Superscript / Subscript Bugging out in Equation Editor

The equation editor seems to be glitching.

The problem seems to occur while attempting to type an expression such as:

1/2 U"(w_t)

1/2 changes into a fraction fine. The expression within U"( ) does not become w subscript t.

When the equation becomes "corrupted" with this error, clearing its contents and attempting to type anything else (for example, x^2 does not change it to x power 2).

Is equation editor perhaps interpreting one of the expressions I've typed in as something else that I'm aware of?

I realize that my reply wasn't quite clear. The assumption is that you insert the parentheses via the Equation Tools Design tab on the ribbon; then (w_t) and similar expressions with parentheses should convert properly.
