When using \boldsymbol and the amsmath package is not loaded, LyX uses an home made definition which is flawed. Indeed, if you have a bold super or subscript, the wrong size is used (the same size as normalsize). The bm package is recommended by amsmath and produces the correct result independently from the fact that the amsmath package is used or not. The output of old documents does not change, except for the fact that if you have bold super or subscripts (and amsmath is not loaded) they now have the correct size. Only in this case the output will be different, correcting this bug. Then, the fact that you can get different results, depending on whether amsmath is used or not, is a bug by itself, IMO. -- Enrico
