Glad it worked, and don't worry about wasting times, that's what the
list is for ;-)
If the pasting-problem should re-occur, try to note exactly what you
did (from which program you pasted what, etc). It can also be good to
open up the Console application (Typically under in your Applications-
>Utilities folder, and see if there are any error messages there (it
could even be that there are error messages left there from your
session yesterday)

I just tried normal copy/paste using external data and it worked
just fine. I swear I tried that yesterday and it didn't work.
I sincerely apologize for wasting the mailing list's time. I can
only claim temporary (I hope) insanity.
Thanks for taking the time to respond to my mail.

Once upon a time external paste would work via a special external
paste option. I read the docs for 1.5.0rc1 and saw that now the
middle button is to be used for pasting. Of course by default
there is no middle buttons in OS X land but I have a multi button
mouse and I used USB Overdrive to configure how it works. I took
one of my extra buttons and configured it to be the middle mouse
button, the fourth mouse button and the fifth mouse button (as
defined by USB overdrive) without much joy. Setting the extra
button to be the 'middle mouse button' did cause LYX to paste but
it pasted from its internal buffer rather than from the external
one.
Is there a keyboard shortcut for external paste? Is there a known
setting to get external paste working on OS X using USB Overdrive?
Thanks,
Yaron
P.S. I did try to internet search for a solution and I checked
the mail archives but I couldn't find anything. I also checked
the bug list for 1.5. I'm sorry if this question has already been
answered but I tried my best to find that answer and failed.
Command V should pastes the most recent copied selection
regardless of whether it is external or internal. In addition you
have the Paste Recent menu to paste recent internally copied
selections.
If that doesn't work for you, could you could you please give
details on your configuration (language, etc). I have tried with
Latin and Cyrillic characters and both work fine for me.
