Yes, it is needed. Guess why the box was introduced? because it is
impossible to tell where exactly your are without it. It makes a big
difference if you enter the next character before or after the \mathbf in
\mathbf{\bigg xxx}}. You cannot distinguis these two positions without the
box.

This is very important IMHO. The box must appear if the cursor is in,
always. Not only you are used to it, many other people, too. Please don't
try to speed up things by letting the screen display go wrong.
