Hi Elisabeth,

I'm sorry for the trouble. That sounds very frustrating! We will release
2.2.2 soon (a matter of weeks). You might want to try that, but I'm not
sure if it will help. Another thing you might consider is installing LyX
2.1.5, which might work better for you (just a guess, since 2.1.4 seems
to have worked well for you), and can open 2.2.x version files.

Sorry I'm not of much help. If you happen to have access to Ubuntu then
I would be more useful and could help you easily get LyX running well on
it. Other than that, we'll have to hope that a Windows user shows up and
has an idea of what's going on.

Best of luck,

Scott

Hi Pierre,

I've seen several issues reported like this. Which OS are you using? I
think the issues I've seen have been for Mac OS. I have not seen this
myself on Ubuntu.

Sorry I'm not of much help.

Kevin are you still experiencing this issue? Even if not, I would still
like to see your old user directory so we could fix a potential LyX bug.

Hi Stephen, I'm not sure what's wrong. I just checked and the previews
show up fine on Ubuntu so there might be something platform-specific
going on. Hopefully there's someone around here who uses Mac that can
check.

Lilypond preview

[Stephen Luttrell]

I have OS X 10.11.6 and LyX 2.2.1 with (1) Look & Feel / Display / Display 
graphics checked, and (2) Look & Feel / Display / Instant preview set to “On”.

If I open Help / Specific Manuals / LilyPond, then after a short delay the 
various LilyPond insets — these are inside Preview insets, such as in section 
2.3 on Previews — display themselves in the LyX window as blank regions, 
whereas I would have expected fragments of musical score to appear. However, 
when I view the corresponding PDF the music is displayed correctly, but it 
would be really nice for the Preview insets to work as expected in the LyX 
window.

In case it is relevant, preview of mathematical formulae in my LyX window works 
correctly.

problem with toolbars in Mac

[Sergio Celani]

Hi

I have a Macbook Air, recently purchased. I am totally newbie, I've always
used computers with windows.

I have installed Lyx and MacTeX and without   difficulty.  But I can not
fix some of the toolbars. Every time I leave fixed a toolbar (for example,
the Font toolbar, or the Arrows, etc)), I close the program and go back to
run and the toolbar disappears, and returns to the standard toolbar.  In
Windows I never had this problem.
Would appreciate any help

beamer noteitem truncated (overfull)

[Neal Becker]

Using beamer, noteitem (this time inside frame!), it's working, but the 
displays of notes, which are formatted as itemize lists, are a bit truncated 
on the right.

Probably connected with these warnings:
Overfull \hbox (6.80821pt too wide) in paragraph at lines 10--11
[][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][]

OK, I see, I can only use this inside a frame.

What about File->New Window ?


Thanks. Sorry, I overlooked the answer since you did not put me on the 
list of receivers.


So if I already have a file open that I would like to open in a new 
window, then I would have to first close it, open a new window, and then 
manually open the file again, right?
