I don't know anything about the FreeBSD implementation. One other possible
thing to try: you could run the (Python) configuration script in a terminal
and see if anything useful jumps out. The script is likely at
/usr/share/lyx/configure.py (that's where I find it on Linux Mint).

Could it be an issue with the version of Python running the script? I know
that 3.0 was not backward compatible with 2.x, but I don't know whether that

Hi Sven,

Thanks for checking in and providing feedback. I stopped reading the
link you gave after it mentions it puts in ERT \linebreak. This is
because if you cannot reproduce the problem without ERT, then for the
most part LyX does not take responsibility. If you can reproduce it
with ERT, it could be a bug. Can you post a minimal .lyx example
(http://wiki.lyx.org/FAQ/MinimalExample).

The best way to search for a bug that happens in a table is to go to
http://www.lyx.org/trac/wiki/BugTrackerHome, click Search for bugs
then click on the white box in And and choose Component. Choose
Component is : tabular. It gives you this search:
