I am using ChatGPT 4o with Canvas.  
Helping create a Power app and flow.  
Asked for detailed steps / instructions.

When it mentions formulas and to refer to them, the formulas are not showing in the Canvas.  
When I tell it, they are not showing it ensures me they are.

I then did a test and using the copy button, posted from Canvas into notepad and the formulas are then showing in notepad, but not canvas.

When I mentioned this to ChatGPT, it then tried to update the formatting, but comes up with “failed to edit” and says it will try another way but fails…

Hi, as for now I have to report the same bug. Mathematical formulas are still not being displayed in the canvas. I hope the developers pick this up soon and fix it - that would be greatly appreciated!
