The example, (image), is represented using two different formats for the derivative. When the integral is evaluated, different results are obtained, but only the derivative's format has changed. Why is the result different?

zero is wrong. It's a very simple integration.

Why is the integration result different with a change in format?

With the derivative represented in "tick" format, vs, "diff(expr,var)," the result differs.
Perhaps an my own entry error? Perhaps my misunderstanding? Perhaps not completely tested? Perhaps a bug?.... etc.
I guess it's a bug with the definite integral. The indefinite one works with the quote symbol, even when evaluated at the limits.
I suspect the ' is being handled (or not handled) in this case with the definite evaluator. Maybe Bernard can shed some light?
