Hmm - dreadful silence.
I found a work-around: lift all children documents that use text wrap
floats into the parent document. Then things compile without problem.
This is definitely a bug in RC4 (I haven't yet tested it in RC5).

Confirmed in RC4 under Vista, but it only happens if both documents
are open. If I only have the child document open, I can compile it
without a problem, even after the error on the parent document.

I have a relatively simple example to replicate the problem.
Attached is a
zip file containing a parent and child document. If you open the
child
document and compile, it works fine. Then open the parent and
compile, and
it will break. Then if you try to compile the child it is also
broken.
Closing LyX and then relaunching and recompiling the child
document works
again, but compiling the parent sparks the problem again...
Can anyone reproduce this?
I am using LyX 1.6rc4 on Mac.

I have hit a bug in the text wrap float, but am having a hard time
creating steps to reliably reproduce it. The problem shows up
by LyX
shoving the following into the LaTeX output:
\floatstyle{}
\newfloat{}{}{}
\floatname{}{}
This seems to be triggered when I have a text wrap float with
subfigures
in it. It also seems to be tied to using a master/parent
document when the
text wrap float is in the child document.
If I edit the LaTeX file and remove these three commands, then
things
seem to work fine. The problem is that my LyX file is broken.
The only way
to fix it seems to be to switch back to regular floats.
One other thing: after the file "breaks" I cannot insert new
text wrap
floats. When I insert one, I get the "Senseless!!!" caption.
