Hi all,

Now that 2.0.0 tries to guess the number of numbered equations, rather than 
than 
displaying (#) as 1.6.x does, should I file bugs in trac for the cases it gets 
wrong? 

Sorry I didn't spot these earlier in the cycle, I normally have instant preview 
turned on (where equation numbering has always been random), so I only found 
out 
about the new feature from bug #7493.

Here are the bugs that I've spotted:


* In report, book and maybe other classes, equations are numbered with no 
suffix 
( (1), (2), ...) up until the first \chapter, after which they are numbered per 
chapter ( (1.1), (1.2), ...). In LyX they always show up with no suffix 
regardless.

* If a child document has numbered equations, then equations in the master 
document do not skip at all to take this into account. The behaviour of the 
equation numbers in the child document is particularly strange: every key 
stroke 
increments them all!

* If the user has an explicit \tag or \tag*, then this is ignored. At the very 
least, the numbering should never skip because of an equation with an explicit 
tag in it. Better would be if the tag is displayed (and, even better, edited!) 
in place of the equation number.

* Subequations, and thus equations after them, are not numbered correctly. 
Since 
subequations currently require ERT or a custom module, this is an enhancement 
request rather than a bug (but has support on the user vote page).
