Probably this is due to LaTeX adding such space to make the pages all be the same length. If you put \raggedbottom in ERT at the start of your file, then this will not happen. But the pages will vary in text size. See e.g. https://latex.org/forum/viewtopic.php?t=4209 https://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/65355/flushbottom-vs-raggedbottom Riki
excessive spacing between sections, quotations etc
2.3.0 on debian stretch. Article class. I love lyx, but for years I have been bothered by its tendency to often put too much blank space between different paragraphs, sections, quotations, etc. Far as I know, the only way to fix this is to insert vertical space, e.g. insert/ formating/vertical space/custom -.2 in or some such. Quite time consuming. Anyone know a better way? John

The file should go into ~/.lyx/ui/, or (more generally) the ui/ subdirectory of whatever your LyX user directory is. Yet more generally, any customization goes into the same subdirectory of your user directory that the original file is in relative to the LyX system directory. So a modified cua.bind would go into ~/.lyx/bind/. Riki
Where to place a modified stdtoolbars.inc file?
I have done a clean install of Ubuntu 18.04 and am restoring some software customizations. I have a modified stdtoolbars.inc file for LyX that I wish to use. Relying on the LyX wiki and a shaky memory of the last time I did this I thought that I could just create a ui sub-directory in my ~/.zotero directory and drop the stdtoolbars.inc file into it. Am I wrong or am I missing out some critical step in the process? Note the stdtoolbars.inc file should work as it is simply a back-up copy of the one I was using before the new OS installation. Running LyX 2.3.2 under Ubuntu 18.04 Thanks. -- John Kane Kingston ON Canada
