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.
That would be a good idea, if LyX could accommodate new users by
switching to displayed mode and numbered? when inline formula is forced
to have label.
If you change this to a dialog that says the formula must be numbered
(and therefore in display mode) to bear a label, and give the user the
option to either switch it to display mode or scrap the label, that
would make sense to me. There may be a larger question here, though.
It seems to me that there are a variety of situations where a menu item
won't work and is grayed out (short title and optional argument come to
mind). Do the developers want to provide explanations/corrections for
all of them? I think (based on list traffic) the optional argument one
is a more common problem than labels in inline math insets.
