Hello!
Is there any way to change the padding (i.e. the number of pixels) on the
sides of equations?
The reason I ask is when I'm trying to select part of an equation I often
need single-pixel mouse precision to avoid grabbing everything. Adding a
pixel or two of buffer on the edge would be pretty helpful. This is also
true for things like "the stuff inside a square root" though adding pixels
there might make things ugly..
I agree that selecting stuff in a formula can be quite tricky.
However, there is one important reason speaking against more padding:
If you press the space bar inside mathed, this has the effect of an
"escape"¹ but it does *not* insert whitespace. This is easily overlooked
already with the current display, adding a padding makes it even harder
to detect if the formula is followed by whitespace or directly by text.
(There are use-cases for both: "$x$-axis" or a formula followed by
punctuation as well as formulas in the middle of a sentence requiring
whitespace around.)
A better solution would be to only need to go over half the inset to
select it, as suggested in http://www.lyx.org/trac/ticket/9748
