Minus signs not rendering
Thank you for trying, but Wikipedia has a software bug. Editors have tried several times to kludge it to no avail. This has been reported multiple times now on WP:VPT. We'll just have to wait until the administrators fix it properly.—Anita5192 (talk) 00:38, 3 January 2021 (UTC)


 * Having dug around a little bit more, I'm beginning to think the bug lies outside Wikipedia.


 * I generally browse using Chrome, and the problem is plain to see there - but it depends both on the position on the page and also on the browser zoom setting. On the Poisson Distribution page, for instance, the PMF equation in the header table, the corresponding equation in the Definitions section and the last equation before the example in the same section all sometimes appear differently.  Within the useful range of zoom settings, it is hard to find one setting where all three equations display correctly at the same time.


 * The situation in Edge is similar, if not worse. Here, not only do the minus signs disappear intermittently - but so too do the vincula in the fractions


 * By contrast, things seem to display consistently and correctly in both Firefox and Safari - which leads me to suspect that the problem actually lies in the way that Chromium handles narrow lines in .svg images. With that in mind, I'm a bit loathe to try to fix bugs in Chromium by tinkering with Wiki.  Zeusfaber (talk) 11:02, 3 January 2021 (UTC)


 * Some of this sounds familiar. I use Chrome.  I have found that increasing the Zoom by one level alleviates the problem.  And I have also found that rearranging equations sometimes fixes the problem.  Weird!—Anita5192 (talk) 17:05, 3 January 2021 (UTC)
