Strange. Have you counted the non-zeroes, or are you displaying the matrix?

Displaying the matrix and counting everything that looks like zero.
(Just looking at the numbers.)


There are about double the number of non-zeros (you can get the number by A.nnz()) for the Stokes example with the new version compared to version 0.6.4. For poisson and elasticity, the number of non-zeroes is the same as with version 0.6.4. The linear algebra looks fine - something is going on with the computation of the sparsity pattern for the Stokes problem.

Could this have anything to do with the initialization of uBlas
matrices with a sparsity pattern and not using the temporary storage
as before? Did we have a check that removed zeros?

I haven't tried with PETSc.
