Let Q = QuaternionAlgebra(-2167, -7) be a rational quaternion algebra with standard basis {1, i , j, k} as follows.

sage: Q.<i, j, k> = QuaternionAlgebra(-2161,-7)
sage: B = [1/2 + 2/7*j + 1/14*k, 1/32*i + 13/32*j + 19/8*k, 4/7*j + 1/7*k, 4*k]
sage: O = Q.quaternion_order(B)
sage: O
Order of Quaternion Algebra (-2161, -7) with base ring Rational Field
  with basis (1/2 + 2/7*j + 1/14*k, 1/32*i + 13/32*j + 19/8*k, 4/7*j + 1/7*k, 4*k)

I think this (maximal Z-)order doesn't contain k but I get

sage: k in O
True

The is inconsistent with the result on Magma:

> K := Rationals();
> Q<i, j, k> := QuaternionAlgebra<K|-2161, -7>;
> B := [ 1/2 + 2/7*j + 1/14*k, 1/32*i + 13/32*j + 19/8*k, 4/7*j + 1/7*k, 4*k ];
> O := QuaternionOrder(B);
> O;
Order of Quaternion Algebra with base ring Rational Field, defined by i^2 = -2161, j^2 = -7
with coefficient ring Integer Ring
> k in O;
false
> 2*k in O;
false
> 4*k in O;
true

What is the issue here?

This bug seems to have been reported already.

A fix needs review at:

I'm using older version but does it work properly on Sage 9.6? It seems there is no ticket saying it has been fixed yet.

Someone needs to review the ticket. Then it can be merged in the next version of Sage.

See Reviewing tickets in the developer guide.
