Consider this in Mathematica 6:
Cell[BoxData[FormBox[RowBox[{"a", "+", "b"}], TraditionalForm]],
"Input"] // CellPrint
In the output cell, select the incomplete expression a+ and paste on another cell.
You will see that the FormBox[_,TraditionalForm] wrapper is stripped: the expression is pasted in StandardForm.
Well, this does not happen in previous versions (at least, not in v.5.1).
Also, NotebookRead does not detect the FormBox -- while it did in previous versions.
How can I revert to the old behaviour? How can I mantain the TraditionalForm FormBox on pasting?
Is there a FrontEnd option governing this? Why is the FormBox being stripped?
