Sigh. You're right.
In fact, this points out another bug in reLyX. If you have
hi
\begin{table}
...
\end{table}
bye
"hi" and "bye" should be in the same paragraph. But reLyX will make them
separate paragraphs, because there are new paragraphs *inside* the table. It
looks like tables basically need to be handled like footnotes (not
surprising since they're both floats!) Unfortunately, I think that changing
tables to be handled exactly like footnotes could cause havoc if someone has
a footnote inside a table! (Of course, you're not really supposed to do
that.)
I'll put it on my todo list (which may never get done).
In the meantime, I added a CheckForNewParagraph call, which will add a
\layout command before a table if it's the beginning of a paragraph, as
necessary.
I've got a few little bugfixes that I ought to check in, but I've been lazy
because I never really checked out lyx-devel. Also, are there ever going to
be 1.0.4 updates?
