LyX allows space followed by guarded space
Dear list, I don't know if this is a bug or not, I'm new. It is possible, when converting a regular space to a guarded space, that you forget to remove the space. Result is space followed by guarded space. Easy to miss. Does this conflict with the WYSIWYM philosophy? Or is it legal to put all sorts of extra spaces in if they are guarded? Have fun, Darren Freeman
Can't tell if a cross-reference is emphasised
Dear list, I like to put my figure references in bold, as in: Figure 3 But you can't tell if the cross reference itself is bold. I can imagine situations where you only notice days after publication that the number wasn't bold. Is this a missing feature? Have fun, Darren Freeman
xdvi very slow with images
Dear list, I know this isn't LyX specific, but does anyone know why xdvi is painfully slow when magnifying a page with an image anywhere on it? This happened with PNG and EPS figures. When I mean painfully slow I mean *EVEN SLOWER THAN ADOBE ACROBAT*... Now that's slow, especially on an Athlon =) Have fun, Darren Freeman
Cross reference defaults to wrong document
Dear list, I was working on a document, with the user guide open as the second document. When adding cross references to my document, the list of choices were from the user guide. After a while I realised you can click on "buffer" to change to my document. But as a new user, I was confused for quite a while by that. Couldn't the default "buffer" choice be the document I'm inserting the cross-reference into? Have fun, Darren Freeman
Feature request: default units
Dear list, I don't know if this feature is really missing or if I'm just not looking hard enough. I want to be able to select my default units to be cm rather than in. Currently I have to click on "in" every time I change a figure width. Have fun, Darren Freeman
Mouse wheel also closes environment menu
Dear list, As per my post about the mouse wheel closing open file dialogues, it also closes the environment menu. This is going to be a real off-putter as my instinct is to scroll with the wheel... So it takes several attempts to get it right, I can't just "not use the wheel" (feels kinds stupid to know you closed it three times in a row for the same reason too =). Have fun, Darren Freeman
Save from Word as TXT, import, get extra spaces
Dear list, I saved my Word DOC using Word 2000 (nooo!!!), as a TXT file. After importing into LyX, I found that there was an extra space at the end of each paragraph. Possibly due to the extra control code DOS uses with a newline. This just makes me want to go through the whole file and remove these spaces.. I don't want no steenkin' DOS reminders in my shiny new report =) Have fun, Darren Freeman
Menu system pauses for a long time
Dear list, I started seriously using Lyx last night, I'll give one post per issue that I'm raising. Sorry if any are dupes but there's more than I care to look for on Bugzilla =) When you start browsing a menu, say File, then decide to change to a new menu, say Insert, there is an incredible delay before updating to the new menu. Usually it just ignores you and you have to click back on the document and try again. System: LyX 1.2.1 Mandrake 9.0 stock-standard installation This is easy to work around but a real show-stopper when it comes to a new user figuring out how to use LyX!! Have fun, Darren Freeman

What do you mean by "resolution"? I was talking about scaling of the graphics file. I came up with this issue, since scaling only allows integer values (1-100 percent), whereas other percentage values allow unsigned floats (e.g. text%, page%, col% and line%). Yes, I realize that for LaTeX, scaling is different from the other percentage units, but the LyX user doesn't need to be aware of this and may want to scale by a float, e.g. 84.76 percent. Rob.

Graphics: LyX and LaTeX scales have resolution of 1 %.
Hi, The way the LyX and LaTeX scales are dealt with in the graphics code, implies that the scale variable is stored as an integer from 1 to 100. Fractional scales are not possible. Is that OK, or is it too restrictive? Should we allow scaling as "82.47 percent" ? I myself never needed such a precise scaling, but I just wondered for the general case. Rob.

Importing Word document, fail to view DVI
Dear list, After successfully importing one Word DOC file, I found that the start of the LyX file had a box with "\sloppy" in it. No idea what it means. I couldn't view the DVI file, viewer is set to xdvi. The error occurred during the LaTeX run, only a single error was found, and it left a red error box at the very beginning of the document, touching the \sloppy box. After deleting the \sloppy box and the error box, and trying again, no luck. Still an error at the very start of the file. Check the last posts for the system config and what I was doing. Have fun, Darren Freeman
LaTeX file names cannot contain spaces
Dear list, While not an urgent problem, I did fail to import another Word document because the following was printed on the console: ---8<8<--8<-- sorry, LaTeX file names cannot contain spaces. ---8<8<--8<-- Solution is obviously to create a symlink to the file with a friendly no-spaces filename.

Mouse scroll wheel closes open dialogue
Dear list, I found that the mouse wheel would close the file open dialogue box after a few clicks. LyX says it was cancelled by user. Repeat the bug: open the File->Import->Word dialogue, and click the wheel down 3 times. Window closes. Other dialogues are affected, and other combinations of wheel movements work too. But it was consistently 3 down clicks on that dialogue. Same system stats as my last post about 5 minutes ago. LyX version 1.2.1, stock standard Mandrake 9.0 system. Have fun, Darren Freeman

Maybe, but I have only SuSE 8.0.
There seems to be a missing ./config/configure.ac.
Attached one is working here. Copy it to
"."
and to
"./config/."
The command-sequence
./autogen.sh
aclocal
./autogen.sh
rm -f
./configure
make
may do it. (At least, I could compile it that way now)
Kornel
P.S.
it may be sufficient to uncomment the lines #68 to #73 in configure.in

Re: Lyx will not link on MacOsX 10.2 - solution
I made it at last. I give a report as I ought to. First add CPPFLAGS=-no-cpp-precomp CXX=g++2 to the configure file. That is - forcing g++3.1 to emulate 2.95 - I think that this problem will continue on g++3.+ Ronald Florence helped me with that. There was a main bug in the Apple gcc distribution - lacking a lot of headers fo stdc++ - forcing me to forge headers by crosscopying from the 3.1 headers (The limits file and the 3.1/g++v3/ppc-darwin/bits catalog shuld be copied into the 2.95.2 include an so on) and by copying some from the SDLport (www.stlport.org) (for example wchar.h). I also - and thats a bugg in Lyx configuration not taking notice of me having the header - trying to solve that by using a private limits.hpp - wich dosent work. I made a hack in boost/boost/limits.hpp - changing: #include into #include the real solution should be that BOOST_NO_LIMITS was not set- but I didnt understand how to change that. Last - after ./configure - I alter the src/Makefile - changing the LIBS varable to start whith "-lforms -ljpeg". make make install ready. Think I'll make a binary dist.
