Can anyone suggest why I cannot insert a drop-cap in the attached file?
In the attached file, and an old file, with \usepackage{letterine} in
the preamble and the "initials" module loaded the Insert commands
appear but faded out if I have the cursor in a paragraph with a drop-cap.
If I start a new paragraph the insert commands disappear from the
Insert list.
However, both compile nicely.
In the minimum example I simply copied a drop-cap from my old file,
probably produced with LyX 2.2.0 or 2.2.1
I am probably missing something basic but I don't have a clue where to
look.
Thanks

I suspect the reason the insertion commands are disabled when the cursor
is in the paragraph with the drop-cap is that the developers of the
package didn't expect (and/or didn't want) you to try inserting a
drop-cap mid-paragraph.
As for starting a new paragraph, the new paragraph will default to the
Standard Environment. Switch it to the Initial environment using the
environment selection list, and the insertion commands will reappear.
