# Sometimes notation gets auto-converted from traditional to raw input and won't convert back [closed]

For example, I'm typing this:

When upon hitting the last character it gets converted to:

And trying to Convert To TraditionalForm has no effect. This glitch has happened a few times and on different characters each time. Is there a reason for this happening?

EDIT - By request from Mr. Wizard, here is the Cell Expression (and what was displayed) of the cell to which this just happened.

What was displayed:

Subscript[
Overscript[u, .],
t] = \[DifferentialD]Subscript[u, t]/\[DifferentialD]t\[InvisibleComma],
where Subscript[u, \[Placeholder]]


Cell Expression:

Are you able to reproduce the error? If you can, please select the cell (with the cell brackets at the right), right-click, and choose Copy As > Cell Expression, then paste the result into your question. Also, which version and platform are you using? – Mr.Wizard Oct 11 '12 at 16:15
Thanks for the reply. When it happens again, I'll paste the result. I'm using Mathematica 8.0 on Windows 7. – Mirov Oct 11 '12 at 16:22
+1 It has happened to me too and never bothered to check or try to reproduce it so as to investigate. I just assumed I accidentaly pressed some wrong hotkeys or something. Hasn't happened often lately – Rojo Oct 12 '12 at 4:52
