Yes. I have lyx 2.3.0 loaded. Lyx 2.3.2 is in the Debian Testing Repository. When I try to update to lyx 2.3.2 it affects about 40+ other programs, so I think I will wait for a while. I understand Debian is coming out with a later version (I use stretch) in a couple of months. Now that I know your double-space/single-space/double-space trick, the wait will be more than bearable.
