Try it with Intro.lyx, and it looks odd. not sure what you mean. another thing is that this is hardcoded so it's probably not going to change soon. then again, we could still consider the following: > in fact, i would drop this navigate menu. the navigation > panel is much more convenient. > we could think of a adding a navigate toolbar with buttons > for next section, note, table and the bookmarks... .... > But then let us call the Note-submenu something different (Comment ?). > Because the "Greyed Out" does show in the output.
