Sorry, I didn't myself clear. I don't want "partial insets", and doubt that they would be useful. What I was trying to say is that the cursor should not jump to the first or the third rows while you move the mouse. That is, while you move the mouse over the inset, the cursor should be at the end of the inset. Otherwise, if while dragging you move the mouse outside the inset, perhaps going over the first or the third rows, then and only then the first or the third rows should be selected. Think about a newbie that starts to copy a large inset. He starts to move the mouse and not only the whole inset gets imediately selected (which is natural), but also neighbour insets. As he moves the mouse, more undesired things will be selected. He will be confused and stop what he was trying to do unless he knows that if he goes farther, then suddenly less things will be selected. This is not critical, of course. Anyone can get used with this behavior. Thank you, Joćo.
