Hi users, I've traced this to the use of the babel package - it seems to be automatically set for use in Tools->Preferences...->Language settings->Language dialog.
What I find strange is that LyX seems to be introducing the \selectlanguage and \foreignlanguage commands in what appears to be a random fashion. When I create a new equation-reference, I get something like: \eqref{\selectlanguage{british}eq:myequation\selectlanguage{english}} Does anyone know why these show up? In the language settings dialog I see options for Auto begin and Auto end which are checked in my case. Also, in the "Command start:" line-edit, I see "\selectlanguage{$$language}". I am guessing it it these settings that are responsible for the spurious language switchings inside my \eqref. But if these are defaults for new documents, is there a reason why I may not have seen this before? How does the "british" language enter my document - the default is probably just "English" on my system. Even my \documentclass command (on latex export) shows the british option!
