This is a LaTeX feature/bug that LyX up to now does not work around.

The existence of the "upquote" package shows that at least some consider
the LaTeX default behaviour as problematic.
For LyX, this is even more problematic, as we have usually matching feedback
characters in the GUI which is also the case for double quotes. A consistent
handling of single and double quotes would be welcome.

I don't know what is the "right" output, but the attached document
produces the same exact output since lyx version 1.3. So, if something
changed, it was in changed in latex.

Verbatim and quotes
At present (LyX 2.4 alpha1 on windows 10) the grave ` and the single
straight quote ' (apostrophe) produce "curly" left and right quote
marks in a verbatim environment when compiled to pdf. I would expect
them to be preserved as grave and straight quote. I can get grave and
straight quote by adding \usepackage{upquote} to the preamble -- which
is simple enough to do (now that I know of it), but is the current
"curly" output the right one?
