            As LyX stands now, it is often very difficult to put the
            mouse cursor
            between two insets, because insets, contrary to characters,
            are active
            beasts. If you click a bit to close to them, something
            happens. This is why
            some spacing has to be kept to some extent.


    Actually, as LyX works at the moment, 2.2.2, it *im*possible to
    click between two frames or buttons, e.g. two ERTs or two labels. So
    the space doesn't really help there. This is partly due to a
    "interaction area" translated to the right. But maybe that should be
    changed.

        Can't we make it such that clicks too near to boundaries are
        ignored?


    That seems sensible to me. Or if there is some space in between
    insets then at least not have it as being part of the inset.


Again, I ask for caution here.  How does one delineate "too near"? I may
be missing something with this argument.  However, in an already narrow
situation, being forced to click almost the exact center will become a
greater challenge if some clickability is removed from near the elements
on the edge.

The idea of distinguishing between outer and inner inset offsets should help here. By keeping the inner offset large enough it seems possible to avoid a too "narrow situation".
