[Pkg-lyx-devel] Bug#516017: lyx: undefined textcolor used with English / Hebrew documents

Package: lyx
Version: 1.6.1-1
Severity: normal

When mixing Hebrew and English text in a footnote to Hebrew text in an English
document, LyX sometimes writes bad latex; it writes:

\textcolor{foreground}{\small{} }

which fails, since it doesn't define foreground.

I'm attaching a test LyX file which illustrates the problem, and the bad latex
created.

The problem seems to occur when the footnote to Hebrew text is begun in Hebrew,
the keymap is then switched as per the standard configuration via F12, and
English text is then entered.
