Well, IMHO some position in another line can be geometricaly nearer, but not logicaly nearer, as the cursor needs to "walk more" to get to another line. > And as insets can span the whole width of the screen, > placing the cursor on the far end is not a very practical option. This seems to be an argument against the current way, as it would be better in this case if I didn't have to reach the end of the inset to select it. Observe that this is not the behavior outside math. For example, if you have three displayed equations stacked (like the example file I sent), marking the middle one with the mouse will behave like I'm proposing, ie. the cursor does not jump to the first or the third displayed equation, but to the end of the middle.
