bzimport set Reference to bz60728.

The title change seems to have repurposed this bug. The original title
VisualEditor: Math formulas don't display correctly after save (until page is reloaded) was a dupe of bug 36060 a dependant of bug 51565.

The current title does not describe current behaviour:

With VisualEditor formulae editing beta feature OFF. Formula are displayed as PNG's and can't be edited.

With VisualEditor formulae editing beta feature ON. Formula are initially displayed as PNG's they can be edited. As soon as they are edited they switch to MathJax display but with very garbled output due to Bug 61497.

MathJax is no longer supported. See T99369

Sure, but the non-MathJax rendering options are also ignored.

Jdforrester-WMF renamed this task from VisualEditor: Edited formulae display as raw LaTeX inside VisualEditor if user has MathJax switched on to VisualEditor should display formulae using the user's preferred method, not just the default PNG one.Sep 17 2015, 4:23 PM

At least this should be forward compatible and support the MathML rendering mode... maybe it's not optimal to classify this as "Low" priority.

This is a Parsoid/RESTBase issue. For caching purposes they don't serve different content based on user preferences.
