Sure sounds like it.
What's remarkable is that it's replicable (always happens) and, in my
case, depends on the locations of the graphics files.
The fact that I couldn't replicate the bug on a newer version of Mac OS
may imply the problem lies with the Yosemite version I'm using.

Hi,
I'll hold off for now, as I may have found the problem by accident,
and it's the weirdest thing. It seems that when I insert a graphic
located in the same directory as the document (e.g., ./MyGraphic.png)
the LyX:Graphics window stays visible. But when the graphic is
located at, e.g., ../images/MyGraphic.png, as soon as one hits the
"Open" button on the graphics browser, the little LyX:Graphics window
scoots behind the currently visible document window, thereby giving
the impression that the dialog window closed inappropriately.
There have been other reports of this kind of behavior on OSX. Indeed,
this sounds like a close relative of bug #10047:

Sorry, Paul. I usually list version and OS first things, but this
time it slipped my mind.
I'm using LyX 2.3.0 on a iMac running Mac OS 10.10.5 (Yosemite).
I followed Riki's suggestion and used the window in LyX itself. All
I did was:
1. Open my document
2. Navigate to the figure float I want to use.
3. Insert a line above the caption
4. Follow Riki's instructions for turning on the Message Pane and
selecting both debug & graphics messages.
Can you try doing this and selecting JUST graphics messages? The
general debug messages make it hard to read the log (and all
TextMetric and focus messages are of that type). It would also help
if you could do exactly the same thing, but with the image in the
place that it does work. Then we can compare.
