We're tracking the typesetting problem here: http://trac.sagemath.org/sage_trac/ticket/6211 I just added your example to the ticket. > > > Finally, regarding this code: > > > -------------------- > > > var('X kappa') > > > X=sqrt(kappa) > > > F=exp(X) > > > show(F/F) > > > ------------- > > > On v3.2 on my machine the answer is shown as "1", but the > > > sagenb.org server tells me it's > > > e^{2*sqrt(kappa)} as though it were showing F*F.

Perhamps there's some semantic nuance I'm unaware of? This is a serious bug in the new code we added for simplifying expressions involving exp's. I made a new ticket for this, http://trac.sagemath.org/sage_trac/ticket/6256 It's a blocker for 4.0.2. I hope I can get to it before the release this weekend. Many thanks for reporting these.
