Hi, since I don't see the problem on either OS X 10.6.8 or 10.7.2, I just tried the following steps on my OS X 10.6.8 machine: 1) Move ~/Library/Application Support/LyX-2.0 to the Desktop.
2) Fresh download of LyX-2.0.2+qt4-cocoa.dmg from www.lyx.org 3) Move old LyX out of Application folder 4) Install downloaded LyX and launch it 5) In an unrelated note, I noticed that the default screen font wasn't correctly displayed: should be Times but is Helvetica. So I chnaged that font to Times New Roman and the display worked again. 6) In Preferences, I then chose the xemacs bind file, and checked the box "Do not swap Apple and Control Keys" 7) I restarted LyX and opened a new document with Control-d (it worked as expected). I then started a new math display formula with Apple-d and it worked as expected. 8) To double check, I went to the Terminal and navigated to ~/Library/Application Support/LyX-2.0 then issued the command: grep dontswap * with the expected result: preferences:\mac_dontswap_ctrl_meta true The last point is something you should definitely check, too. If you do the same things (including step 1) but still have the problem, then one has to start worrying that perhaps Qt is doing something wrong. Essentially what the "don't swap" check box does is to set a Qt flag that gets updated when LyX starts up. I can't really see how anything on the LyX side should fail in that process.
