Hi Anders, thanks for reporting this behavior. In emails like this it's always useful if you give your LyX version (and in this case Mac OS version). We have had reports like this and the problem has been fixed for several users by a patch that is now in the soon-to-be-released LyX 2.1. Can you please try out LyX 2.1 beta2 (ftp://ftp.lyx.org/pub/lyx/devel/lyx-2.1/lyx-2.1.0beta2/LyX-2.1.0beta2+qt4-cocoa.dmg) and let us know if the problem still occurs? Best, Scott
