Sure, feel free to add me. I'm happy to help when I can, though, while my
passion is reporting LyX bugs, I have a time-consuming side-job (pre-tenure
physics professor) that pays the bills. ;) It took half a year to post this
bug, and a few weeks after I noticed the \propto issue.
I'll leave this in my inbox and eventually get my Ubuntu and Mint boxes in
the same room. One's a laptop at least!
I can get the build info for the Mint LyX:
