set_default_chart seems to fail

I load the following file

theManifold = Manifold(1,'M',r'\mathcal{M}')
theManifold = Manifold(1,'M',r'\mathcal{M}')

theOpenSet = theManifold.open_subset('U')

firstChart.<x> = theOpenSet.chart(r'x')

g=theManifold.riemannian_metric('g')
g[0,0] = x

show("g with first chart")
show(g.display())

secondChart.<y> = theOpenSet.chart('y')

first_to_second = firstChart.transition_map(secondChart,[2*x])
second_to_first = first_to_second.inverse()

show("g with secondChart.frame() and secondChart as arguments to display")
show(g.display(secondChart.frame(),secondChart))

theManifold.set_default_frame(secondChart.frame())
theManifold.set_default_chart(secondChart)

show("g with secondChart.frame() and secondChart as defaults")
show(g.display())

The output is

๐š ๐š ๐š’๐š๐š‘ ๐š๐š’๐š›๐šœ๐š ๐šŒ๐š‘๐šŠ๐š›๐š

g=1/4 x dyโŠ—dy

In particular, when the secondChart and secondChart.frame() have been set as defaults, the metric g is expanded with respect to the second frame, but the components are still expressed in the first coordinates.

Is there a way to set defaults so that g appears as 1/8 y dy โŠ—dy?

Yes, you have to run

theOpenSet.set_default_frame(secondChart.frame())
theOpenSet.set_default_chart(secondChart)

The reason is that g is displayed through its restriction to the open subset theOpenSet and the commands theManifold.set_default_frame(secondChart.frame()) and theManifold.set_default_chart(secondChart) are not propagated to subsets.

When I set the defaults based for theOpenSet, I get (1/2) y dxโŠ—dx. If I use

theManifold.set_default_frame(secondChart.frame()
theOpenSet.set_default_chart(secondChart)

then I do get (1/8) y dy โŠ— dy, as desired. I don't see the logic, but thanks for getting this to work.
