Package: lyx
Version: 1.6.2-1
Severity: normal
When inserting a web link, LyX will not take care to wrap it or format
it some other
way in the resulting document. In effect, in the pdf document the link
will cross
the boundary of the the text area.
Example of the problem in the attached lyx file and the resulting pdf.

Ok after all this is not a bug in LyX but a general limitation about the
how and when LaTeX is able to break lines. Kudos to Uwe Stöhr who took
some time to take a look and explain it.
In general LaTeX can only break on spaces and "-". The general seperator
to signal LaTeX where it can break words, "\-", cannot be used in Hyperlinks.
You can use some "\\" magic in the Hyperlink names to force a line break or
use ERTs with \href.
An example document from Uwe is attached. Hope that helps.
