Hi Kostas,
In principle, support for brackets with explicit sizes did not change
as far as I am aware of; otherwise, this is a bug. For the moment,
I do not recommend or discourage the use of this feature.
In the future, I plan to fully support MathML-style brackets,
and the interface should evolve in that direction.
Best wishes, --Joris
