However, with Document>Settings>Text Layout>separate paragraphs by [*] indentation, LyX puts too much space around lists because it increases \parskip without correcting dependend values. This is a known bug: http://www.lyx.org/trac/ticket/4796 cf. "Obsolete commands and packages": In case you prefer some additional space between paragraphs to paragraph indent for marking the start of a new paragraph (‘zero paragraph indent’) do *not* use \setlength{\parindent}{0pt} \setlength{\parskip}{\baselineskip} \parskip should not be used as it will also modify settings for list environments, table of contents, etc., and headings. -- http://dante.ctan.org/CTAN/info/l2tabu/english/l2tabuen.pdf Workaround: Select: separate paragraphs by indentation in LyX and do the configuration of the output in the LaTeX preamble (e.g. with package parskip, nccparskip or using and configuring one of the KOMA-script or memoir document-classes.
