Dear LyX developers, LyX mis-handles some text commands in math mode.
Try: * open LyX, * open a new document, * open a math box (CTRL-M) * write \text\AA This looks completely OK (a letter A-with-ring (Å) appears) but fails to compile. The source panel shows the reason - LyX believes this is a math command and hence wraps it in \ensuremath: $\text{\ensuremath{\AA}}$ This wrapping is correct for \alpha or \neq, but not \AA. Other affected commands are \O (Ø 00D8 LATIN CAPITAL LETTER O WITH STROKE) and \textdegree (° 00B0 DEGREE SIGN) A complete discussion and patch are at http://www.lyx.org/trac/ticket/9742 Please review and apply.
