This is the case. I sometimes open two lyx sessions (instances) when I need to refer to another file, or another part of a long lyx file. Copy/paste between two windows becomes impossible! I can not use middle button, can not even use paste external selection. (If I have to, I can paste to emacs, copy, and paste to the other lyx session. Of course formula will be messed up.) As a side note, it would be nice to be able to display two windows of the same or different lyx files. This will make copy paste between two files (or differnt parts of the same file) much easier. Opening two main windows (like MS word does now) is OK provided that copy/paste between these two windows is possible. Bo
