It definitely is not showing up  in "Insert > Custom Inserts"?

Out of curiosity, when a menu sticks, can you dismiss it with the escape 
key?


R/. Don't work this trick, but I see, when I unfold a menu, for example 
in Document --> Settings --> Output --> and finally unfold the menu: 
Default output format, and close the window, appear this menu, and when 
I try for second time, it's seems work fine. I try it for a second one 
and works fine. I don't know what happen.


Ok, great to receive your suggestions and regards. ;-)

   Alejandro,

   I'm copying this back to the user list, to keep the conversation
   visible to others.

   This is a bit perplexing. I've installed the same .deb file you
   have, from the same source, on the same OS (Mint Rosa), and not
   experienced the persistent menus. The one wrinkle is that, when I
   was on Rosa, I did not use MATE; I had Cinnamon on my desktop and
   Xfce on my laptop. However, since upgrading Mint to 18.0 Sarah (and
   subsequently 18.1 Serena), I've had MATE on my desktop, and not had
   the menu issue.

   I no longer have Mint 2.2.2 on either machine (I'm on 2.2.3), but
   since we installed the same package from the PPA, I assume we were
   both using the same Qt version. I'm not a developer, so I don't know
   the code base, but Richard Heck is, and seems to believe the issue
   would be with Qt. If so, it would apparently have to involve an
   interaction with something external to LyX (CPU timing issue, other
   application interfering, gremlins, Russian hackers, ...).

   Out of curiosity, when a menu sticks, can you dismiss it with the
   escape key?

Not sure if this is related:

On Windows 10 (LyX 2.2.2 and 2.2.3), create a new document. There are no 
scroll bars. Type A  several times (creating text) so that the 
text exceeds the vertical size of the window (i.e., document needs a 
scroll bar). Keep doing it. No scroll bar appears. Scrolling with mouse 
wheel works; arrow keys allow me to move.


A scroll bar will finally appear when you resize the window.

   Not a biggie

   Just a thought about the scrollbar on the right and side of the
   document window. It doesn't show till I hit F7 to spellcheck the
   document, or not, because that brings up the scrollbar.

   This has been the case for months, and because I knew that
   work around
   used it, thinking that at some point it would be corrected?

   Stretch is not that far from stable and still doesn't work on my
   system. Possibly a new default?

   Just wondered?

   Hi Charlie,

   Thanks for this report. I can't reproduce on Ubuntu and with LyX
   2.2.2
   or with 2.3dev.

   Does anyone else see the same problem?

   Scott

   Not on Mint (with any version of LyX through 2.2.3).

List of TODOs missing from LyX interface?

[Klaus-Dieter Bauer]

Hello!

In ``todonotes.module`` I noticed the line

OutlinerName todonotes "TODO"


which I assume is meant to add the list of TODOs to the user interface in
the manner of the table of contents and list of figures etc, i.e. having
entries in both the "Navigate" menu and the "Outline" pane.

However, I can't find any indication of such an outliner in the interface
after adding the module and a todonnote. (I uploaded the example file to
[1] for reference).

Is there any possibility to get this working?

If not, would this be considered a bug?

I would not really re-invent the wheel but look in

load the required package and use a bit of ERT :-)-O

A workaround could be
preamble:
\input{dingbat.sty}

in Text (ERT) \anchor

My created My created vector graphics ⚓ symbol inputs to LyX but does not export to PDF XeTex

[Vilis]

I have banged my head for hours against all of your instructions on how to
get my ⚓ to export from LyX to PDF XeTex.
Try it, you'll like it, but tell me in noob terms step by step how to get it
to appear in my .pdf document output.
In the place in my text where I insert  ⚓ in LyX, the symbol ⊠ appears in
the .pdf output.
Your help is appreciated.


Vilis' free anchor symbol. This is a text character which I created in
vector graphics (scalable) for text editors and word processors such as
Libre Office Writer (.odt) or Microsoft Word (.doc)

Thanks, 
Vilis
