Hi again, Interestingly, I just discovered, that it seems to work fine with a document I created by myself.
Should I also mention, that I had another version of Lyx before? That was the one packaged with my Ubuntu. I removed it with 'apt-get remove lyx' before installing texlive and the new LyX. Any help is much appreciated.
