Thats it - thanks J�rgen. I am sure did not need to do a new line in older lyx incarnations - I just did an insert figure with the cursor lying inside the caption and it worked. The apparent fault was too gross to be missed by developers, so I assumed it would be caught - or that I was missing something obvious. I have just looked again at the UserGuide on figure floats and on captions, and the insertion of this essential new line does not jump out at me. Perhaps if I read the whole thing .... Anyway, great, thanks.
