LaTeX Weirdness in Version ⁨2.1.54

[UniqueNoSpacesShort]

I’ve been using LaTeX in Anki for years. I have a note type called LaTeX configured so I can type into Anki just like into a LaTeX editor.

I recently upgraded to Anki 2.1.54 and some of my cards aren’t displaying properly. For example, I used to be able to use the “verbatim” environment like in the spoiler:

\begin{verbatim}

[f(x)=
\begin{cases}

x & x<0 \

x^2 & x\geq 0\

\end{cases}
]
\end{verbatim}

to get output like

but now as soon as I enter the \] to match the \[, Anki seems to get “confused” and weird symbols and green text start appearing like:

and the output isn’t correct, like:

Does this have something to do with “MathJax” and can I disable MathJax?

\[ \] is used to open a MathJax environment. I’m afraid there’s no way to turn it off at the moment, though that may come in the next update.
