Folks,
LyX 1.5.0rc1 is a tremendous improvement. But:
Text entry in the middle of a paragraph is unusably slow. My typing
(not great) gets far ahead of the screen. The screen catches up at
a rate of about one character every 1/2 second. Glacial. Cursor
shift using right or left arrows is
equally slow, as is selection using Shift-left or Shift-right.
The problem is much less severe when entering the first characters
in a brand new document.
System: 1.33GHz PowerPC G4 12" PowerBook. Running OSX10.4.10.
Nothing else running except LyX.
This is so bad, it probably should be listed as a bug.
Thanks,
O. Johns
Oliver,
The problem is known (although perhaps not fully understood) and
worked on.
In particular PPC macs may have problems. Check this mail

and the other messages in the tread if you like more info.
If the improved universal version still does not work for you, you
could try a pure PPC-version. Compile yourself or download from
