Summary0000769: Black box is placed above sums/products if they are wrapped into a square root
DescriptionI use 'LuaTeX, Version beta-0.70.2-2012062812 (TeX Live 2012)' (could not select this in the version pull down menu).

When typesetting something like \sqrt{\sum_{i=0}^n} lualatex renders a large black box above the sum. Using pdflatex this looks as expected.
Steps To ReproduceTypeset

\documentclass{standalone}
\begin{document}
$\displaystyle\sqrt{\sum_{i=0}^n}$
\end{document}

using lualatex and pdflatex and compare the output.

looks ok in context so it's probably a latex bug (some math parameter wrong)

Happens with this plain document as well:

$\displaystyle\sqrt{\sum_{i=0}^n}$
\bye

Looks ok here when run with luatex-plain:

luatex -ini=luatex-plain
luatex -fmt=./luatex-plain

so, best define 'plain'. Keep in mind that plain is really 'plain.tex' i.e. traditional fonts and math. The luatex-plain format only adds basic otf support.

There is a radical primitive that could be used to redefine the sqrt command in plain but then we're no longer talking 'plain'.

What do I have to type on the command line in order to check the behavior under luatex-plain? Running
luatex -ini=luatex-plain test.tex
where test.tex contains "$\displaystyle\sqrt{\sum_{i=0}^n}$\bye" gives the same wrong result with the black box.
Running "luatex -fmt=./luatex-plain test.tex" results in
"kpathsea: Running mktexfmt ./luatex-plain.fmt I can't find the format file `./luatex-plain.fmt'!"

Please let me know if I missed something. I will try to reproduce what you did once I have the full command line.

output looks fine with my version of luatex-plain. It looks to me like a misconfiguration of the macro package, not an engine error.
