Lyx is not designed to have an horizontal scroll bar because the text is
supposed to just flow over the side to the next line. Also, usually, if the
formula flows over the side it usually means that it will flow over the side of
the page in the printout.

I fairly routinely encounter problems with math insets that fit on the

preview images), but don't fit on screen when I'm editing them 
(particularly if I have LyX windowed).  Expanding LyX to full screen 
sometimes helps, but sometimes I have real problems editing the tail end 
of a formula (I can cursor there, but it's off-screen so I can't see 
where I am or what I'm doing).


I don't know that LyX needs a horizontal scrollbar, but maybe it needs 
to wrap inset source code better when the cursor is in the inset.
