Lyx seems to think the meta (alt) key is pressed - ctrl+N doesn't start
a new document but inserts a new numbered formula into an existing one,
the S key brings up the Alt+S menu prompt in the status bar at the
bottom, and I'm not sure what the escape key does do but it definitely
doesn't close dialog boxes - etc. This behaviour is in Lyx only, and
wasn't rectified by uninstalling and reinstalling (now on the current
1.6.5). I have no keyboard map set in
Tools->Preferences->Editing->Keyboard/Mouse.
I certainly didn't deliberately change anything since the last time I
used Lyx, and I'm not sure what I could have changed accidentally. Any
ideas? I did a Google, turned up
http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/msg53492.html which
doesn't help much other than confirm that I'm not completely batty.
The only thing I can think of, is that LyX may have missed a key release
event. This is fixable by pressing and then releasing ALT while
LyX has keyboard focus.
It won't help if the problem is caused by something else, but might be
worth a try.
