Undo undoes too much

[David B]

Hi,

In newer versions of LyX (I'm using 2.0.3 on windows) I have noticed the
following very annoying behaviour: If you undo it undoes not only the
latest key press but something like the last 20-30 key presses. This means
that if you make some changes, and then delete something by mistake, undo
doesn't just undo the mistake, but also the changes before which you want
to keep. Thus you must either choose not to undo, and manually retype what
you deleted by mistake, or undo and retype the changes you made before the
deletion.

Is it possible to disable this behaviour so that an undo undoes only a
single key press?

Best Regards,
David

 The References list is absolutely crap, just copies the entire BibTeX

I do not remember how latex2rtf is called from LyX. 
latex2rtf requires that the LaTeX document to be converted was
completely and successfully compiled by LaTeX, that means that the .tex
file must be accompanied by up-to-date .aux and .bbl files.
So before running latex2rtf, the sequence
latex inputfile
bibtex inputfile
latex inputfile
latex inputfile
has to be executed to resolve all bibliographic references and cross
references.
Nevertheless, something like \s\do5(c)... should never be displayed in
Word. If it does, it means that a brace { or } or a backslash is missing
or misplaced in the rtf output.
For bugfixing it would be helpful if you send me a sample file which
shows the problem, by personal mail.

This is not quite the behavior I see.  I am using 2.0.3 on debian 
linux.  If you type a string without backspaces, or deletes, or other 
stoppages, undo will erase a string of some length.  For example, I just 
typed a string of c's, about 20 of them, and undo removed 14 of them.  
But, when I typed ccbackspace, undo just went back to the 
backspace, leaving one c.  I don't think this is new behavior for undo, 
and I don't think it's unreasonable.  If you want to delete just one 
character, you use backspace, don't you?  Undo (or Crtl-z ) would be 
a bit more bother.

Polytonic Greek input?

[stefano franchi]

Can anyone remind me of how to input Greek (polytonic) accents?

I looked on the wiki, but I could not quite figure out how to enter
the breathing accents. Searching the list did not help either. I used
to know it, but I can't remember how I learned it...

Thanks,

Stefano
