Ok, I finally ran a reconfigure on my LyX and the problem went away. Now having just one child document open without the master being open will again bring up all the relevant child documents. I have not reconfigured for along time. I am surprised though that the problem manifested itself on two computers at the same time.
So, not much of a solution since I have no idea how to reproduce this problem again. Just keep in mind that when your outline starts doing funny things, reconfigure your LyX Mac: Lyx > Reconfigure PC: Tools > Reconfigure On Jan 20, 2010, at 5:10 PM, rgheck wrote: > On 01/20/2010 10:54 AM, maarten rutgers wrote: >> I set up a very simple test document with three chapters, each included in >> one master, each referring back to the master.
