That's what I'd try to figure out once I know what the problems in 4.5 and 4.6 are. The problems being present only on Mac does not make it easier for me, though... > Should I try this? > And what's the release plan for 4.7? Even if I knew a date the answer would be "Releases are announced when they are out" ;-) I am sort of waiting for it myself. In any case I would not expect much changes (if any at all) in the areas that are interesting for LyX before 4.7.0 from now on, so for all practical reasons 4.7.0 beta1 should be as good or as bad as the final from LyX's point of view. There have been changes to the font handling in 4.7 cycle, also regarding the x positioning of glyphs. I've been bitten by one bug there myself, but this has been fixed again in the mean time. Maybe someone who knows how to reproduce the 4.5/4.6 problem could indeed try 4.7.0 beta and see whether it makes a difference? Andre'
