Hi Stefan
I wanted to ask you whether the present behaviour of the poping up of
macros will be the final one? You told me once that you will either
allow to choose between the macros not popping up at all and between
popping up as they did earlier, or to make some compromise. I guess that
you decided for the compromise?
Although I like your solution much much more than the situation before,
I would still suggest to allow avoiding completely the pop-up (showing
the fact that one enters a macro only in the status line).
Let me give an example, why I find the pop-up still a bit annoying.
Imagine you have a long equation and at the very beginning there is some
macro. If you enter it, the rest of the line is moved a bit to the
right, if you exit it, it is moved back again. When you have a lot of
macros in the line and you move with the cursor from the left to the
right, the whole equation is always moving a bit. I think that the eyes
get tired much faster that way. Also, sometimes one has the impression
one has changed s.th., although nothing has changed. In contrast, when
entering and exiting e.g. a fractional (say an 'internal macro'),
everything stays as its place and the navigation is extremely smooth. I
wouldn't suggest this if I thought it was much work to realize. But
because of your statements and from the nice "bug" in 1.5. (where
navigation was sometimes exactly like my suggestion), I suppose that it
was rather a matter of taste then a matter of realizability?
Just my opinion. 
Sebastian
