Uwe, if you look at the red markers and at the status line at the bottom, it is apparent that the supposed bug happens because the cursor logically is between '}' and '^' in "\overbrace{abc}^{over}". If you type something now, it *must* steal the exponent. If you don't want this, then move the cursor further to the left, such that it is in between 'c' and '}'. -- Enrico
