char-right via LyX server and math insets
This occurs on a Fedora 15 system with LyX 2.0.3. Create a new file with some random text and a math inset with some random math in it. Position the cursor somewhere before the math inset. Using the right-arrow key the cursor can be moved into and then past the math inset. Using char-right repeatedly from the command minibuffer the cursor can similarly be moved into and past the math inset. Using the char-right command via the LyX server with echo 'LYXCMD:clientname:char-right:' ~/.lyx/lyxpipe.in however, the cursor always stops at the left side of the math inset. It works fine on ordinary text, but it cannot enter the math inset. When the command is run with the cursor already inside the math inset the cursor-point just pops out to the left of the math inset.
