I was working on my precalc writing problem and I found some buggy LaTeX. Attached are screenshots. Nothing is wrong with my code, but the rendering for triangle ABC is smaller and vertically translated. I searched Site Support but couldn't find another instance of this exact error so I figured it was worth reporting.

This is a common bug that happens. It happens with pretty much all latex and once you submit the problem, the problem doesn't exist usually.

Hmm. Yeah, I never knew why $\triangle ABC$ was smaller than $\triangle BAC$ or /triangle anything else. But I can confirm it happens to me too. Just so people know it's not just you. Edit: trying what @F1forlife said. : $\triangle{ABC}$ It works!!

Some things are squished for no apparent reason. I've seen it with other things in the past but none that I can remember.
