Change in sqrt behavior

[mgreminger]

Description

Sometime after 0.93.0, the \sqrt{} command behavior changed so that keyboard navigation moves the cursor to the degree location of the root symbol (the location where you would enter 3 to get a cubic root) when attempting to navigate out from under the square root symbol using the right arrow key (the same thing happens with the Tab key). The change in behavior also impacts attempting to delete the square root using the backspace command when the cursor is located after the square root (the backspace navigates to the degree location instead of deleting the square root). The second pass of deleting works since deleting the degree location once seems to remove the ability to navigate to the degree location subsequently.

Same behavior occurs when inserting a square root using the virtual keyboard

Expected Behavior

When inserting a square root, I would like to have the option of not having the cursor navigate to the degree location of the square root since my app doesn't support changing the square root degree and this behavior would be confusing to users. It's especially confusing that the right arrow moves the cursor to the left and that the backspace doesn't work to delete the square root.
