Spurious spacing after math formula

Description

The horizontal spacing between a math formula and the following text
is too large on screen. For instance, create a document with the following
content (given in LaTeX notation):

foo$1$bar

On screen, there is a small gap between "1" (the math formula) and "bar"
(regular text) though there is no real space. Even in preview mode, the gap
does not vanish. Thus, a user often has to check whether he has inserted
a space or not.

Note: Andre told me there is no simple technical solution for this problem.
I wonder what function is responsible for adding this space.

The space is used for the border. Not sure what we should do here.

But why is the border in front of the formula smaller?

Anyway, there is no need for any border in case of instant previews.

Fix committed to mailing list on 2003-01-12.

Severity changed to major because these additional spaces are _really_ confusing.

The problem has been fixed for previewed formula.
Like Andre, I don't see a clean, simple, technical solution for normally
displayed formula.

IMO this partial solution is good enough, so I will close this bug report.
Goodbye!
