Hello,
I think this error has happened before:
I'm creating a question
https://numbas.mathcentre.ac.uk/question/share/view/996c17fe-29f9-48bb-ae37-292dfdefe762
where I have a function definition which uses "sum(..)", sum of a list
of numbers, which is a JME function, right? But then there variable
"sum" is automatically created as the editor thinks I need it.

try changing your definition to map(v[i]*w[i],i,0..len(v)-1)

That's not the problem, it still creates the "sum" variable.
I've solved it in a different way for this question but I think it's an
error in how the editor creates variables that it thinks should be there.

The 'sum' variable that's there doesn't claim to be used anywhere, so I think what happened is that it was created while you were typing, before you put the brackets in to make it a function application, and then somehow it forgot to remove it. I made a copy of your question and deleted the variable, and it wasn't created again.

How odd! I did try removing in the original question but it kept coming
back. Thanks!
