Question: Can't assume on a variable

I get quite an annoying "bug" that messes up all the presentation aspect of my document.

I want to assume some variable is real so that calculation are simplified at several parts of the document.

 

But I get this:

 

Whener I use U__LL I always end up with this ugly form that would make anybody think U__LL is multiplied by itself.

How do I get around this?
