As a faster workaround, try "insert by macro name". In a formula, you can always use the LaTeX command to insert a symbol. A LaTeX command starts with a backslash followed by the name, e.g. \alpha will be replaced by a blue italic letter alpha I can see most command names as tooltip in the math panels (maybe this does no longer work at your site) and I can see the command names (after inserting) in the source pane (View>Source Pane>LaTeX). I actually find the macro-insert method the fastest and most convenient method to input mathematical content (but this may be due to my LaTeX background). Günter
