I made up a minimal example which shows
1. both slanted: Anagallis arvensis. index: Anagallis arvensis
2. slanted/normal: Anagallis arvensis. index: Anagallis arvensis
3. case 2, but index box changed with ctr e: Anagallis arvensisindex:
Anagallis arvensis
The result (on page 4) is:
Namensverzeichnis
Anagallis arvensis, 2, 3 are upright
Anagallis arvensis, 1 is slanted
although 1 and 3 are \emph in the index box.
just to clarifie what I ment in the following.
by the way, I had forgotten, that the first A in the LyX Menu indicates
\emph, which helps to see whether a character (eg a space) is \emph.
