Hello,
First of all, I'm still fairly new to Latex, so please excuse me if this
doesn't make sense. I'm using LyX to write a thesis with lots of
programming code snippets. I'm using indentation to separate paragraphs
and LyX correctly keeps the first paragraph after a title, an
enumeration, a figure, etc. not indented. A paragraph after LyX-Code are
not indented, and it makes sense because the paragraph can be easily
told apart form code.
Program listing insets doesn't follow the same rules. Paragraphs after
listing insets are indented even if they are conceptually identical to
the LyX-Code environment. My questions are: Why does this happen? And,
is there a way to globally prevent the indentation of paragraphs
following listing insets?
I've attached an example showing the different behaviours.
Best regards and thanks,
Álvaro M.

\begin_layout Section
LyX-Code vs.
code listing insets
\end_layout
\begin_layout Standard
This is the first paragraph.
It is not indented as it comes after the section title.
\end_layout
\begin_layout Standard
This is the second paragraph.
It is indented so you can distinguish it from the previous one.
\end_layout
\begin_layout LyX-Code
This is LyX-Code.
It stands out from the previous paragraphs.
\end_layout
\begin_layout Standard
A paragraph after LyX-Code is not indented.
It is just the same as it would come after an enumeration (itemize), for
example.
\end_layout
\begin_layout Standard
\begin_inset ERT
status open
\begin_layout Standard
\backslash
begin{lstlisting}[language={C++}]
\end_layout
\begin_layout Standard
This is lstlisting added by hand with an ERT.
\end_layout
\begin_layout Standard
It is just as LyX-Code but better.
\end_layout
\begin_layout Standard
\backslash
end{lstlisting}
\end_layout
\begin_layout Standard
This is how a paragraph after lstlisting would appear if it would have been
dealt with as it is done with LyX-code.
It is not indented, as it stands out from the code (really?).
\end_layout
\end_inset
\end_layout
\begin_layout Standard
\begin_inset listings
inline false
status open
\begin_layout Standard
This is a lstlisting code added through an inset.
\end_layout
\begin_layout Standard
LyX surrounds this with
\backslash
begingroup and
\backslash
endgroup,
\end_layout
\begin_layout Standard
and creates a new paragraph after this one.
\end_layout
\end_inset
\end_layout
\begin_layout Standard
This is indented.
LyX-Code behaves differently than code listing insets.
Isn't this a contradiction to the User Guide?
\end_layout
\begin_layout Quote
Only a paragraph following another paragraph gets indented.
