I always hated this. In fact I think that we should hide this to the user.
In particular with math (same thing happends) I find this very annoying
(did I cut the equation inside math, or just the whole math inset?).
It would be possible to take a note of which type the last cut was, and use
*that* buffer when pasting (inserting an appropriate inset if needed).
Yes, I know it sounds a bit of work to apparently get less functionality
(only 1 cut buffer) but I really think it would be much better ui-wise.
For 1.5 if any. Thoughts?
