What are the entries you are trying to > use? And how much of those paths actually exists? Earlier I had set LyXServer-pipe to "/home/lahaye/.lyx/pipe". When I then open the preferences dialog and manually change that into "/home/lahaye/.lyx/mypipe" (simply typing "my" infront of "pipe"), I cannot [Save] or [Apply] that change because both buttons are still disabled. This is not the correct behaviour to my opinion, since I have changed the pipe in a legitimate way. Or what do you think? In this example, I have to change (and change back) something else in order to enable the [Save/Apply] buttons to save my new LyXServer-pipe. > > 2) It does, when I select a line in the list of the LyX objects > > in Look & Feel -> Colors, although it shouldn't because I do not > > make any changes. > > This is a problem of the "what is an input and what isn't" variety we have > had elsewhere. Problem of input? I don't understand. Simply looking at the default top Object "GUI background" doesn't affect the [Save/Apply] buttons. So why then enable [Restore/Save/Apply] buttons when I LOOK AT the colour settings of (for example) "latex text". That implies no changes at all (just looking!), so it should not enable the [Restore/Save/Apply] buttons. Only when I change one of the colour settings, I should be able to Save/Apply this change.
