I would like to arrange exression
A Sum [ B_i ,{i,1,s}]
into expression
Sum [ A B_i, {i,1,s} ]
Following transformation code gives unwanted answer:
A*Sum[Subscript[B, i], {i, 1, s}] /.
  a_*Sum[b_, {i, 1, s}] -> Sum[a*b, {i, 1, s}]
Result is
A s Bi
I understand, why it behawes this way, but I dont know the correct way.
Thanks for your hints,
Cyril
