Can someone file a bug report about this? The footnote-insert LFUN
should be disabled in floats if it doesn't work.
Surely there is a solution to this problem, though. The footnote package
seems to address some issues like this.

If any possible it'd be the best way not to use footnotes in captions
-- if you have to I prefer this way:
set the footnotemark in the caption via
\setcounter{footnote}{\value{footnote}}\protect\footnotemark
set the footnotetext via
\footnotetext{This is the footnote text.}
unfortunately this has to be set on the correct page (the page used
by LaTeX for the float) by hand, which means you might have to
change this at the very end and you cannot rely on LaTeX to do
everything...
As far as I know there is no other way to get it working the expected
way. All other options are something like putting footnotemark and
footnotetext in a minipage which is quite sure not what you wanted.

I was afraid something like that would happen. So it's probably an
issue with captions and footnotes. Someone here will know what to do.

I don't know if this is a known bug or not, but when I tried to
insert a
footnote inside a graphics float's caption, the file won't compile and
give:
Argument of [EMAIL PROTECTED] has an extra }.
Paragraph ended before [EMAIL PROTECTED] was complete.
I'm pretty sure this isn't a LyX bug but a LaTeX limitation. It may
be that \footnote needs to be \protected in this context, in which
case it is a LyX bug. So you might try putting "\protect" in ERT
immediately before the footnote, and see if that helps. If not, then
it's a LaTeX issue.
