Hi,<div><br></div><div>bug 769 (<a href="http://tracker.luatex.org/view.php?id=769">http://tracker.luatex.org/view.php?id=769</a>) was just closed, unfortunately the problem persists with the plain format. To give a bit more detail, compiling the document</div>
<div><br></div><div><div>$\displaystyle\sqrt{\sum_{i=0}^n}$</div><div>\bye</div></div><div><br></div><div>with a LuaTeX from an up-to-date TeX Live 2012, using the "luatex" command without any options, results in the black box mentioned in the bug. Maybe this is a format problem instead of an engine problem, but then the plain format that TeX Live's luatex loads by default is buggy. The complete output of the document is:</div>
