LaTeX default headers/footers are ugly. If you have the package
fancyhdr installed, you could try the 'fancy' header option in
Layout->Document and add something like the following to your
preamble (untested):
\fancyhead{}
\fancyhead[LE]{\slshape \nouppercase{\leftmark}}
\fancyhead[RO]{\slshape \nouppercase{\rightmark}}
\addtolength{\headheight}{3pt}

Yes, this is a known problem.

If what you include is a real code snippet (i.e. that you have in a
file), then you can use Insert->Include_File (check verbatim) to
include directly the file, with presumably a better result.
