Wolfgang,
Have you enabled the standard toolbar to be shown? You may find
out by
right- clicking into the toolbar area.
Axel
yes, but the toolbar used to be at the top horizontally, now its
at the
left vertically
Wolfgang
Sorry for top-posting. If the toolbar is shown the environment choice
box
should be part of it and it should probably appear on top of the
vertical
toolbar. You can move the toolbar by dragging it using your mouse. It
will
change its shape according to the place where you insert it.
Axel
Thanks, Rich and Axel, but I tried this already. A left mouse click in
the vertical environment choice box gives me a red point with 4
blades, but the only action is moving the whole Lyx display.
At least here, there are two lines just above a vertical toolbar. If I
put my mouse cursor over those lines, it turns into the four pointy
thing. Then I can click and move it. Clicking on empty space in the
toolbar does not work.

I include a snapshot with the mouse cursor position above the 2 lines
which you refer to, I guess. But I can't move the toolbar. I am using
Lyx 2.3.3dev and QT4.8.7, by the way
Not sure why it won't work, then.
I take it you are on Linux? If so, then look at the folder
~/.config/LyX/. This is (at least here) where these kinds of settings
are stored. I have two files there: lyx.conf and lyx2.4.conf. The former
is the one for 'released' LyX. If you open that file (or can find
lyx.conf in some other location), then you will see a bunch of stuff like:
[views]
0\citation\autofind=true
0\citation\casesensitive=false
Find the line beginning 0\layout. Delete that line. That should restore
the defaults. Alternatively, have a look at the 0\standard lines. It is
possible that 'movability' has somehow been disabled.

I finally managed to pull the left sided environment choice box to the
horizontal position. Why it did not work before? Perhaps due to my age
the hand and/or eyes were not precise enough. Would be nice if this
shifting would be a bit less tricky.
Thanks for all the help and excuse the noice,
Wolfgang
