Indeed, the problem occurs also in arrays.
So the solution is to
1. Add support in lyx for setting the space between rows.
This should have a feedback on screen.
2. If the user put [ at the beginning of a row of a matrix,
lyx should automatically add {} before it when writing latex.
3. When reading a lyx file, the math parser should remove {} before [ at the
the beginning of a row of a matrix.
