Do you mean that this particular behavior was never reported, or that there is *no* situation in which Lyx may trigger the long table option automatically? If the latter, then I think I found a bug. It would be pretty hard to replicate, unfortunately. If the former, I'd like to learn how to avoid it. >> 2. But even in that case, why does a long table inside a table float count >> as TWO tables?

That is counts as two tables, is described in the >EmbeddedObjects manual, sec. 2.6.3 "Longtable Captions". > Thanks for the pointer---I didn't know. I had never even thought about what would happen to a longtable inside a float---as you say, it does not make sense. That's probably why it took me a while to understand what was going on.
