The problem is that displaying it would provoke a full redraw and

formula, or do you?
Yes, it is needed. Guess why the box was introduced? because it is
impossible to tell where exactly your are without it. It makes a big
difference if you enter the next character before or after the \mathbf in
\mathbf{\bigg xxx}}. You cannot distinguis these two positions without the
box.
I would rather see a more meaningful way to distinguish between the two
that these box corners. I mean, I wouldn't mind a less accurate screen
representation of the formula if that is easier to navigate. I guess
this is related to the math "logical" metrics we were talking about in
the other thread.
the box is a indication that the inset got focus, so i find it a bit
confusing as it is now (although i guess that this is in part because i
am used to them).
This is very important IMHO. The box must appear if the cursor is in,
always. Not only you are used to it, many other people, too.
I am not sure I agree with that. I being used to it doesn't mean it is
necessary.
Please don't
try to speed up things by letting the screen display go wrong.
OK, I will put it back, but the performance will decrease significantly
on Mac :-(
