Why the scenario of my previous message does not work?
I am not sure. As I said, I can't reproduce with 2.3.x. The code looks as if it should first look for a local file first, but there are conditions under which it will not do so. Is there anything you do between opening the file and trying to insert a citation? Are you able to compile LyX? If so, there is debugging code we could add, as well. Note that changing the link name to abcdefg.bib probably makes it work for now. Riki
