I may be completeky off the problem, but I found once that changing the
style of a text (using the Character or Paragraph menu) and then making it
a section could lead to severe misbehaviors (infinite latex run e.g.)

AFAIR, mauve column are used by lyx to indicate latex "minipages". As a
minipage may be really "strongly" formatted, this should be the point.
Try  (or something like this) menu.

Cheers

Re: Odd printing behavior... mauve colons

I mentioned originally that I noticed a "mauve colon" on the left side of
the viewed area in lyx.  I have rexamined my printed output (and dvips shows
the same, FWIW) and note the following, which must be linked to this:

The first line of the document prints on its own page (the first page).

The second page runs off the bottom, below the page number.  This is the
area in which I have made modifications to the original exam material (which
was read in as an ascii file).

The third page shows unmodified text.

The mauve colon actually should have been described as colons before Every
line in the section which I modified, which runs off the page.  There is no
colon in the left margin of the first line.  There is no colon next to the
lines found on the third page.  Nothing but colons in between.

I have a feeling that I somehow marked and formatted the entire section in
some way to force it to act as a single unit, including making it literally
run off the printed page.
