Hi, is the following known?1. create new document 2. insert tabular, e.g. default 5x5 3. select cells in first row and make it a multicolumn (never mind the other known bug that right-clicking doesn't work for preserving selection, use the menu) 4. try to de-select the "upper line" ("obere Linie" in my German version) via the menu, edit->tabular. 5. Result: nothing happens. 6. Now open the tabular dialog via the menu, and de-select the upper line in the appropriate tab. It works. If I'm not mistaken, steps 4 and 6 are supposed to be exact substitutes, so that looks like a bug.
Consider reporting it at bugzilla.lyx.org
Btw, some time ago somebody suggested to let lyx create new tabulars without any lines by default. I think that's a great idea. That can't be so difficult to implement, right? Do we need a vote?
There were much discussion - and simply changing lyx to no-line tabulars was turned down for "changing default behaviour". The acceptable solution was to add a mechanism that lets the user select table styles, and perhaps set a default style for new tables. That way, anyone can start with their favourite table - all lines, no lines, one line under the heading - or anything else. This is of course more work, and so nobody has competed it. :-/ Helge Hafting
