I've imported a TeX document that worked great under MikTeX/TeXCenter on
winders. It has a big table that has to be printed landscape and has
footnotes so it has to be in a minipage. So, what worked previously was
\begin{sidewaystable}
\caption{A Table}
\begin{minipage}{0.77\linewidth}
\begin{tabular}{ m{1.22in} d{3.2} d{3.2} d{3.2} m{0.5in} m{0.5in} d{3.2}
d{3.2} d{3.2}}
...
\end{tabular}
\label{table:a_table}
\end{minipage}
\end{sidewaystable}
LyX converted this to
%
\begin{sidewaystable}
\caption{A Table}
\end{sidewaystable}
%
\begin{minipage}[c]{0.77\linewidth}%
\begin{tabular}{m{1.32in}d{3.2}d{3.2}d{3.2}>{\raggedleft}m{0.7in}>{\raggedleft}m{0.7in}d{3.2}d{3.2}d{3.2}}
\hline
...
which, of course, doesn't work at all since the minipage and tabular are
outside the sidewaystable now.
Can you please report this as bug in
http://www.lyx.org/trac/wiki/BugTrackerHome
and attach there a LyX example file?

Can you please provide a LyX example file?
thanks and regards
