This causes a lot of frustration to me, because often I only decide

and type CMD-return again :-(
I agree that this isn't the most useful behavior...for me, but
obviously someone did choose this. Andre---do you have a view?
I think this is pretty old logic and everytime one trie to change
something in this area people start crying foul.
Yes, people get used to these sorts of things, and if you change them,
they get upset.
When typing a LaTeX command in Math mode, the space bar completes the
command and displays the symbol. This accords roughly with what would
be expected if one were typing LaTeX. What is strange to me is that
hitting the space bar in other circumstances causes the cursor to jump
to just after the math box, even if it were previously only half way
through.
It's confusing to have such radically different behaviour in
very similar circumstances, and I can't think why the second behaviour
would be very very useful.
<space> is sort of 'I am done'.
Ditto, I suppose.
