irregular factoring for 2nd degree polynomials
Brought to you by:

I have experienced problems factoring 2nd degree
polynomials that should factor.
Examples: If I expand (3+x)*(4+x), (5+x)*(6+x), or(7+x)*
(8+x), they will not factorize with MEditor.
However, for most other values, there is no problem. i.e.
(2+x)*(3+x) works fine.
Otherwise, thanks for making this nice algebra system!

From the examples quotes by Andrea you might assume it
works if both roots are +/-prime and not otherwise, however
it does seem to work for (8+x)*(16+x). It does alway seem
to work if both roots that are +/- a prime (from a vast
sample of ~8 cases)

The issue is fixed in release 0.76.
Thanks for pointing this out.
