Thanks for the quick fix!  This is something that's bothered me for a long
time (usually within aligned equations not within tables) but not enough to
pursue a tracker entry.  I'm looking forward to easier highlighting and
mouse navigation.

I guess the same goes for anything that does something when clicked. If
it is inside a table cell and a mouse selection ends on top of it, a

Hi Helge,

It's fixed at 354897f6.

I think this is another manifestation of problems with the way that
mouse clicks, but also other things, are dispatched to insets. But I
could be wrong.

Ending selection on item inside a table erroneously interpreted as a "click", brings up dialog

[Helge Hafting]

To reproduce:

1. Start lyx 2.2.2, make an empty document

2. insert a table

3. Inside some cell, hit ctrl+space to make a protected space. 
(Alternatively, create a horizontal fill, or any of the special 
horizontal spaces.)


4. press the mouse somewhere not on on that protected space. drag to 
create a selection. release the mouse button when the pointer is on top 
of that protected space. The selection may be inside that one cell, span 
several cells, or even start outside the table. The far end of the 
selection does not matter, only the release point.


This brings up the "Horizontal Space Settings" dialog, and that should 
not happen in this case. The dialog is only supposed to happen when 
clicking on a protected space (or other horizontal spaces.)


It seems the protected space have to be in a table cell for this to 
happen. It does not happen if the protected space is in normal text, or 
in a minipage or in a float.


It is not only protected spaces. Put a minipage inside a table cell, and 
if selection ends upon it, it will be "clicked" and alternate between 
open and closed view. Or if there is a protected space inside, its menu 
will pop up.


I guess the same goes for anything that does something when clicked. If 
it is inside a table cell and a mouse selection ends on top of it, a 
(wrong) click action happens.
