Hi Steve,

I can reproduce (back to 2.1.0). Although I never use this feature, my
first impression is that I'm surprised by this behavior also.

You might want to open a bug report on

  https://www.lyx.org/trac

to make sure this issue is not forgotten about.

In case you haven't considered it, I would suggest putting all of your
citations in a .bib file.

Thanks for your feedback!

Scott
