Isn't is possible to implement scripts as before ? (and still compute their
position correctly)

Suppose I have x+y^{2}, and I want to change the y to x.
If I put the cursor before the y and press delete, the y is deleted but
the cursor is now after the script, namely x+^{2}| (| denotes the cursor
position), so when I type x, the result is x+^{2}x|
(however it is possible to first type x and then press delete:
x+|y^{2} -> x+x|y^{2} -> x+x^{2}| ).
The desired behavior should be
x+|y^{2} -> x+|^{2} -> x+x|^{2}
Another problem is that I cannot copy scripts, namely suppose I need to type
x^{123}+y^{123}+z^{123}.
Previously, I could type x^{123}, place the cursor between the x and the
superscript, press shift+right (which would mark the superscript), press
ctrl+c (the superscript is copied to the clipboard) and then do
+ y <ctrl+p> + z <ctrl+p>.
