I am using LyX1.5.4-1 on WinXP, with the Beamer document class.

When I select the style ColumnsTopAligned within a frame, Lyx inserts


\begin{topcolumns}%{}

\end{topcolumns}%{}

as can easily be checked with the View Source window.


However, it seems impossible to enter any text between these \begin{}
and \end{} statements.

If I simply hit Return on the line that says Columns (top aligned),
then try to style the next line with the Column style, Lyx takes me
completely outside the topcolumns environment, again as can be seen
from the View Source window.

I get the same problems with the ColumnsCenterAligned and the simple
Columns styles.

Am I missing something really obvious, or is this a bug with Lyx
1.5.4?

You're missing something ... whether it's really obvious or not is a
matter of opinion. :-)

First insert the Columns environment. Underneath that, insert a
Column environment and fill in the width (including units, e.g.
40mm). Now nest the Column environment under the Columns environment
(Edit -> Increase List Depth or M-S-right or the tool button that
looks like an item list with a left-to-right arrow). Then type in
whatever you want in the column and nest it as well.

Thanks for your helpful reply. It was the need to Increase Depth that I did not find sufficiently obvious...
