Uh oh.
I actually did my testing using IEEEtran.cls not the article.cls as
mention above. It would seem that IEEEtran.cls is broken because as
Juergen's just arrived email says article works. I've just tested book
and report and am moving on to a few other classes to see just how broken
other things are.
The LaTeX default should be the same as the lyxrc entry for
default_papersize anyway. So this shouldn't cause any problems... should
it?
