Curly brackets not rendered when using .latex('\\{') in combination with fade-in
sjcjoosten opened this issue · comments
When I run:
mq.latex('\\left\\{1,\\right\\}');
I expect to see {1,}.
The LaTeX, spacing and characters all seem to be there, but the { and } seem transparent or hidden. The 1, is shown.
Hi @sjcjoosten,
I tried reproducing this and I'm not seeing the described behavior, can you send a repro video or more details?

Sorry for not testing this in isolation. I figured out what the problem was, running these two examples from the console on the MQ homepage:
d = document.createElement('div');mf=MQ.MathField(d,{handlers:{enter:()=>{}}});$('#example').append(d);d.style='display:none';$(d).fadeIn(200);mf.latex('\\left\\{1,\\right\\}');
d = document.createElement('div');mf=MQ.MathField(d,{handlers:{enter:()=>{}}});$('#example').append(d);d.style='display:none';mf.latex('\\left\\{1,\\right\\}');$(d).fadeIn(200);First of these works like a charm, the second has the exact same issue I'm facing. This immediately gives me a work-around (i.e. do the first thing and not the second), so this is no longer an issue for me, but it could still be considered a bug as I was expecting the two examples to have the same behavior (I'll leave it up to MQ to decide if this is a bug or just something to be aware of).
Oh in that case I have good news. There is a branch that we are finishing reviewing with changes made by the Desmos team on their fork. One of the changes was a performance improvement to how "strechy symbols" like curly braces, parenthesis, etc. are scaled and displayed. Their approach looks to have fixed this behavior after a quick test on top of their branch.
The mathquill PR for merging this in:
#947
Original PR on the desmos fork that introduced the feature:
desmosinc#107
Will be fixed by #947
Many thanks!
