Folks: Sorry to be reporting bugs in 1.4.4 while 1.5 is being rolled
out, but at the moment I need to stick with this to get some work done.
While trying to do that, to write a paper to be precise, I noticed a
display bug that I had not heard tell of.
I am using the amsart class (not the sequential numbering, the one which
numbers Theorem 3.1 (first statement in section 3), and so on.
I first noticed the oddity, actually, in Theorem 3.1, which shows up as
Theorem 3.10 on the screen, even though it comes out as Theorem 3.1 in
the dvi file. Lyx is not re-setting the secondary number between
sections. There were 9 statements in the previous sections.
I don't know when this first appeared, but I would guess that it was
fairly recently, either in 1.4.4 or 1.4.3.
If this is not a known problem, I will post a sample file illustrating it.
I can confirm this, and it still holds true in 1.5.0rc2. Numbering in
the GUI is controlled by the layout files. There's a provision in the
layout files for defining/redefining counters, but I'm not aware of a
mechanism for resetting a counter. I'll ask on the developer list and,
if it can't be done currently, put it in as an enhancement request. (I
couldn't find a relevant entry in bugzilla.)
