In your first example, m, is not the unit symbol (it would be coloured blue, as in your second example, if it were). It looks like you've defined the variable m as 0.5 earlier in the worksheet.

Look for:

in the ribbon menu.

Can you share the Mathcad sheet?

Like Alan I think that somewhere in the sheet you had defined a variable with name "m" and assigned it the value 0.5.

When you type "m" after you defined a variable with this name, Prime assumes you mean your variable and applies the label "Variable". Its not a bug, its a feature 😉 If you want it to be the unit meter you would have to manually change the label of both m's to "Unit".

To manually label a variable as being a unit you may use the keyboard short Ctrl+U or the menu (Math - Styles - Labels).

As manually assigning labels is quite cumbersome its always better to avoid naming a variable the same as a predefined unit or constant, even though they can coexist due to different labels.
