Description Luigi Boccia 2011-09-24 15:36:42 UTC 
Problem description: 
Strange error, tested on different installations of 3.4.3
Combination of subscript and superscript. Try to test the two expressions. In the second case, the one ending with "+", an error will appear. Why?


Steps to reproduce:
a. V_i^b --> correct output
b. V_i^+ --> wrong formatting

Current behaviour:
b. A Question mark appear erroneously.

Expected behavior:
Only the superscript + shour appear, without question mark.

This error is important in all RF microwave applications.
Comment 1 Alastair Rae 2011-09-29 02:40:03 UTC 
Work around is to put plus in quotes. All these render correctly:
V_i sup "+"
V_i sup b
V_i^b
V_i^"+"
V sub i sup b
V sub i sup "+"

@Alastair Rae: it is not a workaround but the correct syntax. + is a binary operator then it waits for something on its right side.
Comment 3 Luigi Boccia 2012-01-24 09:12:08 UTC 
Nice to know that this is a standard procedure. However, it is not 
mentioned in the documentation.

Thanks for your help.
