Subject: Re: Table row alignment?

I use LyX 2.3.3 on 64bit Windows 10, latest version.

I have a floating table with 3 columns. In the first column, I have a figure, 
in the second column I need to rows of equations, and in the third column, I 
have a text line:
[cid:image001.jpg@01D5D460.2F1A9D80]

To get two rows of equations in a sigle table cell, I inserted a 2x1 table 
within the cell, and inserted a single-line equation in each sub cell. [If I 
instead insert a multiline equation in the cell, LyX preview crashes.]

My main problem is that I find it “ugly” that the three columns in the row 
(figure, two lines of equations, and text line] don’t align up well, 
horizontally.  I have tried to choose the row containing the cylinder, the 
equations (Jz = ½*m..., Jx = Jy = ...), and the text (“Hollow cylinder...”), 
and select, say, top alignment, or centered alignment, but those icons/choices 
are disabled.

Is there a way to control the horizontal alignment?

Thanks.

Without a MWE on which to experiment, it's hard to be certain. A couple of 
possibilities come to mind. One is to replace the 2x1 inner table with a 
multiline math formula (such as a "gathered" environment). Another is to click 
in a cell in the first column¸ click Edit > Table Settings (or right click and 
do the equivalent), set a fixed width for the first column and a vertical 
alignment of "Middle" in the column settings dialog.

I have attached a minimal LyX document with the *.svg file that I use. In the 
figure path of LyX, I have put the figure in a subdirectory “figs” – which can 
easily be changed.
I’ve tested a bit more, and it is the insertion of the *figure* that causes the 
problem. My “trick” of getting multiline math by inserting a table within a 
table cell works fine.
So: is it possible to vertically center the figure at the insertion point?
