Sorry, I should have reported my version running on Debian Jessie:
LyX 2.1.2 (2014-09-16)
Built on Sep 29 2014, 11:07:17
Configuration
Host type: x86_64-pc-linux-gnu
Special build flags: build=release warnings use-enchant
C++ Compiler: g++ (4.9.1)
C++ Compiler LyX flags:
C++ Compiler flags: -D_FORTIFY_SOURCE=2 -g -O2
-fstack-protector-strong -Wformat -Werror=format-security
Linker flags:
Linker user flags: -Wl,-z,defs -Wl,--as-needed -Wl,-z,relro
Qt 4 Frontend:
Qt 4 version: 4.8.6
Packaging: posix
LyX binary dir: /usr/bin
LyX files dir: /usr/share/lyx
I think the crux of the problem is described in this email:
https://www.mail-archive.com/lyx-users@lists.lyx.org/msg102676.html
Unfourtunately QT (unline Java or GTK+) by default doesn't use X11's
rendering capabilities anymore - instead it rasterizes everything
itself and sends pre-rasterized image data to the X server.
For Lyx this means that when typing, QT always sends images back
instead of just the drawing commands.
There used to be options to revert back to using X11 drawing commands,
however I am not up to date in this matter.
It feels like -graphicssystem native has no effect on the rendering of
typing, while it does help almost everything else.
