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?
