--- Comment #3 from V Stuart Foote <vsfoote at libreoffice.org> ---
This was one of the primary differences between the experimental (now graduated
and default) Visual mode. They use different code paths within the sm module.

In the non-visual edit window mode, the edit cursor tracked with the
highlighted sm formula node. 

While in visual edit mode, the edit window and StarMath entry syntax is
secondary to the WYSIWYG visual cursor. The nodes are not linked to the
formula, and one could argue the command window could even be toggled hidden.

We knew issues like this would emerge, and Dev recommendation [1] was to keep
the Visual mode graduated--but revert making it default.
