How do you type things like e.g. in lyx? If you do not take special
care, it is translated to latex merely as "e.g." and therefore creates

Insert -> Formatting -> Inter-Word Space

or you can insert a "protected" space that will prevent line breaks on  
that space if you want.  You can right-click on the space and change  
its type.
