I had this problem before, then I found a way to control Figure float.
You can control the float by "right click" inside the figure float and
uncheck "use default placement", select either one
"top of page", "bottom of page", "here if possible" or "here definitely".
It behaves similarly in Table float, do the same thing.
If you want to change the default, Document>Settings>Float placement>
uncheck the default system and select other type.
Actually, You can select more than one, but I have not tried. You can find
the explanation in the User Guide 4.6.3
