The worst part is of course that even if you tweak a text

Is there a different latex package that is more robust than floatftl.sty?
It seems that nothing is really better:

I have to admit that I did not follow closely the thread related to
this. Where can I find examples? Is the problem in the latex code that
LyX generates or something more fundamental?
The problem is in the floatflt latex package. There is nothing
LyX can do - sometimes a "floatflt" float just disappear from output.
You can provoke it this way:
Make a lyx document with some text, a wrapfig figure,
followed by a paragraph of text.
view->dvi
Insert more and more vertical space between "some text" and the
wrapfig figure. update->dvi. Note that the figure disappears at
some point, without actually appearing on the next page.
If it appears on the next page, then you added too much vspace in one go.
Try with less. Even a figure with a single line of text suffers this fate,
taller figures are worse.
Also, don'g get a sectioning command near a floatflt wrap figure.
Other problems are overlapping text and figure that happens sometimes.
