I inserted a math display box, then "\mbox" then "{" (LyX inserted the closing
"}"), then "\textrm" then "{" (automatic insertion of "}") then I
typed some characters. I saved the file and spaces where inserted
between \textrm and the accolade. This extra space makes LyX unable
to read properly the formula.
The solution is to edit the LyX file and delete the extra space. The
formula is then read and written correctly.
