http://www.lyx.org/trac/ticket/704 Comment 3: They are still enabled in LyX 1.5svn but in contrary to comment 2, when you use them now the insets are created in front of the formula which is unproblematic. But to avoid confusions I think they all should be deactivated when being in math. Comment 6: In LyX 1.6.7 they are still enabled, but if you use them, they are correctly placed before the formula. -> mark this as fixed. Comment 8: My latest comment is indeed contradicting but as nobody complained about this in the last 4 years, it seems that this doesn't lead to confusions. But as I'm not really sure what to do here and thus reopen this bug now. Vincent
