If you go back in this thread you'll see that I said that already. > I don't really see the point of having LyX allow 5 spaces > in a row if there is no way you can keep them.

I'm not asking to be able to keep those spaces, I would have used a protected blank if I needed them. What I'm saying is that from the point of view of typing in LyX it would feel more natural (to me) if each keypress were honoured on-screen. Even though it will then be cleaned up later.
