Dear Stephan, you've nailed it. I finally could pinpoint the problem to opening files in windows, instead of in tabs. Nevertheless, I opened Lyx from command line to see if some message appears when I tried to open another file, but nothing showed up.
Again, my wife's computer is using Mavericks and her Lyx is 2.1.2.2 Can anyone confirm this bug, so I can file it? If not, do you have another idea about why this problem is appearing? Thanks in advance.
