LyX 1.0.3: a bug report
Hi,
I am a now steady user of LyX, primarily for scientific publications and
presentations, but also for business correspondence and even reading
other people's TeX files. I am using LyX on Linux and SGI IRIX
platforms. Here is a summary of what I still find annoying with LyX
1.0.3 and perhaps you will find a way to fix it in a future version.
1) When selecting a file in the File/Open box, double-clicking on the
file name is very finicky, it seems to expect me to double-click
extremely quickly.
2) When I am in text mode and want to put the cursor inside a wide
displayed equation by clicking on it, the cursor sometimes goes after
the end of the equation and I'm still in text mode.
3) The cursor keys (- and -) don't always do what I expect when I am
in math mode. For example, type math-greek phi, then math-insert _, then
twice cursor left: The cursor ends up at right of the subscript math
box.
4) When editing math, cursor up and down sometimes produces unexpected
effects. Essentially the cursor only goes up the fraction and not down;
and also it goes up the subscript only from the left side of the
subscript, but not from the right side. It's very disconcerting to
suddenly drop out of the math mode into a different line when what you
want is to edit a subscript.
5) Two RevTeX glitches when exporting to TeX: first, the \documentclass
line should really be \documentstyle, because the stupid RevTeX is still
Latex 2.09 although its correct processing with Latex 2e requires a .cls
file. Second, when using boldface in math, for example a boldface "x",
followed by normal "+y", which should be the TeX code "{\mathbf x} + y",
LyX incorrectly generates the TeX code "\mathbf{x} + y", which results
in both x and y and whatever follows being typesent in boldface.
Best regards and thanks for your great work.

I think this is due to some limitations in XForms, anyway I have added
a call to fl_set_object_dblclick int filedlg.C. This sets the dblclick
timeout, I have set it to 500 ms (default is 400ms) so you might
expect some nicer behaviour, or you can tune this to your own liking
(but then you have to recompile yourself)

LyX has its own RevTeX wrapper so lyx shoult export documentclass as

LyX 1.0.3: a bug report (one more bug)
Hi, Forgot bug #6: 6) When deleting symbols in math mode, subscripts and superscripts are not always correctly drawn on the screen. For example, if I type x^2y^2 and then want to change y by z, I go back with the cursor to delete y and then the second superscript "2" vanishes from the screen too, however when I type "z" instead of "y", the superscript is back. This can also lead to double superscripts or subscripts (a TeX error) which are not drawn on the screen. Best regards, - Serge

I believe the second problem isn't a revtex-specific problem. Mathed has
"issues" with boldfacing which will probably be fixed in 1.1. Also, as Lars
said, LyX does use documentclass for revtex. LyX comes with a revtex.cls
file which basically just calls revtex.sty in compatibility mode. RevTeX4
has been released in beta, and I started working on a layout file for it but
have been very lazy.

As far as the requirement for hand-editing from style to class, as has been

No, I can't create dvi anywhere. If I make TeX read the .cls file that

The problem is probably that lyx automatically puts LYXDIR/tex/ into your
TEXINPUTS environment variable. (LYXDIR is something like

This is only run when you close a buffer.
So a problem with destroying tmpdir might arise when reloading an

I'm aware of that effect: If I close a file and reopen it again, then I have to close my running Xdvi too, because it is useless now, when using update-dvi. If I start Xdvi again it works ok. But there is no mystery. LyX creates a new tmp-directory (as I can see with /bin/ls) and starts working there. The update-dvi operation creates the new dvi file in the new tmp-dir. latex doesn't delete and recreates the dvi file, the contents of the dvi file will be replaced by latex/tex.

For example, if I type x^2y^2 and then want to change y by z, I go back with the cursor to delete y and then the second superscript "2" vanishes from the screen too, however when I type "z" instead of "y", the superscript is back.

Xdvi should just watch the file for changes. It might have some problems when the file is deleted and later regenerated with a different inode number.

LaTeX and Xdvi are children of LyX and directed by LyX to the internally computed hidden tmp-directory. I'm aware of that effect: If I close a file and reopen it again, then I have to close my running Xdvi too, because it is useless now, when using update->dvi. If I start Xdvi again it works ok. But there is no mystery. LyX creates a new tmp-directory (as I can see with /bin/ls) and starts working there. The update-dvi operation creates the new dvi file in the new tmp-dir. latex doesn't delete and recreates the dvi file, the contents of the dvi file will be replaced by latex/tex.
