--- Comment #1 from V Stuart Foote <[email protected]> ---
Technically this is not a bug, rather an enhancement.

As with bug 32362 for scaling or stretching of vertical bracketing, sm formula
"nodes" are calculated in width and size for the formula, and then currently a
*single* glyph is stretched to fit. 

For Starmath's vec/widevec the glyph is U+20D7 "COMBINING RIGHT ARROW ABOVE"

We added support for a single glyph harpoon for bug 120047, 
harpoon/wideharpoon using U+20D1 "COMBINING RIGHT HARPOON ABOVE"

However to do better stretching, the need is to compose sm "nodes" with
multi-glyph strings. For the wideharpoon and the widevec that might be using
the arrow heads with the U+23AF unicode. And maybe similar with U+23D0 for
vertical arrows. While using the the 2 and 3 glyph brackets sets-- TOP, BOTTOM
/ LEFT, RIGHT and the EXTENSION (HORIZONTAL, VERTICAL) as for bug 32362. 

Of course few of these Unicode points are defined in our OpenSymbol font set so
the appropriate gylyphs would need to be added once the Starmath module logic
is refactored to support multi-glyph brackets and arrows.
