 I think this is fixed in http://www.lyx.org/trac/changeset/32570.

Sorry, but I am not a developer, so I cannot really decipher the
content of that page. Do you mean that the bug is fixed in 1.6.5?

Even hitting Cmd+e before typing in the next cell
doesn't change the formatting back to normal. The
only way to return formatting to normal is to select
the newly typed text and then toggle Cmd+e.

 I've no idea what Cmd+e is supposed to do.

Sorry, it's the keyboard shortcut for italicizing/emphasis in Mac. I
do as much as I can with the keyboard :)

Oh, sorry--forgot to mention that this sticky
formatting persists even when cutting and pasting
or copying objects between cells. As in, select an
italicized letter, cut it, paste it to another cell,
and then try to type in a different cell--the text
will be in italics. This doesn't happen outside of
tables.

 As far as I can see, this also happens outside tables.

Nope, not on my system. Steps:

1. Type some text. Select a word and change the formatting to italics,
using keyboard.
2. Copy the selected word, using keyboard.
3. Paste text.

Typing either after pasting or before pasting is not in italics, as
long as this is done outside of tables.

I mean that it is fixed yes, but I'm afraid that my time-travelling 
capabilities are a bit rusty, so it didn't made 1.6.5 ;-)

I reproduced this in LyX 1.6.5 on Win XP (so it's not a platform issue), 
but only when using the tab or cursor keys to move to a new cell after 
cut/paste, copy/paste or select/change style.  If I use the mouse to 
move to the new cell, the character style reverts to its default value.


I couldn't find this in Trac (which means either it's a new bug or I'm 
inept at searching) (or both).  Unless someone else has a better answer 
to this thread, you should probable file a bug report for it.
