Hi As I said in my original posting I had reported this as a bug:
Riki Heck said (Sun, 25 Mar): > It's not a bug. The reason for this behavior is that the float occupies > its own paragraph, and you start a new paragraph after it.

This appears to be inconsistent with the new paragraph explanation, which I would have expected to produce a paragraph indent not a single space character. Baris Erkus (Sun 25 Mar) suggested the use of a visible paragraph end symbol. Thank you for your suggestion. I have been using these for some time and find the symbol to be very useful. I can confirm that there was only the float between the display equation and the text which was intended to follow the equation immediately with no indent of any sort.
