there is a mismatch between the languages. the blue lines appear
whenever the global setting of the language for the whole document
is changed.
look at your lyx-file and you'll see something like this
\layout Standard
\lang american
bla bla bla bla
\layout Standard
i did the same as you described above, my first opened document
was a german one and the new one with french. and i never choosed
american!
so i guess that there is something wrong with lyx.
