Yes, I can see it. The issue is that the \pi in math input mode is smaller than the \pi in latex, which makes it look unbalanced in math input mode. Probably nothing to do about that.

If you select fraction then in the top box of the fraction select matrix and choose a 2x1 matrix then you get two lines on the top of the fraction. I also chose a 1x1 matrix on the bottom so the format is the same. The only draw back is that the bottom of the fraction is not left aligned. See att
