Thanks for checking. This is weird. I tried it on 2 different computers and it is not processed. I see the lyxpreview*.tex but no lyxpreview*.log. After closing the document I see on the terminal the message "ForkedProcess::kill(0)", meaning that lyx thinks the preview process is still running and tries to kill it. -- Enrico -- Problem reports: https://cygwin.com/problems.html FAQ: https://cygwin.com/faq/ Documentation: https://cygwin.com/docs.html Unsubscribe info: https://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple
