Thanks for testing. I will respond in the kind of first thoughts: > 1.

It actually updates if you click on the inset, so I suppose a prefs apply should trigger a buffer update. > 2.

I don't like "LyX user name", but I am open for good suggestions. In any case, I wanted to differentiate it from "Author", which can differ. > 3.

Perhaps we could > change "All Keyboard Shortcuts" to "Keyboard Shortcuts"? There are two info types here: one only displays the last shortcut in the list of potentially multiple shortcuts assigned to a function, the other displays the whole list. There is no such thing for preferences entries. So "All keyboard shortcuts" means "All shortcuts for the function selected", not "display all keyboard shortcuts in the dialog". I think removing the "all" does not make it more transparent. > 4. If I do Insert > Field > Other, the "immediate apply" checkbox is > enabled. I wonder if it should only be enabled if we are editing an > inset (rather than creating a new one)? It's only enabled if you had it enabled. We save the state for all dialogs.

I get the following warning: > frontends/qt4/Menus.cpp (763): Menu warning: menu entries "Index > Entry|d" and "Field|d" share the same shortcut. OK, this comes from one of the dynamic menu parts.

I think due to this security issue we do not set the user name automatically. Users need to deliberately set it. I don't think it is related to the computer name.
