Use of \mbox in math mode, which is often used in plain LateX, should be
IMHO avoided in LyX because mathed does not
change from math to text mode and back as LaTeX does.
In the given example, the roman text sould be typed in in the so called
� math text mode �
Using a \newcommand offers a workaround when \mbox is really needed, as
it has been pointed out recently.
