The bug, in my opinion, is that the "2" is slightly above of "^", and
"3" is slightly below of "_".  In particular the subscript is more
problematic because it looks like it's written "-3" (ok, in my example
there are braces, ideally remove them).  My suggestion is just to put
"^" and "_" at the same level as the scripts (as I think it was
before, at least it looks like this).

Bye,
Mosè
