Issue with Document Settings
I don't know whether this constitutes a bug; I suspect the fix is easy. In this window: [cid:433d4c3f-6422-49b7-abbf-67208105bf3d] No adjustments that I make to the window dimensions seem to be able to get the Scale (%) fields wide enough for me to see what is in them. I did not have this problem until today, so I have no idea what triggered it. This is version 2.4.

Master/Child/Macro/Bibliography issues with 2.4
I am having problems with LyX 2.4 that are so great that I don't even know where to begin to sort them out. I have a LyX file which contains all the math macros I use regularly. I have included (with \input) it at the very top of another document which is a LyX master document, containing only a title page, toc, lof, references to five child LyX documents (chapters. and here I used \include), and bibliography (thru natbib). I am using svmono as the class file. I used to have references to the macro file at the top of the five chapter files too, but this was apparently causing compilation problems, so I removed them. But because the child (chapter) files were referencing the master document, which still contained the macro file as a child, they could still see the macros (bravo: that is exactly how it ought to work). Yesterday, when I left school, this was working fine. I saved everything and returned this morning and now nothing is working (this is not the only problem I am having, but I can only deal with one at time). Now, when I try to compile the child documents individually they give LaTeX errors saying that the macros are not defined. But the macros still work inside of LyX—it's LaTeX (well, technically, XeTeX) that is causing the problem. If I put the references to the macro file back in the child documents, they compile individually (if I take out bibliography citations—this is one of the other problems), but then the master document will not compile. It doesn't even given an error—it just goes forever into compile mode (wheel on task bar spins indefinitely). So to recap: Macro file and chapter files included in master file with (\input and \include, respectively) -> master compiles, chapters do not, but strangely, the math macros function correctly in chapter documents even though they do not individually include the macro file. It is only when compiling that XeTeX says it cannot find the macros. Macro file included in chapter and master documents and chapters included in master -> chapters compile (with bibliography citations removed) but master will not. I guess I may as well include the bibliography problem here because it may be related. In LyX, the chapters can "see" the bibliography entries just by referencing the master document if there is a \printbibliography command somewhere in the master. I can see all the included entries when adding a citation and select what I want, just as it should work. But when I compile the chapters individually, I get "citation undefined" errors in spite of this. Compiling the master (if I remove the macro references from the chapters) works fine. I have to believe that I should be able to include references to macros and bibliography in the master only and still be able to compile the chapters individually, especially since that functionality exists inside of LyX. Only when trying to compile do problems come up. And I could have sworn all this was working yesterday, so I am at a loss as to what happened. How is this supposed to work? One last thing. Yesterday, I had the bibliography settings as Style Format -> Biblatex (natbib mode) and Processor -> default and it was compiling. First thing today, having changed nothing, I got biber errors. I assumed that biber was the default processor and changed it to bibtex. Now it works. But I had previously used the aforementioned settings religiously without error. Thanks!

Re: lyx-users Digest, Vol 242, Issue 1
It returns nothing, but that is what I expected. 2.3.7 compiled the Customization document just fine and I have not uninstalled anything since I installed 2.4. Evidently, suffix.sty is part of the Bigfoot package. I installed it and everything is fine again. Did the documentation in Customization change such that a package is required now that was not required before?

Keyboard shortcut binding issues
Hello! I just upgraded to 2.4, something I have been looking forward to doing for quite a while. I am having a minor problem that may be a bug. I had added quite a few additional keyboard shortcuts which LyX stored in a user.bind file in the bind subdirectory of the user directory. The old version of LyX apparently knew about this file and the default cua file simultaneously. In the new version, it appears to be one or the other. When the bind file is set to cua (as it was in 2.3.7) none of the new shortcuts work. But here's the kicker: those new shortcuts are visible under Preferences -> Editing -> Shortcuts. So LyX seems to see the file, it just does not allow me to use those shortcuts when the bind file is set to cua. If I change it to user, which I did not need to do before, the new shortcuts work, but none of the default ones—like copy and paste—do. I can probably merge the two files into the user.bind file as a workaround, but is this a bug or is there something I am forgetting to do? Thanks!

search math macros
I've been using LyX for a number of years. Because I was reusing a lot of math macros, I started putting them in a separate file and loading that file at the beginning of each document with an input statement. Over time, the list has grown and I wanted to search for a macro to see how I had defined it (probably because I had since found a better way). But no configuration in Advanced Search that I have tried will allow me to search math macros. Am I missing something or is this a feature that might be added in the future? Thanks!

Have LyX load fontspec automatically with no-math option
Hello! Is there a way to get LyX to load fontspec with the no-math option from within LyX. I know that it loads fontspec automatically when I check the Use non-TeX fonts box in Document Settings -> Fonts and that is what I want. But I want to handle math entirely separately. I have found a workaround by putting the commands in the preamble, but that causes other problems because load order is important.

Re: XeTeX - Load packages before fontspec
I can see a very distinct reason for wanting to be able to modify the LyX-
generated preamble directly (without having to use a separate editor). I'm
using MathTime Professional II fonts and I want to use it in conjunction
with the bm package so that I have access to the bm versions of the \bm and
\hm modifiers. In order for this to work, \usepackage{bm} _must_follow_
\usepackage{mtpro2} and with LyX generating \usepackae{bm} in its own
preamble, the second \usepackage{bm} in my preamble is rendered useless. I
see this as much more of a hindrance than a feature.
