<pre>When writing this:
abs{ z } ^ 2
It is shown as:
| z² |
However, that is of course not what I wrote. It should be shown as:
|z|²
(also happens with other numbers/variables, not only 2. Just sued for
demonstration purposes here.)
A workaround is to write:
{abs{ z }} ^ 2
But IMHO this is not intended. If I want to have the power inside of the
absolute number, I'd write it like that:
abs{ z ^ 2 }
And if you say it makes no difference mathematically, you are wrong. For real
numbers, maybe, but not for complex ones e.g., where the "absolute number" has
a different definition.
On Fedora 27 with v5.4.6.2-3.fc27 here.</pre>
