Most probably. This leaves us pretty stuck with the problem caused by
having hundreds of macros. I will not commit any change to stable until
we find a good solution. After all, this is what already happens now
and it is not a regression. I think the complaint is due to the fact
that now also the previews get zoomed and this may cause relevant delays,
but I hope one is not zooming all the time. And it starts to be a problem
when you have hundreds of macros, not a very common case, IMHO.
A possible way out would be outputting all the macros once at the
beginning of the file, such that they are seen by all snippets, and then
the specific one appearing in a math inset (as done in the patch I was
proposing). I'll have a look whether this can be done in a simple way.
