This is exactly what happens when I change sizes in lyxtext. Or are you
talking about region changes with multiple fonts ?

If mathed can't cope with search and replace, it is hardly an excuse to
introduce some bad UI. Fix the architecture.

Illogical. I don't mention other UI problems LyX has, therefore I cannot
mention any ? I do not accept that the S&R UI mess can only be fixed by
introducing font insets.
LyX has a lot of UI problems, don't get me wrong. Mathed is by no means
the only offender here.
