Strange spacing in some LaTeX formulas

[Michał Gołębiowski-Owczarek]

I've written something as usual as:
x + y = u + v
and LaTeX compiled it creating too large space after u. The same concerns this:
f\colon A \times B
the space after A is way too large. (screenshots attached).

I've asked for help here:
http://www.latex-community.org/forum/viewtopic.php?f=46&t=5100&p=19680
but it seems that in other distributions people don't have this problem.

My distribution: Hardy
texlive-latex-base version: 2007-13ubuntu0.1

What happens: spacing is too large after some symbols.
Whad should happen: spaces before and after each symbol should be the same.

Strange, I cannot confirm that. I just now compiled the exact same
document and got proper spacing.

Can you compile with
 pdflatex -recorder tmp.tex
(or simply latex -recorder) and send me the file tmp.fls.

Tagging unreproducible if this is possible.

Best wishes

Gosh. I realised I use a slightly modified version of pdflatex that prevents one-letter words from being placed at the end of the line, it had to do also this ugly staff. I turned back the original one and it's now correct.

Sorry for the trouble; I'll mark it invalid.
