Did I mention that I feel a bit humilitated by your recent activities? But lucky me there are a few people out there trying to cover my backside... [Never mind, though.

Ugly, isn't it... The main problem here is that up/down in math is extremely tricky to get 'right' in the general case and I rarely like work-arounds for special cases. Of course, super/subscripts already get a lot af special interest, so work-arounds for these 'special' cases are more or less in order. Just trying to explain why it is like it is... > If anyone can think of a word which refers to subscripts and > superscripts collectively, that bug report would be much more > readable. :P In MathEd super and subscripts are handled in 'MathScriptInsets' and the term is simply 'scripts'. But that's completely ad-hoc. Andre'
