I wasn't able to reproduce a series of steps, but I did manage to solve the problem. I had specified a fixed width of 5.5in (I can't remember why now), and by deleting this setting the PDF is rendered correctly. > I don't know whether this is really a LyX bug or not, but you can > workaround the issue as follows: > > 1) Put the cursor just before the table and enter in ERT the following: > {\def\hline{\cline{1-4}} > 2) Put the cursor just after the table and again enter in ERT: > } > i.e., a single closing brace that pairs with the first one above. > 3) The table should now typeset correctly. > > The opening and closing braces limit the scope of the redefintion > of \hline to that single table.

Thanks for the suggestion, but I have managed to solve the problem as I've described above. I am curious, though, why you think it mightn't be a LyX bug? Or are you suggesting that even if I'd created the table using LaTeX directly I might have gotten the same result? -- Will
