I have encountered exactly the problem described above (and shown in the above screenshot) with Internet Explorer Version 7.0.5730.11 on Windows XP Pro. The "pushed to right" comment box can appear both when first composing the reply as well as when previewing the reply. Text near the end of the line gets hidden behind the right-side text block that displays Recent blog posts and Active forum topics. Appears that something is wrong with your page layout. Note that the width of the pushed-to-the-right edit box depends on the width of the browser window you are using. The text always overflows under the right-side text block when the line length reaches that point. If the line is short enough that it never reaches the right-side text block, then there is no hidden overflow. Very very annoying. It has been TEN MONTHS since since the problem was first identified in this thread. When will it be fixed?
Paulina, Thanks for the interface setting workaround (I had previously tried it with Inert Form but not Atomic Identifier). Based on Maple help (Convert To, type/atomic), I am not sure if this name problem should be solved with "Inert Form". I would expect it to be solved with "Atomic Identifier". Indeed the "type" function indicates the final symbol is of type 'atomic'. One observation: I find that as soon as I use the third entry in the Layout Palette (subliteral), the symbol is automatically created as an "Atomic Identifier" yet the problem still exists. After hitting "Enter" to bring up the error message, I "convert" to "Atomic Identifier" and the symbol works as desired from that point on. However, if I create the entire symbol starting with the second entry in the Layout Palette (A[i]), then convert to Atomic Identifier as the last step before hitting "Enter", things work smoothly without generating an error message.
