It's taken me a while to figure out how to reproduce this bug. For a while, I though it must be me hitting the wrong keys somehow. But now I can give a recipe. Open a footnote. Type a few characters, then hit "emphasize" (Ctrl-E, however you like). When you start typing now, the characters will be the wrong size. This does not affect LaTeX output, but only the on-screen rendering. This happens ONLY when you are at the end of the inset, and only if you have not backed up or something. It's most obvious if you put a footnote in a section title, for example. Then you get huge, sans-serif italics, e.g. This is in both branch and trunk. Presumably the "old font" or something is still set to whatever was outside the inset. Richard
This sounds like #7515 which I reported in April 2011. It also occurred with margin notes. I see it has, Keywords: cosmetic; Priority: lowest; Severity: trivial (all of which sound like a great spur to developers to roll up their sleeves and resolve it).
