That's a matter of font metrics, I fear. > If the user then writes My "formulax+x=2xis a true statement", then > the lack of spacing will be as obvious in LyX as it is now in this email. > There will be no need to indicate where the inset ends with > background color then.

I mean, when you leave a math inset by hitting the space bar, LyX does not insert a space after the math and perhaps it should. I think that this change would cure the vast majority of "missing space after math" cases. -- Enrico
