I think this is pretty old logic and everytime one trie to change something in this area people start crying foul. My prefered behaviour would be to just change type to eqnarray/align and leave everything in the first cell including the cursor in the same position. Then the user can run cell-split (used to be Ctrl-Tab) afterwards. > >When typing a LaTeX command in Math mode, the space bar completes the > >command and displays the symbol.

I think 'leave innermost inset on <space>' has been there all the time. Andre'
