I never had a problem with "size and rotation" of a graphics image with previous LYX 1.6 version. However, after I upgraded to LYX 1.6.9 version, when I open a previous file, the "size and rotation" is dimmed (grayed out) so I cannot edit it any longer. What am I supposed to do? Help is greatly appreciated
