Description Nicolas Brisset 2006-02-01 16:57:02 UTC
Version:           1.2.0_devel (using KDE 3.4.0, compiled sources)
Compiler:          gcc version 3.4.3
OS:                SunOS (sun4u) release 5.8

Create a label anywhere, and enter the following text:
\sqrt{1-e^2}

The upper horizontal part of the square root symbol is not shown. It should be :-)

Using OpenOffice Math I get the same result as kst gives. This may not be elegant as providing the horizontal bar, but is at least consistent.
Comment 2 Andrew Walker 2006-05-17 02:17:26 UTC
This is expected behaviour.
Comment 3 Netterfield 2006-05-17 02:23:43 UTC
This may be low priority, but the current behavior is not desired.
Comment 4 Andrew Walker 2006-05-17 03:05:43 UTC
What is expected? Are you looking for a vertical bar across all the elements inside the { } or just a short horizontal bar that stops short of the first element inside the { }?

I plan to add full support for the graphical representation to the renderer 
one day.  It's not worth the effort right now, and especially not worth any 
possible performance loss in rendering labels if it's not done in an optimal 
manner.
Comment 6 Andrew Walker 2007-05-05 01:30:33 UTC
So would it be fair to mark this bug as LATER?
Comment 7 Andrew Walker 2007-05-05 02:00:49 UTC
Will be fixed when graphical representation is added.
