All math panel sub menus at the same time? That did work?

It seem to in 1.2.2cvs, I have no 1.2.1 around, but I can't
remember a change in that area.
Btw, you know that you get () by typing 'M-m (' without reaching to the
mouse, do you?

What's wrong with _typing_ math in 1.2.1? This certainly is not worse
than 1.1.6. Of course, this is purely subjective.

Not present in 1.2.2cvs either. And again, I don't remember a change in
that area.

Yes, cursor movement is broken in 1.2.x. I think this is a bit better in
1.3.0cvs now.
Anyway, if you really managed to type 700 pages in LyX I wonder why you
still use the math panel? I'd never found it useful for stuff I know, and
for the odd symbol used once in a year the user interface does not seems to
be usable.
