$begingroup$
I am trying to evaluate a limit:
gamma[w_] = Sqrt[-(u*e)w^2 + I*(u*s)w];
Limit[Re[gamma[x]], x -> DirectedInfinity[1]]
I calculated the limit by hand, and the correct answer is (I also checked numerically for some examples of $u,e,s$ using the software):
$qquad frac s2 sqrtfrac ue$
But for some reason, when using Limit, I get
DirectedInfinity[(Sign[e]^2 Sign[u]^2)^(1/4)]
So my questions are:
What is going here?
What issues should I be aware of when using Limit?

I think it's worth reporting the issue to support. If you give appropriate assumptions, then you get your expected result:
Limit[Re[gamma[x]], x -> Infinity, Assumptions -> u>0 && e>0]
(s u)/(2 Sqrt[e u])
