I'm not 100% sure why that happened. I think i still had an earlier version of the ticket open in my browser when i wrote comment #4, and maybe submitting the comment in that situation implied also setting the other fields as they happened to be in my browser, where they maybe still contained outdated values? On the other hand, i could already see your comments #2 and #3, which is kind of strange... I'm not opposed to explaining in more detail in the documentation what \(Re and \(Im are if you find the space needed to do that and if you consider that helpful - the discussion in this ticket may indicate that there is indeed some potential for misunderstandings and confusion. _______________________________________________________ Reply to this item at: _______________________________________________ Message sent via Savannah https://savannah.gnu.org/
