LaTeX Problems? Solutions to Formulae Cutting Off

[epenguin]

Is anyone else seeing what I'm seeing - that formulae written with LaTex are often partly cut off, to the point of becoming ambiguous or even unreadable sometimes, and can anything be done about it, either individually or at Central Office?

I'm not seeing any issues with LaTeX formulas. The usual first thing to try in such a case would be to refresh the page in your browser, and if that doesn't work, try signing out and then signing back in again.

Does (align)
\begin{align*}
0<(3-a^2)^2 &\Longrightarrow 0<36-24a^2+4a^4 \\
&\Longrightarrow -3a^4+12a^2<36-12a+a^4=(6-a^2)^2\\
& \Longrightarrow 3a^2(4-a^2) <(6-a^2)^2
\end{align*}
one of (dollars)
$$
0<(3-a^2)^2 \Longrightarrow 0<36-24a^2+4a^4 \Longrightarrow -3a^4+12a^2<36-12a+a^4=(6-a^2)^2 \Longrightarrow 3a^2(4-a^2) <(6-a^2)^2
$$
these examples reflect (sharps) $0<(3-a^2)^2 \Longrightarrow 0<36-24a^2+4a^4 \Longrightarrow -3a^4+12a^2<36-12a+a^4=(6-a^2)^2 \Longrightarrow 3a^2(4-a^2) <(6-a^2)^2$ what you meant?

Refreshing did not cure it. I signed out, then viewing a page as non-member it ws OK. I signed back in again and the defect came back. It is happening to my last post but I have seen it on others recently.

This post? Looks fine here.

Yes that's the one. I have now just noticed that that I get the right thing back when I widen the page. Something that had never presented itself till a few days ago.

I've been seeing the bottoms of integral signs cut off as well. But it may only be on my old PC at work (running Windows Vista). I'll see if it happens on my Win 10 laptop at home...

So far I don't see the problem today with my Win10 laptop and Firefox
at home. I'll check it with my older Vista PC and Firefox at work tomorrow.

Interesing. I'll try that as well. What Windows version are you using, and which Browser/version.

Fresh_42, your dollar line is cut off in the middle of the plus after the 12a; on the other hand I can slide the last part leftwards into view. Your last formula extens right out of the page, something I have never seen before, but it again I can slide it into view.

I did not mean that - I had been seeing characters and whole formulae mutilated, but it seems I have it back under control now. Thanks to you all.

I'm using an iPad with IOS14.

It seems to be (somewhat) browser related. I am using a mouse with a scroll wheel set to zoom the browser contents.

The equation in post #3 above will extend a varying length past the right edge of the text window depending on the zoom level. The text is correctly placed, but the equation doesn't wrap to fit the window.

This also occurs with (and others):

@Greg Bernhardt, any news from the MathJax developers?

Yes, that illustrates exactly the sort of thing I'm seeing.

I am wondering whether the problem on my post in question might also be caused by the rather large pictures I have there. I am not very handy with posting pictures and these are too big anyway, but I can't see to it immediately and will do so later.

Nothing. Last update was end of August. I'll send them an email.

The pictures, which are not rendered by MathJax, are as they are seen. I.e. if you download them, they are already damaged. I guess, that there is either a problem with the source, or one of the upload procedures, which ever had been used.

The pictures are screen shots I took.

It looks like the issue I'm seeing is unique to my old Vista PC at work (running Firefox):

This ones renders correctly in Safari on MacOS. Go figure!

Renders fine with Windows 10 and Firefox, too.
