Thanks Scott,

This could very well be the case. I wonder what corruption it might be.
Created in LyX which would pick up any wrongness, and then converted
with a converter that has never before failed to deliver the .pdf?

Anyway, have bookmarked this for future use if needed.

Thank You,
Charlie

 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?

Try it, you'll like it, but tell me in noob terms step by step how to get it

Vector graphichs you say - but what format? ps? eps? pdf? svg? Something 
else?
LyX support some vector graphichs formats - just use Insert->Graphics 
and give the name of your vector graphics file.


If the format isn't supported, see if you can convert it to postscript 
or PDF.

Hi Scott
Here is my preference file (Mac OS 10.10.5, Lyx 2.2.0).

HTH,

Jan

Subject: Help improve LyX's defaults by sharing your preferences

Dear all,

There are many different preferences that the user can customize. It is
difficult to think about what is the best default preferences for the
most amount of users. One way I've thought of to get an idea of this is
to start collecting user's preferences. If we see that a lot of users
have changed a certain preference, we might think about changing the
default. Of course, for you this won't make much of a difference since
you have that setting set anyway. But it could make a difference for the
out-of-the-box experience of new LyX users.

Just to set realistic expectations, I would say that the chance of us
changing a default preference are pretty low (see, for example, [1], for
why this is complicated). In order to tak a rist, we need to have a lot
of evidence about the average user; and since you are on a LyX mailing
list that means you are not an average user in my opinion :).

Preferences in particular that I'm curious about are:

  screen zoom
  continuous spellcheck
  math preview

Before posting, please check your preferences file manually for any
information that you prefer not to be made public.

Your preferences are in a file called "preferences", stored in your user
directory. To locate your user directory, see Help > About (I think on
Mac this is LyX > About?). If you go to your user directory and there is
no "preferences" file, that means that you have not changed any of the
defaults. I still want to know in this case. If you could just respond
"default", then that would be helpful.

Please state your OS with the categories of Windows, Mac, or Linux. This
is important because it is possible to have different default
preferences on different platforms.

Attached is my preferences file.

Scott

I have now seen the same behaviour with Beyond Compare.  Oddly, on one occasion
the sticky dropdown went away without me closing the app.  Race condition of
some sort?

Anyhow, it looks to me like a Qt or Mate bug. I'm expecting it to go away when I
upgrade my distro.
