Bug in (8151) - jkramer - 02-18-2016 12:06 AM
Bad bug in copy/paste in the CAS wherein square roots can become mangled.
RE: Bug in (8151) - Tim Wessman - 02-18-2016 05:10 AM
I'm not able to duplicate it from typing in the lines I can see. Could you please post the complete equation you put into solve( ) in the first step?
Thanks!

I am no longer able to replicate it either, and I no longer have the original input, sorry.

This is likely due to NTHROOT being used instead of square root. In 8151, the parens around the 1/20 are not maintained during the copy. This is corrected in 10077.
Enter: 2 NTHROOT (1/20)
Then select the answer and press COPY.
In algebraic entry mode, you'll be able to see the different copy behaviors.
