This is the case. I sometimes open two lyx sessions (instances) when I
need to refer to another file, or another part of a long lyx file.
Copy/paste between two windows becomes impossible! I can not use
middle button, can not even use paste external selection. (If I have
to, I can paste to emacs, copy, and paste to the other lyx session. Of
course formula will be messed up.)
As a side note, it would be nice to be able to display two windows of
the same or different lyx files. This will make copy paste between two
files (or differnt parts of the same file) much easier. Opening two
main windows (like MS word does now) is OK provided that copy/paste
between these two windows is possible.

Just for me to understand, which platforms are you talking about?
If I understand it correctly, the original observations were for
MacOSX on which copying from other applications removes line/
paragraph breaks (which of course is a big drawback). However copying
from one LyX-document to another works fine including equations (in
Mac OSX there's only one LyX-session in one window opposite from most
other Mac-applications) at least for me with 1.4pre3 on OSX 10.4.4.
Could the problem in the the Mac case stem from the copied text being
sent through the operating system where (if I remeber correctly) Mac
uses a different scheme for line-/paragraph-breaks than other platforms?
