So it is not related to the patch. Enrico and Jürgen, thanks for your testing. Summary: The patch fixes the C-M text->math conversion for all tested cases of _valid_ math formulas, with or without delimiters. It has the following drawbacks: 1) It creates a warning on the console if a formula without delimiters is converted. 2) It produces invalid results for things that are not really _one_ formula, e.g. the mentioned $a$ foo $b$. 1) is not the case currently in 1.4, but is IMHO a good trade-off wrt the currently not working \text{test} conversion. 2) is a regression wrt. 1.3, but IMHO not important because this kind of pseudo formulas has never been officially supported. This is IMHO enough data now to make a decision. I'd say that the patch can go in, because the advantages clearly outweigh the disadvantages. Lars, what is your opinion? Georg
