The patch makes it so that u=x^2 works, where it didn't before (it gave you that weird string). What changes is that typing u='x^2' now literally puts 'x^2' (with the quote marks) in the input box, whereas before the patch, only x^2 (without quote marks) would show up in the input box. In short, the patch fixes your original complaint. However, it changes how strings are handled when specified as default values.
