Using Moodle 2.0.2 and DragMath.
$$ \left( \begin{array}{ccc} 1 & 2 & 3 & 4 & 5\\-\left(1\right) & -\left(2\right) & -\left(3\right) & -\left(4\right) & -\left(5\right)\\ \end{array} \right) $$
When I create a matrix with more than 3 columns, only 3 columns will be displayed, with the additional column data wrapping into the next row.
Anyone else get this problem? Where do I start to fix it?
The syntax of arrays seems to be wrong - dragmath applet adds \begin{array}{ccc} which is a bug.
If the matrix has 5 columns it should start with
\begin{array}{ccccc}
and your matrix could look like
$$\left( \begin{array}{ccccc} 1 & 2 & 3 & 4 & 5\\-1 & -2 & -3 & -4 & -5\\ \end{array} \right)$$
with
\left( \begin{array}{ccccc} 1 & 2 & 3 & 4 & 5\\-1 & -2 & -3 & -4 & -5\\ \end{array} \right)
Or for example
$$ \left( \begin{array}{rrrrr} 1 & 2 & 3 & 4 & 5\\-1 & -2 & -3 & -4 & -5\\ \end{array} \right) $$
with right alignment
\left( \begin{array}{rrrrr} 1 & 2 & 3 & 4 & 5\\-1 & -2 & -3 & -4 & -5\\ \end{array} \right)
Ahh! Terrific! Thanks.
The bug report has been filled in: http://tracker.moodle.org/browse/MDL-30628
Developers of moodle can't fix this because it should be fixed in Dragmath applet.
Rick Bruderick and some anonymous user have created also an issue to DragMath bug tracker
