I came across what I thought was a bug. In the attached, if I put the
cursor just inside the note and press ctrl + i for inset-toggle, I
expected the note to close.

I looked around in the code, and I found an interesting chunk in InsetMathNest.cpp:

    // 'Locks' the math inset. A 'locked' math inset behaves as a unit
    // that is traversed by a single <CursorLeft>/<CursorRight>.
    case LFUN_INSET_TOGGLE:
        cur.recordUndo();
        lock(!lock());
        cur.popForward();
        break;

I don't know if that is actually related to the issue I was looking at,
but I had never heard of this feature. Does anyone use it? Can someone
give me an example of a case where it is used? Is it indeed saved in the
file format? I think I might find this feature useful.

It is fun to discover new features no matter how long I've been around LyX.

I think it is a very old feature from André's era, I thought it was not working anymore, and it seems inded that it is broken.

Shall we salvage it, or kill it? It can also be used inside formulas in theory.

I doubt it's worth the effort to get it working again. But maybe just comment it out, in case anyone decides they want to work on it.
