I predict you'll fix this problem in 90 minutes.
The first thing you do when reporting a problem with a LyX document is
to submit a "minimal working example" of the malfunction. In other
words, the smallest possible LyX file that displays the symptom.
The way you do that is first, archive your current file, because that's
where you'll begin after solving the problem.
Next, copy your doc to a junk file, cut that junk file in half, and see
if it displays the symptom. If not, try it with just the half you cut
out. Anyway, keep on removing approximately half the text (and also
half the stuff in the document's properties and layout file, if it has
one. You can probably get things down to a 1 paragraph document that's
less than 1K of LyX file, in which you can toggle the symptom by
deleting some of it. By that point the cause will be pretty obvious.
Once you can toggle it on and off, either you can fix it quickly, or
you can send your 1K LyX file to the mailing list and soon get an
answer. I always try to fix it myself first.
Best of luck.
