Good question! Other applications I think basically invert the background colour under the letter after the cursor? In any case, I don't know the answer to the problem here, I've not looked at the source code for LyX in years and I wouldn't know about the impact of any potential solutions on portability. Therefore, it could be that the problem is essentially unsolvable (given the potential effort required, that is). However, it _is_ the one thing that does bother me about the LyX interface, albeit not enough to make me want to use anything else. I use LyX all the time and in general it's absolutely fantastic! cheers, eric -- Eric S Fraga, Dept Chemical Engineering, UCL, [EMAIL PROTECTED] .ooo.ooo.ooo..o...o...o....oo..ooo.oo...o.....o.o....ooo.ooo.o...
