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.

"This is definitely a bug, and an old one." Is this on trac already? I
can't find a ticket for it but am happy to add one.
