Confirmed.

I might look at it during August, since the underlying code is not that new to me. If Paul (or anybody else from R Core) has not answered yet and there is not already a related bug report in the database, I'd suggest to submit a bug report.

Hi, I am not sure if this is a bug or a non-implement feature of
text-drawing functions with TeX-style expression, but hat() and some of its
equals does not get the right "bounding boxes" if they are put in sub- or
superscripts. For instance, for the expression 'b[hat(a)]' the hat() seems
to shift 'hat(a)' too much to the right of 'b'. Try the below example and
you'll see what I mean:

label <- list(
  expression((b[sqrt(a)])),
  expression((b[bar(a)])),
  expression((b[widehat(a)])),
  expression((b[widetilde(a)])),
  expression((tilde(a))),
  # Problematic:
  expression((b[dot(a)])),
  expression((b[ring(a)])),
  expression((b[hat(a)])),
  expression((b[tilde(a)])),
  expression((b^dot(a))),
  expression((b^ring(a))),
  expression((b^hat(a))),
  expression((b^tilde(a)))
)

plot(NA, xlim=c(0,2), ylim=c(-1,length(label)))
for (kk in seq(label))
  text(1,length(label)-kk, label=label[[kk]])

The problem occurs for the postscript and png devices too (I haven't tried
the others).

I'm on WindowsXP and "R version 1.9.1, 2004-06-21" (non-patched).
