According to this blog http://telin.ugent.be/~slippens/drupal/?q=textnormal 
\textrm is often used where \textnormal is intended. 

According to the link \textrm  puts text in roman font mode and does not 
inherit from body text font like \textnormal does. Can anyone with a LaTeX book 
confirm this?

In LyX \textrm is inserted when choosing "Normal text mode" from the maths 
toolbar. 

When using the shortcut  command-m or alt-m-m  surprisingly  \mbox is created 
which again  has  a slightly different behaviour I believe... such as 
preventing text from being broken. 

I think \textnormal should be the default with the short cut as well as in the 
toolbar and that \mbox should also be made accessible through the toolbar. 

Chris.
