OF COURSE! Thanks for telling me. I would have thought that I had enough Sage-experience to figure that out myself by now, but oh well... So now I have hacked together a patch that works as I will it, both in the shell and notebook. I think it is a bug that the latex representation currently ignores the repr-value of the finite field. What do you other say? And as long as we're on the subject, should we change the behaviour so that when repr='log', what is output (both with _repr_ and _latex_) is "<generator>^<exponent>" instead of just "<exponent>" as it is now? Lastly, is it by general consensus that the default representation is the polynomial representation, or could one consider to change the default representation to be exponent of the generator? That is, change default from repr="poly" to repr="log"? Log representation seems to me to be much more useful and gives better overview for humans that read it, as well as being much more condensed when outputting e.g. polynomials or matrices.
