A frame box with "no inner box" can be set to width="1 width" meaning that the box will have the width of whatever it contains. This is very nice for making double-border tables, or higlighting a word with a box.

Unfortunately, lyx seems to assume that such a box is a narrow column. Output is ok, but the content on screen is squashed into a horrible narrow column, whenever such a box is applied to wide content. A boxed wide table looks _really_ bad this way. Try and cry.

Suggested fix: Don't let such a box limit the display. Draw the contents as if the box wasn't there, and paint the box around the result. Or a box the width of the lyx window if that is easier. Anything but this . . .
