      With a Moodle site that uses atto as the editor.

      Go to Plugins > Text editor > Atto HTML editor > Atto toolbar settings

      Go to toolbar config, find the equation plugin and delete it.

      Go to a form that uses the editor (Front page > Front page settings > Front page summary for example) and type in the editor. In Chrome you will see the error Uncaught TypeError: this.textarea.simulate is not a function

      Assume this is because one of the YUI libraries (node-event-simulate?) is not getting loaded if equation isn't being used.
