype it into a fresh mathed box as far as I can tell. You haven't. Either start with the proper mode by wrapping the stuff to be converted in $...$ or mutate the formula afterwards by M-m t i.
