can somebody confirm?
a cell is like:
-------------------------snip----------------
<row topline="true" bottomline="false" endhead="false"
endfirsthead="false" endfoot="false" endlastfoot="false" newpage="false">
<cell multicolumn="0" alignment="left" valignment="top" topline="true"
bottomline="false" leftline="true" rightline="false" rotate="false"
usebox="minipage" width="0pt" special="">
\begin_inset Text
\layout Standard
\added_space_top 1cm \added_space_bottom 1cm
my minipage
\end_inset
-------------------------snip----------------
which should give an latex export like
\begin{minipage}[t]{4cm}
\vspace{1cm}
my minipage%
\vspace{1cm}
\end{minipage}&
but LyX ignores both vertical spaces!
demo is attached
