Multiplying fractions looks ugly
If one enters something like $$\frac{1}{4}\cdot\frac{3}{4}$$ the Prime formats it like $$\frac{\frac{1}{4}*3}{4}$$

Although this is mathematically correct this double fraction just looks ugly in my opinion (I don't even want to mention the multiplication "*").

The only way to circumvent this auto-uglyfication is to enter a space before the second fraction: $$\frac{1}{4}*\sqcup\frac{3}{4}$$

However if one copies such a "nice formatted" expression like this from the history to the input its uglyfied again :-(

So (one of) my wish to HP for the next firmware: Switch off the expression uglyfier ;-) and use a proper multiplication dot.
