:::::::::::::::: Every single Rosetta user is being served ill-formed tags for the graphic file version of formulae in tasks where you have made the spacing edit, and wherever else the '''MediaWiki 1.26.2''' processor (HTML code generator) is choking on any other unexpected input of this kind.
:::::::::::::::: The only variation between users is that some are using browsers which happen not to need that graphic file, because they have full support for rendering the MathML version directly. Unfortunately full MathML support is only at about 25% http://caniuse.com/#feat=mathml most browsers depend on the graphic file route, which is blocked as soon as that semi-colon is lost. (One of the reasons for limited adoption of MathML by browser producers seems to be a dependence on the installation of requisite fonts).
::::::::::::::::: That would explain why my browser doesn't show some of the more eclectic fonts used on Rosetta Code, such as the Unicode chess pieces glyphs (and among other glyphs). I always wondered why other Rosetta Code users could see those glyphs rendered, but my browsers didn't, even though, at the time, it was the latest (Beta) version. -- [[User:Gerard Schildberger|Gerard Schildberger]] ([[User talk:Gerard Schildberger|talk]]) 19:39, 17 September 2016 (UTC)
:::::::::::::::: It was understandably not obvious to you that you were leaving a trail of invisible formulae behind you - you are clearly using one of the browsers which do not need the graphic file because they are rendering from the MathML.
::::::::::::::::: Yuppers, you're the first person to acknowledge that I didn't have the other tools installed (failing browsers) to view the problem (of "invisibility"), all I viewed (via my two browsers) was what I was expecting and observing: the correct rendering(s) of <big><nowiki> <math> ∙∙∙ </math> </nowiki></big> text. -- [[User:Gerard Schildberger|Gerard Schildberger]] ([[User talk:Gerard Schildberger|talk]]) 19:39, 17 September 2016 (UTC)
