→Formulae now invisible on standard OS X browsers
(Reverting the spacing edits always restores visibility, usually, but not always, only the flanking spaces need to be reverted) |

Line 27:
:::::::::: It does. Visibility is restored in most cases by simply deleting the flanking spaces which you introduced, but in other cases this does not prove sufficient. It does, however, prove sufficient to revert the context of the Math tags to the state they were in before you undertook the edits. I don't know how many other tasks are affected – I just noticed the same problem with Binomial Coefficients, but it's certainly possible that a trail of formulae have been losing their visibility to some users for over a year now. I have been aware of the patchy visibility, and had a sense that invisibility was a growing problem, but I hadn't previously taken the time to pin it down.

:::::::::: You should be able to identify what other elements of your edits are toggling formula visibility by a process of elimination.
:::::::::: Introducing the the HTML element nbsp seems like one candidate that might be worth checking. The broader picture is, however clear - visibility is always restored by reverting your spacing edits en masse, and is usually, but not always, restored by only reverting the flanking spaces in math tags. Experiment is the only source of knowledge, and even then Nature reveals her secrets reluctantly :-) [[User:Hout|Hout]] ([[User talk:Hout|talk]]) 18:43, 16 September 2016 (UTC)
