Probally you highlited the text and past it into lyx, right ?
That is another strange thing Whenever you highlight text with several consecutives
spaces it pastes only one space.
Anyway, I am attaching another lyx file. Try that one.

Ok, here it is:
The patch does the correct thing, because lyx stores every other space internally as
protected spaces.
When in latex mode, *if* the user want a protect space he has to type
a tilde char, which is stored internally as a tilde char (not as a protected space).
So, spaces are translated to spaces (wether stored internally as spaces ot protected)
and tilde chars are translated to tilde chars.
Otherwise the user can never get control when in latex paragraph.
The attached file demonstrates that clearly.
