The described problem occoured many time to me when I had to use math mode
within regular text like a arrow, greek letter, etc. because LyX inserts a
slight space after a math inset which can be easily mistaken as a /real
space/
(like the one we put between 2 words).
I'm also struggling with math and white spaces sometimes, would be great to
have some sort of automatic blanks around math.
Although I've had the problem of not getting spaces after the inline
formula, I'm not sure I'd always like to get the space automtically...
Hmm... could it be an idea to give an inline formula some kind of property
that says it should automatically get a space? Then the user could toggle
some default preference equivalent to:
Inline math-insets should be surrounded by space automtically by
default.
Just a thought.
