as a matter of fact, yes I do.
The windows look identical. There is no way to tell the difference.
I would have liked us to have some better control over files that
might have changed on disk though. (And this is a problem we have
regardless of only one lyx instance or not.)
There is a reason why all word processors that support multiple windows
have a single running process. It should not be possible to open the
same document multiple times when the data is not shared between the
windows.
Having the same document in multiple windows is a great new feature, but
it should be guaranteed that they share the content so you can safely
press save.
Really, a user interface should be designed to make life easier for the
users, not to introduce many different states one cannot recognize.
