Re: editing problems with 1.6 and mac 10.4 intel

I am using LyX 1.6.0 on OS X 10.5 and I can confirm the behavior of the
Shift-key problem.  If I use the Shift key plus the left and right arrows,
no text is selected, and the arrows simply move left and right as though
Shift were not being held down (same behavior for both left and right Shift
keys).  However, using the Shift key with the up and down arrows works
fine.  This issue is not present in 1.5.6 or 1.5.7.

 not work. in fact, if i have something highlighted, holding shift and moving
 the cursor to add or remove a character from the highlight causes the entire

 is this expected?

 i'm running LyX on a mac 10.4 intel. previous versions of LyX worked great
 and didn't have these odd editing problems. the .bind document hasn't
 changed with the upgrade. are these issues expected there something else i
 can look at or is this a bug?

Do you have some configuration files (especially *.ui and *.bind files) from a 
previous version installed in your user directory? If so, try if removing them 
helps.

Most likely, you have own customized bind- and/or ui-files from old 
versions in your user-directory, which are copied over to the new 
version, but do not properly work there anymore (and the Mac installer 
also told you that).


A radical cure to fix all problems is to delete ALL Lyx-folders (such as 
LyX, LyX-1.5, LyX-1.6, ...) in /Users/yourusername/Library/Application 
Support (or better: move them to some other directory) and run the 
LyX-Installer from the dmg again.


You will have to redo all your prior configurations, but therefore 
things will work. LyX 1.6 was a major release, so quite some things changed.

All works fine here. Above procedure should fix it.

Yes, it is a new feature, Autocompletion. You can turn it off in the 
Preferences.

And that is exactly the problem. The installer is not able to do migrate 
the old bind file to the new format. Trash the old one, and define your 
key-bindings again, this time in the GUI (in Preferences).


There are some small limitations currently in the Shortcuts-GUI, if you

Re: editing problems with 1.6 and mac 10.4 intel

2008-12-03 Thread charles reid
It turns out the issue was, as mentioned, related to a bind file - I was
able to restore functionality by going to LyX  Preferences  Shortcuts and
changing the Bind File field from what it was to mac.bind.  However, if I
simply deleted or moved my old bind file, it didn't fix the problem.  When
the bind file is empty, or when no bind file is specified, it makes the
functionality of the Shift key even worse (i.e. Shift + page down/up, Shift
+ home/end, etc., which all worked before for me, stop working).

editing problems with 1.6 and mac 10.4 intel

2008-12-02 Thread Brian Kidd

hello,

i am a long-time LyX user and big fan of the software. i recently  
upgraded to 1.6 and noticed a few strange editing problems.  cmd- 
return does not break the paragraph (nothing happens and LyX displays  
unknown function in the lower left) and holding down shift to  
highlight characters or words does not work. in fact, if i have  
something highlighted, holding shift and moving the cursor to add or  
remove a character from the highlight causes the entire highlighted  
section to become unhighlighted. one other odd thing is i get a small  
 character on the right side of the cursor. this character appears  
when i'm moving the cursor with the right or left arrow keys or  
sometimes when i'm typing. it seems like a graphical glitch and is  
somewhat annoying. is this expected?


i'm running LyX on a mac 10.4 intel. previous versions of LyX worked  
great and didn't have these odd editing problems. the .bind document  
hasn't changed with the upgrade. are these issues expected there  
something else i can look at or is this a bug?


thanks,
-brian
