It is apparently only a problem when using certain capital letters.
overbar 's' works OK, but overbar 'S' jumps out of math mode.  overbar
'N' apparently works correctly, so this is a little more odd than I thought.

I did some checking, and it doesn't matter if you do it from the
keyboard or from the drop-down accent menu.  ESC-B, or bar, then say S
(complement of S) is typeset, then moving forward, either by CTRL-F or
right-arrow takes the cursor out of math mode.  This does not happen
with any of the other accent characters -- tilde, vector -- though I
haven't thoroughly tested every possible combination yet.

Sorry I didn't post it there myself; thanks for doing the extra typing.

Great -- thanks.
