If you right click the float box a load of options appear - one of which is
Span Columns.
Check this box and all should be ok.
BTW in many cases the float will appear on the page following its position
so if you want it to span two columns on page 2 make sure you place it
somewhere on page 1.

Subject: figure* in LyX?
When working with a two-column document in LyX, is there a way to specify
floats which should span both columns? (i.e., \begin{figure*} in LaTeX)
