Maybe this is not a LyX problem, I am not sure. But I only observe this with text pasted from LyX. I use LyX Version 2.1.2.2 for OSX 10.10.1.
I am testing a new text correction (spelling/grammar/usage) software for French: Le Robert Correcteur (*LRC*). It does not come for a module for LyX of course, but it can check the text that is already on the clipboard when one types a keyboard shortcut. When I select the text in LyX and activate the copy in the clipboard and the keyboard shortcut for text verification, the pasted text comes without the accented characters in LRC. I have set the document for using utf8 for font encoding (I am not sure that this is relevant for the copied text), and I use the Latin Modern Sans Unitype font for the screen fonts for sans serif (this is a beamer doc), and Georgia for the roman fonts. Even stranger: when I paste the text in a GMail window in Firefox or in Safari, it comes complete with all the accented characters... It seems that the problem is mainly with LRC, but I do not know if there is a way to solve it, by changing an option in Lyx. It seems specific to LyX because if I copy an accented text from TeXMaker, for example, I do not observe it. Any idea how I could tell LyX to send the copied text in a format that is compatible with LRC (the documentation of LRC does not say a word about the format expected by it unfortunately, but it should be standard format for Mac because I do meet this proble with text pasted from elsewhere?
