AI Thread Summary
A user reported a recurring issue with new software where editing a previous post leads to the loss of LaTeX formatting when another user replies to the thread. The problem occurs even after saving the post, as the LaTeX tags are removed, despite the equations rendering correctly in the editor before saving. Other participants confirmed similar experiences, noting that the issue seems consistent rather than intermittent. The discussion suggests that this problem needs further investigation to find a solution, as it disrupts the editing process and affects the integrity of mathematical content in posts.

Hello,
I've encountered a problem with the new software in that if I am editing a previous post when someone else replies to a thread, any Latex that I have in that post winds up getting garbled and the Latex removed. This has happened to me perhaps as often as half a dozen times or more. Does anyone else have this problem?
@Greg Bernhardt Maybe there is a simple fix for this...

The test was successful. You wiped out my Latex. @Greg Bernhardt I wish it wasn't, but hopefully there is an easy fix...

Did you resave the post or did that update automatically?
 
It updated right away.

Why aren't we seeing all latex get wiped out after a new reply?
 
Let's try again: C2=A2+B2C2=A2+B2.

Before I saved it, it converted it to the correct equations, but no more latex was present..

So you're in your editor? It removes the equation tags?

Yes. Why don't you write some Latex and edit it, and I will reply...

I didn't even reply=I just clicked on the notification

yeah there is something goofy going on, it ends up rendering in the editor which is weird and then on save, it wipes the tags, i'll look into this

This one looks like it might need a little work. At least it is consistent, and not intermittent...
