It usually does not. The only exceptions I am aware of are {} for TeX
grouping - those _have_ to be paired, there is no point in allowing
unpaired ones, and the suff in DelimInset that translates to
\left...\right. Again, these have to be paired.

Brace grouping in math mode.
Hello,
I use the latest lyx 1.2.0cvs. When in math mode, typing { produces a pair
of raw grouping braces {} instead of a pure brace \{, as in text mode. I
posted this to lyx-devel and was informed that grouping {} are sometimes
needed in math mode. Can someone show me an example where grouping braces
are needed outside ERT?
Thank you,
Joao Luis.
