If I understand correctly, when inserting an ASCII file, the spaces before
the first non-space are translated into protected blanks.
However, in a lyx-code paragraph, the roles of normal space and
protected space are exchanged, namely the latex output of normal spaces is
'~', while the latex output of a protected space is ' '.
Therefore, the code will not be indented in the DVI output.
When the file is reopened, the protected spaces in lyx-code are converted
into normal spaces, so the problem is fixed.
So I guess that the output of protected space in lyx-code is should be '~'
and not ' '. This is easy to fix (InsetSpecialChar::Latex).
