Recently I wished to select e^{2\pi it} from within a larger formula
(in LyX 2.3.2). Using the mouse I ended with the selection shown in
the attached .png. The highlighting suggests the exponent has been
selected, but on pasting (also shown in the .png) only the "e" was
pasted. This caused a moment's confusion, including checking that the
same thing happened in LyX 2.2.3. If I had moved the mouse pointer
another pixel to the right then the selection would have embraced the
whole formula, as desired, but such minute adjustments are difficult
with the mouse. In the maths editor, I can see a virtue in having two
shades (or colours) of selection highlighting to indicate the
different stages of selection.
This is definitely a bug, and an old one. The whole script inset should
be selected when selection covers two different cells of the inset.
Note that the same happens with a fraction. This is a general problem.
