Error rendering LaTeX equations in some scenarios

Bug Reports

Sometimes, latex equations in Notes mode that are wrapped in brackets cannot be rendered properly (and shows this red text)

If I removed the brackets, it renders properly

I am able to reproduce the issue with a minimal example.

If the latex equation is wrapped in a bracket “( or )” and the latex equation contains macros (e.g. \text{} or \frac{}{}), then it fails to render.

Here are some examples:

    Hi Hadrian, I reproduced the red equation errors using your examples and released a web fix. Equations inside parentheses now render without treating the surrounding text as part of the formula. Please reload Memo and check your existing notes.

    Your separate “Error updating post” screenshot is still unverified. Does that error still appear when you edit this feedback post? If it does, please send your browser and the approximate time through Memo’s support chat.

    Thanks!

    asd $\text{a}$ asd

    ($x² \frac{1}{2} x²$)

    some $\text{a}$ some```

    Here is the raw code for the example
