insert index entry -- get spurious group closing symbol
Greetings ! I just started trying to use lyx. Compiled from source. Have version 2.0.3 Brand new document. One page long. All defaults. Make a table. Type some names in a column. Then insert index entry after names, using cut and paste of name into index. After doing this I get message about spurious group closing symbol. I look in file, and the nesting of layout and inset is crossed up. I am not doing anything special. This seems like a pretty major bug. Is it just me ? Or are other people having same problems ? I looked in the bug tracker(lyx.org/trac) and didn't see anything recent with this kind of symptom. Thanks much, Bert Douglas

Spurious '}'
Hi All,
Ubuntu 10.04 LTS AMD_64
LyX version - 1.6.5
I have a document at:
http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~mlhim-specs-dev/mlhim-specs/main/annotate/head:/specs/1.0.x/mlhim/mlhim-ref-man-1.0.0-enUS.lyx
That generates an error when exporting to PDF (pdflatex ps2pdf):
First line of error:
Argument of \...@sect has an extra }.
The Description is:
\subsubsection
{DV\_QUANTITY Class \label{sub:DV_QUANTITY-Class}}
I've run across a `}' that doesn't seem to match anything.
For example, `\def\a#1{...}' and `\a}' would produce
this error. If you simply proceed now, the `\par' that
I've just inserted will cause me to report a runaway
argument that might be the root of the problem. But if
your `}' was spurious, just type `2' and it will go away.
Besides not being able to find the offending }.
1) What is usually the cause of this? I do a lot of copy/cut - paste.
2) Exactly where and when am I supposed to type a '2' to make this go
away? The description seems to make sense however I am still missing
something here.
Thanks,
Tim

Spurious DVIPS rendering errors
Hello, using LyX 1.4.4-1 small installer for Windows on two different boxes (W2k and XP, running on very different hardware): When selecting DVI output and viewing embedded .EPS graphic files, YAP asks to temporarily change to the DVIPS rendering method. Sadly, in such DVIPS rendered .EPS graphics spurious but reproducible errors show up in YAP, which just look like a missing needle in a matrix printer output would do. Since generating just postscript output to printer or generating PDF to file output doesn´t show such rendering errors, the problem might just be in YAP or in a converter used for/by YAP. I didn´t check with recent LyX V1.4.3-x yet, because I would have to reinstall it. If of high interest to solve the problem, I could downgrade one machine to LyX 1.4.3-x and report back.
