Thanks for the new version. However, I I'm not sure if I have something wrong ... it it's still a "feature": No matter what I try, I cannot get the "View/Update"toolbar to stay to the right of one of the top main toolbars.
Every time I start LyX, the View/Update toolbar is all the way to the right of the window (just one icon showing), and I have to drag back to the left and drop it at the end of one of the main toolbars, where there is plenty of space for it. What have I overlooked? Mateo.
