Well, you can't eat your cake and still have it... We have to decide what is worse. The current behavior has been there for ages, and the only problem is that one could miss a missing space after a math inset. I think that I can live with this limitation, but suddenly it becomes something so vital that it is preferable turning the LyX screen into a Christmas tree (thanks for this definition meant for effect, Edwin :) > > If you are leaving an inset using > > arrow left or right and this inset is nested in another inset, > > show the corners of the new inset but don't move the cursor. > > When leaving an inset with arrow left/right, you actually move the > > cursor only if there is no containing inset.

However, if I have to decide between a Christmas tree and this last behavior, I don't have any doubt... I don't know if there's a bug open on this issue, but if there is one, I think that this one of those WONTFIX cases. -- Enrico
