I think I figured out some clue. When the cursor is in a Math inset and when I move the cursor using "ARROW KEYS", no change happens. But when I use the "MOUSE" for select a different position in the same row, the value targetX() gets change. What is the missing thing for key board events, other than the mouse events, regarding this? Thanks Hashini
