Well, you can do whatever you like with the .tex example, trow it away for all I care.</pre>

I'm just trying to tell you, as a friend, that that
"\left(\frac{1}{a}\right)" and "\left(\frac{a}{1}\right)" are rendered
with brackets of different size, while the brackets of
"\left(\frac{1}{2}\right" and "\left(\frac{2}{1}\right)" are rendered
with brackets of the same size.
That's all :)

And I, and everyone else who has tried to help you, have responded
"So what ? Why should they not be ?". TeX does not do what you
want it to do, any more than does any other programing language, it
does what you tell it to do. And if you tell to stack a little
thing over a big thing you will get one size of delimiter, and if
you tell it to stack a big thing over a big thing, you will get a
different size of delimiter. Why would you expect otherwise,
especially in view of the fact that you (in your own words) "have
quite some experience with .tex files" ?<br>
