Yes it does.
Jose, is the attached patch correct?
The problem is, that the conversion of Minipage to Box produces the
following LaTeX:
\begin{minipage}[t][1\totalheight][c]{0.67\columnwidth}%
Here, the [c] means: center the text (i.e., the two rows of critters)
vertically within the minipage.
Unfortunately in the Box code, we have used \totalheight as the height
of the minipage. This is as much as saying: "This minipage has a height
of one totalminipageheight." I.e., a tautology. The problem then is that
specifying [c] will _add_ stuff to the content of the minipage
(whitespace on top), so \totalheight _increases_. After that, the text
is centered within this _increased_ totalheight. You see the same
happening when specifying [b], but not with [t] or [s] ("stretch").
I wonder if this should be called a LaTeX bug...
The original mistake is in lyx2lyx. When converting a minipage to a box,
the default innerposition is given as the first one, number 0,
corresponding to [c]. The patch changes this to number 1, or [t].
Sorry for the long analysis. Jose, do you agree?
