2005-07-22 Thread Kevin W Bowman
Hello, It's been a little while since I've used Lyx. I've just installed it running Tiger 10.4.2. The first odd behavior I'm seeing is with the Insert->Math->DisplayFormula. Once I've issued the command, and get the red/blue box, I type the letter d and the box goes the left corner of the
