Hi All,
I have been experiencing some serious problems with LyX lately, after my
upgrade to 1.6.x. This is what happens:
1. I am happily typing away when suddenly there is no ouptu on the screen any
longer.
2. However, LyX is not completely crashed. I can still issue control
commands. In particular, I can save my work with Ctrl-S, and quit with Ctrl-Q.
3. The interface, however, is completely unresponsive: the various panes are
not updated, scrolling does not work, etc. As expected, if I change to a
different workspace and come back, Lyx's windows is not refreshed and becomes
blank.
As I said, the behavior is not *that* annoying, since no work gets lost.
However, it seems rather serious and happens repeatedly. I have experienced
it intermittently for several weeks now---a few times a week on average. But I
cannot reproduce it consistently. Is this a known bug? If not, anby suggestion
on what I could do in order to pin it down?
I am on Linux/Kubuntu (Kde 4.2), running LyX 1.6.1
I have not seen or heard of this bug. You should probably bugzilla it so
it will get people's attention.
One thing you might do is check `top' when this happens. Is LyX eating CPU?
Do you have the TOC open? Other panes? If so, see if you still get this
with them closed. Otherwise, no very good ideas.
