Today, Mathlive internally arranges the latex construct "x_i^2" in this way:
position n: x
n+1: ^2
n+3: _i
This makes it impossible to select "x_i", instead, the smallest selection unit bigger than just "x" is "x^2". As per discussion in Discord, changing the order to have the subscript go first after the base, would fix this issue.
Steps to Reproduce
write x_i^2 (in latex box) in mathfield, position cursor before x, press shift-right-arrow to extend selection press shift-right-arrow again (twice), trying to extend over the subscript
Actual Behavior
base and superscript are selected, but not subscript
Expected Behavior
base and subscript should be selected, but not superscript
