Comment 1 Roan Kattouw 2010-02-12 12:54:48 UTC

First of all, this happens with the old editor as well, so it's not a bug in the new editor.

Second, it's not a bug at all: &approx; is not a valid HTML entity, you were most likely looking for &asymp;

Comment 2 Calcey QA 2010-02-12 13:11:45 UTC

we refereed http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Help:Displaying_a_formula section TeX vs HTML for the formats. &approx; is given in the syntax section

Comment 3 Roan Kattouw 2010-02-12 13:18:41 UTC

Then that document is wrong. My browser (FF 3.5.7) refuses to display &approx; as a symbol even when included in a normal HTML page.

Comment 4 Derk-Jan Hartman 2010-02-12 13:24:39 UTC

approx is the LaTeX name for the same symbol. The editor got confused I guess. I have fixed this error in the meta page.
