Hello,

maybe it should be a space if it is space. Space is a character just as
any other character. Imagine if LyX would not show the characte "a"
after tex command. The space is AFTER the tex command and not WITHIN the
tex command.

"space" is not a plain character in (La)TeX, 50 "a" give 50 times character "a",
50 spaces give one space. Same for newline.
And did I mention characters "\", "%", etc.?

This space bug, actually breaks the philosophy os WYSIWYM.

I make space after tex command if I need it. And I don't get that what I
see and what I mean.

Raw (La)TeX is *NOT* WYSIWYM. LyX's ambition and hard work of many developers for more that 15 years is precisely to remove any occurrence of TeX code, once named ERT, Evil Red Text (this speaks for iself) in the LyX window.

That said, I think that a mechnism similar to math macros allowing to define user-defined plain commands would be welcome and allow to remove the need of TeX code to avoid e.g. repeating several times the same textual expression in a document.
