Hoi Sander,

The fraction line of a nested fractions is in fact shorter than that
of its parent fraction, but by a very small amout. This seems to be
the standard behaviour -- I tried the formula in LaTeX, and the
difference is just as small.
I agree with you that it would be nice if the difference were a bit
bigger in the case of continued fractions, but I suspect that would be
hard to automate. Anyway: below is a quick hack for manual adjustment.
(I've simplified your formula somewhat -- the one in your mail threw
some syntax errors to do with {} nesting, and the square roots made it
harder to make out the fraction line.)
Cheers,
Sietse
