We are aware of this problem, but it seems to be hard to fix.

Duplicate references in nested figure and table floates

[Samuel Tan]

Hello LyX developers!

Firstly, thank you for such a great product. I appreciate all the work you
guys put into this application. Here is the problem. I'm not sure if it's a
bug. I couldn't find any mention of it online, so thought I might as well
inform you. Maybe it's just bad practice.

Following the method described in the LyX documentation on how to get
figures side-by-side, I went and put a table and a figure side by side in a
figure float, and referenced them. When I later cross-referenced, it would
give the table as table 1a and the figure as figure 1a in a formatted
reference (both in figure 1). If I go on to create a subsequent table float
and reference it, it comes out as table 1.  If I then nest some tables
inside this float and reference those, the references work and come out as
another table 1a, the document is compiled to pdf/dvi etc without
complaining, and hyperref in PDF Properties of Document Settings works
too, linking to the correct figure/float. The only indication that
something might not be right is all the font colour in the float handles
turning red.

Is there a way to fix this? Maybe for different nested floats the formatted
reference should be something like figure 1: table 1a and table 1: table
1a.

Cheers,
Samuel

This will  definitely be a lot easier for people to figure out if you 
can post a minimal example file. There are too many ways to do this 
right, and too many ways to do it wrong.
