Your problem comes from the fact that the enumerate format in a LyX file
does not map very well the enumerate environment in LaTeX and that LyX has
to guess where it must close the enumerate environment. The manual newpages
that you have inserted trick the LyX algorithm in a subtle different way
than in LyX 1.3.6
Two solutions :
- Delete and reinsert the manual newpages, it could trick back LyX in your
desired behavior
- Export to LaTeX and suppress the extra \end{enumerate} \begin{enumerate}
Users have a lot of problems with enumerations in LyX. I think there is a
need to a more powerful interface (maybe with all the features of mdwlist)
with a finer control of setting and resetting enumeration numbers.
Cheers,
Charles
