This line is bogus. This is clearly wrong, it shouldn't be here. The line above says that this table has 1 line and two columns. Bellow we have discription for the columns and then for all cells (2), so this line is completly wrong. :-( > 8 0 0 "" "" > 8 0 0 "" "" > 0 8 0 0 0 0 0 "" "" > 0 8 0 0 0 0 0 "" "" > > > \begin_inset Formula \( 7 > \latex latex > > \backslash )* > \latex default > * > \newline > > \begin_inset Formula \( 4 > \latex latex > > \backslash )* > \latex default > * > \newline > > > \the_end > </from-relyx> > > Now I don't know much about the lyx-format, but this looks a bit strange > considering where it came from...

At least with regard to older lyx formats. That is one of the main reasons why we have been cleaning the file format in 1.4, actually we had more file format changes in 1.4 than all the previous versions combined.
