When "Single Instance" is checked, LyX opens documents in an already running instance, communicating with it through the "LyXServer pipe". Lacking the one or the other, LyX opens documents in a new instance. If the problem that you experience is that the LyX window is not brought to front even when no other instance is already running, then this is not covered by the patch you reference and must be a quirk of Windows. > But it doesn't work. Just to be sure, you tested on Windows beta1, right? Yep. -- Enrico
