I can no longer render LaTeX

[PeterDonis]

latex should be fixed in message fields aka in homework help, and in quote blocks now

I'm having a somewhat different problem: whatever is going on in the editor changes my LaTeX to symbols like those from the "insert symbol" dropdown, but only after I hit "Post". It previews as LaTeX but posts as symbols. That is most emphatically not the behavior I want or expect. For one thing, LaTeX is more readable than those symbols.

I agree with @fresh_42 that whatever change happened to the editor is causing more problems than it solves.

hmm yeah latex appears to be rendering in the editor outside of preview now. fix one thing, break another...

I agree, but it was part of a core software update. Not my decision. The sync between mathjax, the editor, preview and when and when not to render is a bit of a jungle gym.

Let's see.$$F=\frac{GMm}{r^2}$$$p=\rho gd$

Renders ok in preview.

Edit: seems ok in the post and now when editing the post too.

ok this should be fixed now

Testing: $p = w \rho$.

Looks ok now, yes.
