| Dec 22, 2016 at 15:37 | comment | added | halirutan | @Adobe Look at this simple example. Especially, pay attention to the error message. Do you truly believe, a newbie would know what he did wrong? The same happens with With and Block. So basically, you cannot use those variables in some local context. | |
| Dec 22, 2016 at 14:01 | comment | added | Adobe | What's wrong with assigning value to a Subscript? I don't seem to run into unexpected behavior with it. Can you please give an example where assigning to Subscript gives wrong results? Maybe it is a performance disaster? | |
| Dec 15, 2016 at 11:50 | comment | added | halirutan | Because I assumed that Subscript is automatically transformed to its box-form. You need to input the subscript with Ctrl+_. Otherwise, it doesn't work. But it must have worked at some point, because I wouldn't have put it in a post without testing. This is really odd. | |
