That is a very good question. If this did not happen, we also wouldn't need the wide() thing. It seems to be because the metric of an inset finds the narrowest width that encloses its content. I don't know precisely where this happens, but it would be so much better if, for insets containing multi-row paragraphs at least, it would take a standard text width instead. I have looked at this and failed. - Martin
