Subject: Inconvenient error in Mathed -> core dump
Hello,
If I am sending this message to wrong person, could you kindly forward
this message to
somebody hacking the matheditor in LyX.
I've got yesterday and today core dumps with LyX-1.1.4. on lyx-files.
I can write and save a file nicely.
It also views nicely with xdvi.
However, when i start working again and try to read the file again
i get a core dump. Yesterday the problem occured in a multiline
equation.
Not very much different from textediting a

Comment:
It would be nice to copy latex code directly into the matheditor from a
buffer outside the one in math-mode.
Is there any possibilities to yank text from the textside buffer , into
the matheditor.
It would speed up the corrections of some problems.
Best,
Staffan Ringbom
P.S. The awkward thing is that it is pretty easy to track the errors
with latex, but
I forgot one of the most useful rules. I.e. Always save your file as
*tex before exiting the program.
(Have foud the xtem shell extreamly useful for tracking errors and
polishing latex files and tracking
pequliar errors in the lyxfiles)
