Well, it certainly works if you click inside the contents of the middle row
and draw the mouse just left or right. There seems to be a "problem" if you
click to far to the left or to the right and do not move the mouse far
enough but I have difficulties to see this as a bug as this works as
intended: You have a single inset in the middle row, so if you place the
selection anchor outside, the cursor can't go inside lest we would have
"partial insets". Now the cursor is places "as close as legally possible",
which, in your case is the line above or below.

Show me a couple of them and tell me how to handle "partial insets".
