attached pdf, where's the footnote?)
I was afraid something like that would happen. So it's probably an issue with captions and footnotes. Someone here will know what to do.

I don't know if this is a known bug  or not, but when I tried to insert a
footnote inside a graphics float's caption, the file won't compile and
give:
Argument of [EMAIL PROTECTED] has an extra }.

Paragraph ended before [EMAIL PROTECTED] was complete.
I'm pretty sure this isn't a LyX bug but a LaTeX limitation. It may be that \footnote needs to be \protected in this context, in which case it is a LyX bug. So you might try putting "\protect" in ERT immediately before the footnote, and see if that helps. If not, then it's a LaTeX issue.
