Please reopen the bug you filed and attach these files. I am honestly
not sure whether to call this a bug or not, but other people will have
views. Possibly we need to add a % after the figure.

Also: You should remove the graphic from the float, since it's not needed.

It would help to have an example file, as small as possible. I was able
to create one of my own that had the effect mentioned.

Hi

   As I said in my original posting I had reported this as a bug:

 When I stated a space was produced, I meant that it was a single
space character.  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.

One suggestion:



If you go to Preferences -> Look & Feel -> Display -> Mark end of paragraphs,



You can see your paragraph ends signs. If there is paragraph end, this 
generates a space between your figures, equations and text etc …



Extra space may not be always due to new paragraph, but worth to try….

Subject: LyX 2.3.0 --- unexpected spacing

Hi,

An unexpected space is produced in the pdf output when:

A displayed equation is followed by a figure float and then by text,
in which case a space appears before the text.

If the float is positioned in a different place, the spacing is as
it should be.

I have reported this as a bug.

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. It's exactly
the same as if the float weren't there, but you had started a new
paragraph. If you put the text into the same paragraph as the float,
then there will be no extra space.
