In 2.1.x, because of a bug in our validator code, we allowed negative values to be input into some document settings. This bug has been fixed for 2.2.0dev but what that means is that if you open such a document with LyX 2.2.0dev, you will not be able to save any changes to document settings unless you correct the negative values and it is not obvious to the user that this must be done. I can imagine this causing some confusion.
For more details, see: http://www.lyx.org/trac/ticket/10095#comment:2 I'm not sure that we want to do anything for 2.2.0, but I wanted to check with the list to see the thoughts of others. For example, we could change the validators in page margins to allow negative values, which seem to work as intended with LaTeX. Or we could provide a warning when creating the document settings dialog that explains why the "OK" button is disabled. Scott
