Well, I just tried it in the latest development release (soon-to-be
0.10.7) and I do not see any problem (with WYSIWYG tables). However,
it does not seem to me that there have been changes in this respect. A
more elaborate description could help understand what happens...

I can't really say for sure - the bug was reported by a Debian user (using
the Debian bug-tracking system), and I just forwarded it to the Lyx
mailing list (to which I subscribed at the same time :-)

I'll fiddle with my setup at home, and see if I can reproduce the problem,
with and without a "#" outside the table..I'll also contact the user who
reported the problem, and see what exactly was done to cause this. (it
was cjf@nothinbut.net, FWIW.)

(As for whether "#" should appear as "\#" in a LaTeX file or not, I really
couldn't say - that's why I use LyX :-)
