Dear Erez,

thank you for your quick reply. I am afraid it is not that simple,
because what you suggested is just what I try to do with the following:

\ce{H+ + OH- <=>> H2O}

\ce{...} is a macro of the mhchem package.

So be so kind and tell me if you can do Ctrl-m Ctrl-m and type in the
macro mentioned above without the cursor jumping out of the mbox when
entering a space.

I can do what you said with simple text, but not with the macro above. I
am using. If it works for you, do you use LyX 1.5.5, perhaps on Ubuntu
8.04?

Yours Tobias Hilbricht
