Re: Debian 12 and Lyx 2.3.7-1
Dear Peter and Folsk, Although I was able to reproduce the issue with LyX 2.3.7 (the version on the debian repos), I was unable to reproduce the issue with the current LyX 2.4 beta. My guess is this is because LyX 2.3.7 uses Qt5 but LyX 2.4 uses Qt6. As there's no issue with the current development version and it only seems to be happening on fluxbox, I don't think this problem is a top priority for the developers. To use LyX 2.4, it seems you will need to compile it yourself, but I wrote a simple sh script that should do everything for and install lyx to /usr/local/bin/lyx (v 2.3.7 will still be accesable at /usr/bin/lyx): su -c 'apt-get install libhunspell-dev libenchant-2-dev libaspell-dev bc gettext libmagic-dev make qt6-base-private-dev qt6-base-dev qt6-svg-dev g++' wget https://lyx.mirror.garr.it/devel/lyx-2.4/lyx-2.4.0~beta5.tar.xz tar -xvf 'lyx-2.4.0~beta5.tar.xz' cd 'lyx-2.4.0~beta5' mkdir build cd build export CXXFLAGS='-Wno-deprecated-declarations -Wno-c++20-compat -Wall -O2 -U_FORTIFY_SOURCE -D_FORTIFY_SOURCE=3 -fstack-protector-strong -funwind-tables -fasynchronous-unwind-tables -fstack-clash-protection -flto=auto' export LDFLAGS='-flto=auto' ../configure --enable-qt6 --without-included-boost --with-aspell --with-hunspell --with-enchant --enable-build-type=rel make make install — Isaac Oscar Gariano From: lyx-users on behalf of Peter Sent: Tuesday, 7 November 2023 9:04 AM To: lyx-users@lists.lyx.org Subject: Re: Debian 12 and Lyx 2.3.7-1 OK, created a new Virtual Box VM, Debian 12.2.

Re: Shortcuts under MacOs Sonoma
Dear Daniel, I personally am not familiar with MacOS, but it sounds like LyX isn't finding your files correctly. If you go to Help → About LyX, it will list a folder as "User directory", Does that folder contain the bind/user.bind file you want to use? — Isaac Oscar Gariano From: lyx-users on behalf of Daniel CLEMENT via lyx-users Sent: Tuesday, 7 November 2023 6:49 AM To: LyX Subject: Shortcuts under MacOs Sonoma Dear list members, I have recently upgraded my MacBook to MacOs 14 “Sonoma” last week (right from 12). LyX (2.3.7) was one of the main apps that I have tested; it appeared to work well at first glance. But only today I have noticed a couple of issues, mainly shortcuts, but possibly related: 1) I’ve lost my shortcuts (sigh!) My shortcut file is still there. I have reloaded it for good measure, but no luck. So, no Cmd-O to open a file, Cmd-D for displayed maths and so on… (-> “unknown function” in the taskbar). 2) Then I tried to reconfigure, but I got an error message like: “reconfigure failed - implicit classes will be used but maybe LyX won’t work normally”. 3) I happened to try and open a file coming from LyX 2.1, but I got: “ comes from an old LyX version, but the LyX2LyX script could not convert it”. Doesn’t all this look like a Python issue? I don’t want to rush into any hazardous workaround… What would you suggest?

slow cursor speed
I’m near the point that I have to abandon LyX after using it religiously as an academic since 2000 (when it was kLyX-0.12). That makes me *very* sad. The problem is that as a paragraph gets longer, the cursor gets slower. The paragraph doesn’t have to be very long (e.g. a few sentences) for this to be a significant issue. A single paragraph of plain text could be the only thing in the document. Thanks to those who have helped previously but still no progress. Scouring forums, I see others with similar problems but no obviously pertinent solutions. Many, many thanks for any further advice. What I have tried: 1. Full reinstall including deleting prior LyX-2.3 folder in Application\ Support 2. Reconfiguring 3.

On a closer look, it seems that refstyle doesn't work with spaces in label IDs. Other mechanisms do work. So either omit spaces or use prettyref instead of refstyle (Document > Settings > Document Class. Also, please file a bug report.

Spaces in labels work AFAICS. Special characters are automatically replaced by LyX. I think a minimal example file showing the problem would help us helping. -- Jürgen -- lyx-users mailing list lyx-users@lists.lyx.org http://lists.lyx.org/mailman/listinfo/lyx-users
