Hi folks. It has been a while since I have been on this list, but I thought I'd ask about something I noticed in the last upgrade I made.

I am currently using 2.0.0beta4, which came to me with my latest upgrade of debian testing. I have been using both Lyx and debian testing for aeons.

Anyway, I notice a new behavior that is a little annoying. When I use an empty delimiter in math-mode, previously the empty limit was marked with a dashed vertical line. Now, it is a solid black line. Since one of the common delimiters I use is \.{}\| (that is, empty on left, vertical line on the right) the difference between that and vertical lines left and right requires more judgment than my eyes can handle. With math text being dark blue by default, there is not much difference between a vertical line and an empty delimiter.

So, why was this change made? Can I set some preference to un-make it? I don't really want to downgrade, if I can avoid it. LyX is my default program for writing just about everything.
