OK, let's ask differently: when is Wide() true? In a collapsable inset which is alone on its line? Isn't it possible to have a live test equivalent to Wide()? I tested the patch, and it seems to work very well. I am OK with putting this in 1.4. Also, I notice that there is a rather large right margin in the LyX window. Is there a reason for that? Finally, when typing random text in a footnote, everytime the text gets near the right margin, the all the lines of the footnote move right and left. Is that the effect that you described, Bennett?
