Now I'm not exactly worried by this, but the mathed output has changed in the last week or so:
diff -u old.lyx new.lyx -\begin_inset Formula $J_{\mathrm{xa}}$ +\begin_inset Formula $ J_{\mathrm{xa}}$ \end_inset , -\begin_inset Formula $J_{\mathrm{ya}}$ +\begin_inset Formula $ J_{\mathrm{ya}}$ It seems to me that the extra whitespace is probably an oversight... Angus
