Acronym spacing very short

[Former user]

``` When using acronyms with 5 letters or more, the spacing is not enough and this specific line becomes indented. Is there a way to increase the overall spacing so that all lines neatly start at the same

What steps will reproduce the problem? 1. Create two or more acronyms, a short one, e.g. EU for European Union and a long one, e.g. UNCTAD United Nations Conference on Trade and Development 2. create pdf

What is the expected output? What do you see instead? I want European and United to start at the same space/have same indentation there will be an indent for the long acronym only, so that European and United are not exactly underneath one another

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system? lyx 2.0.1; classicthesis 3.0; opensuse 11.3

Please provide any additional information below.

From the manual: https://mirror.foobar.to/CTAN/macros/latex/contrib/acronym/acronym.pdf

“If you pass an optional parameter to the acronymenvironment, the width of the acronym-column will be fitted to the width of the given parameter (which should be the longest acronym). For example, if HBCI is the longest acronym used, the list should start with”

\begin{acronym}[HBCI]

I had to do

\begin{acronym}[PROMETHEUS]

to fix my spacing because the longest acronym in my text is PROMETHEUS.
