Ok, here's the clean snippet.
The dispersion studies above have all used
\begin_inset Formula $D=D_{\textrm{mol}}$
\end_inset
, the species' coefficient of molecular diffusion.
Note no space before final $ and no space on next line before the comma.
Read it in, write it out:
The dispersion studies above have all used
\begin_inset Formula $D=D_{\textrm{mol}} $
\end_inset
, the species' coefficient of molecular diffusion.
Note spaces both before final $ and before comma
If, I edit the stuff in lyx before writing anything, then I get:
The dispersion studies above have all used
\begin_inset Formula $D=D_{\textrm{mol}} $
\end_inset
, the species' coefficient of molecular diffusion.
Ie, the space before the $ is still there but the one before the comma has
not reappeared.
If I open, save, close several times, doing nothing else to the document
The dispersion studies above have all used
\begin_inset Formula $D=D_{\textrm{mol}} $
\end_inset
, the species' coefficient of molecular diffusion.
So it appears that the problem really lies in what you do after the
\end_inset command.
