The preview appears to be eating the first and last dollarsigns in double dollarsigned expressions hence causing displaystyle expressions to be ignored, e.g. see here

  • $\begingroup$ sorry, I'm not following -- I don't know MathJax very well. I don't see any meaningful difference between your post, pasted in as a preview, and the final rendered post? Note that we auto-escape everything between $..$ now though, so it should be untouched. $\endgroup$

  • $\begingroup$ @Jeff: It's not as glaringly obvious now since that post has been subsequently edited. But all double-dollar displaystyled LaTeX forms are now left-justified instead of centered in the preview pane. $\endgroup$

This has been fixed. Was a consequence of some... uniqueness in javascript regular expressions.

Example: The following equation is enclosed as $$…$$ and therefore centered in the actual answer.

$$x=1.$$

But in preview it is left-justified.
