Georg is right, the LyX core is not ready for Multiple-view. There's too much that needs to be re-designed. So either someone steps up and cleanup that mess by putting the rows calculation outside of the Buffer or we disable the multi-windows feature.
I would be really disappointed to see mutlti-view gone. It is the biggest feature I would like to have in 1.5.x. You see, if it does not come with 1.5.0, then it will be too big for 1.5.x and we have to wait till 1.6 ... People who knows lyx-core better please help. Bo
