I verified the bug with the original version, and then patched and compiled, tried again. I found the slowness to be much worse, and couldn't be cleared by resizing (I think some gain was had by copying from within LyX). What's worse is the un-patched (installed) version was then hideously slow and wouldn't speed up either! I don't know what was going on, even repainting the window decorations was slow. Bringing up the citation dialogue took a second or more to paint everything!! But then I recompiled the un-patched version, and it was back to usual, bug intact but workaround succeeded. Then I compiled the patched version, and it was fast. I haven't seen it exhibit the bug yet. I'm now going to test the patched version to see if the slowness comes back at all. What could be lingering after the normal closure of the slightly patched LyX? I did notice it failed to reconfigure when I ran the different version, so I guess it is only triggered by a hard-coded version number rather than a hash of the binary etc. > What could could be a problem though is the automatic work area resizing > when a toolbar (mathed or tabular) pops up.

Extra build options, preferred profiling tool? Have fun, Darren
