The attached patch disable Paragraph::getUChar functionality of inversing
the paranthesis. I grep'ed for the function and it seems to be used only by
math inset's pasting getPlainText mechanism, and indeed it has no effect on
regular paranthesis.
Please have a look at this very simple patch and apply it if possible. If
you're convinced the parenthesis inversion is unnecessary, feel free to
remove it altogether.
Thanks
