The treatment of \jobname in LyX 2.1.2 has changed compared with 2.1.0 -- although I'm having to rely on memory for that claim since I've uninstalled 2.1.0. But some latex code that worked with 2.1.0 no longer works with 2.1.2.

If you create a LyX document, call it test.lyx, and in it in ERT write \jobname then compile to pdf, the pdf contains the word "test". However if you wrap the ERT in a preview inset, it will snap into view with some name like "lyxpreviewbT4684", although the pdf still compiles to display "test". In other words, the preview is giving a false preview. Unfortunately my code which was designed to work in preview insets and used \jobname as referring to the wider document, fails as a result. (Perhaps this is a consequence of the countermeasures to the tabular bug in LyX 2.1.1?)
