Yes, I noticed that. I've filed a bug about it.

        <pre wrap="">Hi.

I think the reason for the problem Frank reported is that LaTeX discards
leading space in some cases. So, if you just put a horizontal fill, with
nothing ahead of it, LaTeX ignores it. The solution is to "protect" this space.
There's a checkbox for that in the dialog. Note that this will work if you just
use a linebreak instead of a new paragraph.

      Thank you. This worked perfectly.<br>
      <br>
      However, there is an awkwardness in how this is shown in LyX.<br>
      Doing what Riki said shows, to the left of the citation, a small
      glyph producing the horizontal fill.  The citation appears to be
      on the left but prints correctly to the right.  At other times a
      horizontal fill shows as a horizontal line and the text moves to
      the right.<br>
