After replacing RedHat 7.1 to RedHat 7.2 on my laptop (to solve hardware issues), I discovered that the lyx math editor started to behave strangely. I am using lyx-1.1.6fix3 from the binary rpm listed below, which worked fine with RH7.1. The math-editor does not display backslash-escaped characters (e.g. \pi, \leftarrow) in the main line, but does if they appear as sub- or super-scripts. Also, it does not display the first superscript "upstairs", i.e. typing "a^b" displays "ab" on the main line, but "a^b^c" displays correctly. This bug happens only with superscripts; subscripts are displayed OK. These problems are at the display level only. Viewing the text as dvi, or exporting it as latex is OK.
When I compile lyx from the corresponding source RPM, it crashes immediately with a SIGSEGV signal. Any advice?
