I think that this is a side-effect of this semantically fragile macro.  Indeed, the 'rsub' and 'rsup' primitives are very special in that they are glued to the corresponding radicals.  You are not intended to create user-macros with this kind of behaviour.  If you do (as you did), then the typesetting might be OK, but you are likely to run into various kinds of other problems (like the one you mention here).

So I consider this kind of usage of TeXmacs to be somewhat inproper and likely to trigger minor bugs.

  • Prose Description: Moving point through a simple macro unrelated to a footnote tag causes the blue context box to encompass both the macro and the footnote contents.
  • Version: TeXmacs 2.1
  • OS: Debian 10
  • Steps to recreate:

  * Create document with footnote.
  * Create macro `<B>` defined as `<rsub|<text|B>>`
  * Create inline formula `<math|m<B><rprime|'>>`
  * Move point through formula; blue context box will encompass footnote text when at `<B>`.
  * See `20210527..footnote_context_visual_bug_example.tm`
  * See `20210701..footnote_context_visual_bug_example.png`

  • Expected behavior:

  * The macro's blue context box should not expand to include footnote text when point is in macro tag.

  • Actual behavior:

  * The macro's blue context box expands to include footnote text when point is in macro tag.
