:::::::::: 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.
::::::::::: Er, no. If I saw that ''any'' of my changes toggled (or caused) the wrong/incorrect rendering (or as you say, invisibility), I wouldn't have done the changes in the first place. None of my changes (edits) caused incorrect rendering on the browsers that I use. -- [[User:Gerard Schildberger|Gerard Schildberger]] ([[User talk:Gerard Schildberger|talk]]) 19:31, 16 September 2016 (UTC)
:::::::::: Introducing the the HTML entity ''' ''' 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)
::::::::::: Another solution ... visibility is always restored by using FireFox (and/or other browsers including Microsoft Internet Explorer). I'm not suggesting that's the way to go, but I'd rather use a browser that works consistently than to one that mostly works, and then starts to fail (in a somewhat "quiet"/non-visible way). I don't have a dog in the browser fights, I generally stick to what I know works, even though there must be varied advantages (and varied shortcomings) for each browser. I have no idea which version of Chrome and/or Safari (or something else) you're using, what operating system is being used, 32-bit vs. 64-bit version, etc. I read that Chrome 19 fixed some of these problems. -- [[User:Gerard Schildberger|Gerard Schildberger]] ([[User talk:Gerard Schildberger|talk]]) 19:31, 16 September 2016 (UTC)
