On closer examination, the behavior is actually more complex: it appears that upon entering or creating a math mode element inside a box, LyX attempts to scroll the math mode element (if necessary and possible) such that vertical space appearing below it in the editing window is greater than or equal to the vertical extent of the box. (I previously believed it tried to place the math mode element at the top because all my examples were done inside boxes greater than the height of the window.) Can anyone reproduce this? Thomas

This old thread was the only mention I could find of this problem ... but I still experience this behavior in LyX 2 regardless of what is open or not open at the bottom of the window (in particular, regardless of whether "View Source" is open), so there must be more to the story. Whenever the cursor enters a math mode element that is inside any kind of box (Figure caption, LyX note, etc.), via pointing device or arrow keys, the contents of the editing window are immediately scrolled to place the math mode element at the top. I am running LyX 2.0.0 on Ubuntu 11.10 x86_64. I could not find any bug reports on this topic, so I wonder if any others are having the same problem. Thomas

This is because the source window shows you with the default settings only the content of the current paragraph. So depending on the amount your have already in your caption, it needs more space to display the new math code. regards Uwe
Re: Automatic scrolling upon entering math mode inside a caption
Hmm, I didn't realize this was important before, but it seems I only have this problem when I have "View Source" open on the bottom of the window. It always puts the cursor at the top of the window even when there is plenty of room for the math toolbar and the view source box. I don't if there's any way to stop this behavior, but at least I can close or move the view source window when I need to write figure captions.

Automatic scrolling upon entering math mode inside a caption
Whenever I enter math mode within the caption of a figure float, LyX automatically scrolls down so that the formula is on the top line of the screen. I find this kind of annoying because I usually have the caption below the figure and like to be able to look at the figure while I am typing the caption (which I can do because the figure is scrolled off the top of the screen). Is there any way to disable this scrolling? Is it a bug? I'm using LyX 1.6.6.1 on Windows XP. Will
