Hi,
Document->Settings->Text Layout says that paragraphs can be separated either by vertical space of by indentation. Sure enough, the first paragraph in an environment usually stays unindented. There are two questions:
(1) Why the first paragraph gets indented once in a while?
(2) How to impose rigid control on the behavior of the first paragraph (suppose I want it always indented)?

Edit tab view stays unaffected, but LaTeX output complies.
