Okay, I understand. "Unintended behaviour" instead of "bug" ;-) but
behaviour that I can accept, especially as the easy solution is to
simply enclose the equation in a latex block:
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
* equation with leading minus sign
The following equation
#+begin_latex
\begin{equation}
\label{eq:test}
y = 3 x
- 5
+ 4
\end{equation}
#+end_latex
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---
This works just fine and is probably for the best in any case. Using a
latex block allows for latex specific editing (C-c '). Should have done
this in the first place!
Sorry for the noise!
Thanks,
eric
