OK, I went read that old thread and did what I think revealed the problem before. I ran LyX.exe with the --verbose flag, which had previously shown repeated runs of kpsewhich. I did not see these on new paragraphs, or deleted paragraphs, or anything, as Enrico had previously reported. Moreover, on activating the Messages Pane as described above, I just keep getting "bibfiles unchanged", which means the cache was valid, which is what is supposed to happen. Can you please see if you're getting the same results or different ones? It could be that the problem is coming from somewhere else now and it just seems familiar. Riki
