Hello LyX developers! Firstly, thank you for such a great product. I appreciate all the work you guys put into this application. Here is the problem. I'm not sure if it's a bug. I couldn't find any mention of it online, so thought I might as well inform you. Maybe it's just bad practice.
Following the method described in the LyX documentation on how to get figures side-by-side, I went and put a table and a figure side by side in a figure float, and referenced them. When I later cross-referenced, it would give the table as "table 1a" and the figure as "figure 1a" in a formatted reference (both in figure 1). If I go on to create a subsequent table float and reference it, it comes out as "table 1". If I then nest some tables inside this float and reference those, the references work and come out as another "table 1a", the document is compiled to pdf/dvi etc without complaining, and "hyperref" in PDF Properties of Document Settings works too, linking to the correct figure/float. The only indication that something might not be right is all the font colour in the float handles turning red. Is there a way to fix this? Maybe for different nested floats the formatted reference should be something like "figure 1: table 1a" and "table 1: table 1a". Cheers, Samuel
