Several concerns noted about VisualEditor messing with math formulas when (evidently) the user was not attempting to edit the formula at all. https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Raising_and_lowering_indices&curid=11325244&diff=563062676&oldid=560490441 https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Regression_analysis&curid=826997&diff=563265603&oldid=561802206 https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Bipartite_double_cover&curid=21241712&diff=563327691&oldid=554035797 I'm not sure if this is related to an existing bug or a different kind of thing.
The changes don't actually change the visual output. Just the way italics (used to mark variables) and superscript and subscript tags interact. So it might change ''e''<sup>''x''</sup> to ''e<sup>x</sup>'' you could say the former is better semantically. Other cases will split a complex superscript into two separate subscripts ''K''<sub>''n'',''n''</sub> into ''K<sub>n</sub>''<sub>,''n''</sub>, visually the same but worse semantically. Marking as low priority as no visible change.
This is a duplicate of bug 50291. It is a round tripping error in VisualEditor. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 50291 ***
