Hi,

I found a bug in convert, please help me if you know a solution.

When we use the code

convert(U(xi)^2*y(xi)^5,list);

we get 

[U(xi)^2, y(xi)^5]

but when we use

convert(U(xi)^2,list);

we obtain

[U(xi),2]

while I expect the following result:

[U(xi)^2]

* "convert" is one part of my code for solving a problem. Sometimes there are cases that just exist one function instead of >1.

Since I want to keep my codes general, hence I need [U(xi)^2] in response to convert(U(xi)^2,list).

Thanks in advance.
