The desktop environment is Cinnamon. But it's not Cinnamon vs. MATE--I just logged into MATE and it's got the same issue here. Here is the LyX build Info, in case that helps: LyX 2.3.2 (2018-12-08) Configuration Host type: x86_64-pc-linux-gnu Special build flags: build=release std-regex use-hunspell use-aspell use-enchant Bundled libraries: (none) C++ Compiler: g++ (5.4.0) C++ Compiler flags: -O2 -std=c++14 C++ Compiler user flags: Linker flags: Linker user flags: Qt Frontend: Qt version: 4.8.7 Packaging: posix LyX binary dir: /usr/bin LyX files dir: /usr/share/lyx I cannot remember how I installed LyX originally, to be honest. But I have this in my var/lib/apt/lists: ppa.launchpad.net_lyx-devel_release_ubuntu_dists_xenial_InRelease ppa.launchpad.net_lyx-devel_release_ubuntu_dists_xenial_main_binary-amd64_Packages ppa.launchpad.net_lyx-devel_release_ubuntu_dists_xenial_main_binary-i386_Packages ppa.launchpad.net_lyx-devel_release_ubuntu_dists_xenial_main_i18n_Translation-en ppa.launchpad.net_lyx-devel_release_ubuntu_dists_xenial_main_source_Sources Which I think means that at some point I added Liviu's PPA and have been just getting it with apt updates. > Your file dialog looks substantially different from mine (screen shot > attached).

I am fairly sure this is a virgin install, without any configuration tinkering--I don't do much personalizing because I switch between machines so much.
