Versio 1.4.0 segfaults on startup
Hi all. I submitted this to bugzilla (issue 2503), but didn't get any reaction yet. I stupidly installed over the previous version, so I'm LyX-challenged at the moment. Here goes: * I compiled LyX, using the qt frontend. No obviuous problems * When starting, I immediately get a SIGSEGV and a message that I found a bug in LyX. * The backtrace gives: #0 0x08ed6c60 in ?? () #1 0x08b67b54 in __dynamic_cast (from=0x8ed6c60, to=0x8bc8fc0 , require_public=146767968, address=0x78, sub=0x40a2c5ee <__pthread_alt_unlock+14>, subptr=0xe000) at ../../gcc-2.95.3/gcc/cp/tinfo2.cc:282 #2 0x088a75d7 in QLToolbar (this=0x8f10768, [EMAIL PROTECTED], [EMAIL PROTECTED]) at QLToolbar.C:170 #3 0x088a72e6 in make_toolbar ([EMAIL PROTECTED], [EMAIL PROTECTED]) at QLToolbar.C:160 #4 0x087724f0 in Toolbars::add (this=0x8ecb570, [EMAIL PROTECTED]) at Toolbars.C:119 #5 0x08771c0f in Toolbars::init (this=0x8ecb570) at Toolbars.C:44 #6 0x088a3555 in QtView (this=0x8ed6be8, width=690, height=150143088) at ../../../src/frontends/LyXView.h:88 #7 0x0883f7ba in lyx_gui::start ([EMAIL PROTECTED], [EMAIL PROTECTED]) at lyx_gui.C:244 #8 0x08365267 in LyX::priv_exec (this=0x8db9d00, [EMAIL PROTECTED], argv=0xbff51a94) at lyx_main.C:287 #9 0x08363339 in LyX::exec ([EMAIL PROTECTED], argv=0x1) at lyx_main.C:142 #10 0x0806609b in main (argc=1, argv=0xbff51a94) at main.C:47 Is there an issue with Qt-X11-3.3.3 specifically? I didn't see anyone else complaining. Thanks in advance. John

How can I get the date automatically insert in my header?
Today, I realized that a monthly newsletter I was editing had old
hardcoded in my lyx preamble:
\rhead{October 2005}
I tried using
\rhead{\date}
and
\rhead{\date{}}
But now just blank for my right header.
I search the fancyhdr.dvi for "date" but didn't find it.
Any ideas?
\date{} sets the date. \today prints it (including the day as well as
the month and year). If you want an alternate format, have a look at
the LaTeX datetime package.

spellchecker, highlighting, and leftover whitespace
I upgraded to 1.4.1 from 1.3.x. Here are some more things I found: 1) When using the Spellchecker, if I click in document to manually edit then the spellchecker dialog jumps to next mispelled word it finds. I used to be able to edit while the Spellchecker dialog was open. I want to be able to edit the document. The spell checker often gets my attention to how I can rephrase a sentence -- I like how I used to be able to edit on the fly and then continue the spell checking where I am at. 2) Often when I highlight text with pointer or with shift and arrow keys to select content sometimes it loses the highlighting, and I have to select it all again. It can take me over 30 seconds just to select around 25 lines of content. 3) Same as with old LyX, when I attempt to select text that is several screen lengths long, the selection jumps to far and I can't stop selecting where I want. So then I have to start all over again. (Which often brings me back to problem #2.) 4) When I deleted a bunch of selected text by pressing the "Delete" key, then I have white space left over (several inches to entire window full). Old LyX would just automatically remove that empty whitespace. When I use arrow key over the white space, the "environment drop-down" changes to show what type it was and then it deletes one at a time (as I go over it with the arrow keys). If I select using the mouse pointer it does nothing -- it is just a bunch of white space in the middle of my document. Thank you all for your work and support for LyX. It has been a great tool for me. Jeremy C.

branch feature
Hi, We use a lot of branches in modular end user manuals for our equipment. Does anyone have an approach on dealing with "not branches"? E.g., the piece of text applies to every piece of equipment, except for no. 32. As you can imagine it is a bit tedious to repeat the same text in the other 31 branches. If there is no approach, are there any development ideas in this direction? Thinking of that, a single chunk of text that can be used for 'n' branches would be nice as well. Any comments? Maarten

The work around is to enable "cursor follows scrollbar" in the Preference dialog. Abdel.

Yes (although comments should probably not be exported to plaintext anyway, it has been like this also in 1.3). > 5) I don't see "Comment" in my drop-down list of paragraph environments > anymore.

Comment is not in the drop-down list anymore, because it is now a proper inset, not a paragraph style. (Think of commenting out whole paragraphs, including sections, quotations, lists etc.; that was not possible with the old comment feature). HTH, Jürgen > Jeremy C. Reed > > p.s.
