I admit, that my last sentence is very confusing. Just forget about

I meant was: If I put the cursor before or behind the math box, i.e in

normal text, I can use the label function. As soon as I put the cursor in
the math box the label function is inactive. Therefore I cannot label the
equation in the math box. As long as I cannot asign a label to the
equation
it makes no sense to look at the pdf I guess.
Just to make sure we're all on the same page, you're talking about a
displayed math inset (on its own line), right? If you have a math inset
in the middle of a line of text, you won't be able to insert a label
(the label item on the insert menu is grayed out), because inserting a
label there makes no sense. A label in a math inset refers to the
equation number, and in-line math insets don't get numbered.
I can understand that this behavior is confusing for a new comer that
haven't read the tutorial :-). Maybe we should authorize label insertion
also for inline formulas and automatically switch to displayed formula
if a label is inserted. Maybe with a warning box that explains what LyX
did and what the user should do in order to avoid this warning box.
