This happens in LyX 1.5.3 Yes, this bug is known: http://bugzilla.lyx.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1130 and fixed for 1.6. Fixing it involved a total rewrite of how LyX stores BibTeX information, though, so we couldn't backport it to 1.5. rh

Re: funny bug in bibliography
Well, it's good to know it's fixed. I'm dying to see the new 1.6 version!
