1. Open the Embedded Objects help file (help->Embedded Objects)
2. Go to section 2.6.2, Table 2.
3. Change the width on the first column to 1 inch.  Notice that the caption
goes crazy and becomes very ³tall²

Of course, because there is not enough space. So the characters are set below 
each other and not beside.

4. Change the column to 0.5 inch.  Now the caption is well behaved, going
across columns.

Because now there is also not enough space for a single character (plus the border spaces of the caption inset).

This ugly behaviour is only within LyX, the output is perfect. Currently captions in longtables are not fully supported, so the method give in the EmbeddedObjects manual is still a hack. Could you please open a bug report describing the problem you encountered at bugzilla.lyx.org?

thanks and regards
