Vectors not rendering properly

[Orodruin]

I have noticed for quite some time that vector arrows specified using the TeX command \vec result in a much larger white space after the symbol than it should, eg, $\vec v_i \cdot \vec w$. It is a bit bad for readability and looks quite ugly. Can this be fixed?

Looks fine to me. Here's a screen grab of what you wrote:

So it is browser based. I get this

in Safari, both on my Mac OS 10.11.6 (Safari 9.1.2) and on IOS 10.0.2.

Edit: Looks fine in Chrome 53.0.2785.116.

Edit II: Of course, I can solve this by using Chrome on PF, but I do not think may people will use something different from Safari to browse PF on their iPhones ...

Indeed. I get the same problem as you do in Safari.

I can confirm this as well. Renders fine in Firefox (two different computers), but with the same spacing problem in Safari/602.1 (mobile).

I'll send to the devs, thanks!

They need a Safari and OSX version

By Mac OS 10.11.6 I mean OSX 10.11.6. I don't know how to get the Safari version on the iOS, but I suspect it is updated along with iOS.

 

[Orodruin]

Apparently Mobile Safari 10.

I'm on my iPad now, and I see that I get the same problem in Firefox 5.3 (iOS 10.0.2). Note the bug is not present in Firefox on Mac OS X 10 (as mentioned above).

Thanks, I'm going to put this into Feedback so they can see the example.

iOS 10.0.2 / Safari 602.1

I don't know how to get the Safari version on the iOS

http://www.whoishostingthis.com/tools/user-agent/ or various other websites show the user agent (unless you blocked it).

Hi,

This issue should be fixed in the upcoming MathJax v2.7 release (we're just wrapping up the public beta run).

You can try it out by pasting your TeX source on e.g., http://beta.mathjax.org/mathjax/latest/test/sample-dynamic-2.html.

Regards,
Peter from the MathJax team.

Looks good there. Thanks for the quick feedback.

Thanks for taking the time to take a look, @mfb!

MathJax 2.7 is out. Might take a day to refresh the cache.
