Try putting braces around the author entry in JabRef (so that the BibTeX
source box reads "author = {{Soil Science Staff}}". Braces around
entries in BibTeX generally mean "literally like this, don't screw with me".

WARNING: updating LaTeX or LyX under Windows will currently break LaTeX installation
Dear LyX Windows users, yesterday I noticed a severe bug in the LaTeX system "MiKTeX" that LyX is usually using under Windows. The problem is that if you - upgrade MiKTeX or LyX or - install a new LaTeX package or - refresh the MiKTeX package database you will end up in a broken LaTeX with error messages like "unknown procedure entry point". I experimented around for more than 2 hours but could not find a workaround once LaTeX is broken. Even a reinstallation of LyX or MiKTeX doesn't help since the result are always broken DLLs and I could not find a way to prevent this. Therefore I strongly recommend not to change anything in your LaTeX setup nor to compile LyX documents that might use special LaTeX packages hat are not yet installed on your PC. Also don't install another version of LyX or reinstall LyX. I hope this issue will be fixed soon and report back. regards Uwe

If you make a simple example for each of the bugs above and post on https://www.lyx.org/trac there's a good chance they will be fixed. I know that the painting bugs are not the most important to you, but it would still be nice to improve those. As for any LaTeX export bugs, please keep reporting those. If you know what the correct LaTeX code that should be produced is, that makes it easier to try to fix things. Thanks for all of your feedback! Best, Scott signature.asc Description: PGP signature

BibTeX author entry in LyX document
A bibTeX entry in JabRef:
@Manual{NRCS1996,
title= {Keys to Soil Taxonomy},
author = {Soil Science Staff},
organization = {Natural Resource Conservation Service, US Department of
Agriculture},
edition = {7},
year = {1996},
abstract = {Characteristics of soils keyed to provide identification.},
keywords = {soils, taxonomy, key},
}
But, when I link that entry into a LyX document it appears as "Staff
(1996)".
How should I format the author so the reference is inserted as "Soil
Science Staff (1996)"?

When I look at Tools - Tex Information, standalone appears in both the latex classes and latex styles list. Also I can compile a raw *.tex file with pdflatex. So the latex side is available and works and lyx kind of knows about it. Not sure what in lyx determines what's listed in the dropdown though. Any help appreciated Using Ubuntu 16:04 Lyx 2.3.0. Cheers You need a LyX layout file for it. There's one at https://wiki.lyx.org/Layouts/Layouts (in section 7 of the user provided layouts portion). Park it in your local layouts folder (~/.lyx/layouts on a Linux system) and do Tools > Reconfigure in LyX, and you should be good to go.

This is by design, in order to get the direction right. Arguably, it
seems a bit odd and is not necessary with only one number (but that'll
be a bit more tricky to implement).

Yes, this is a bug. I can reproduce. Please file a report at

This is fixed in LyX 2.3.

Yes, this looks like a beamer problem, not a LyX bug.

Hopefully we can figure out > the root cause eventually. Cor (now CC'd), There are two openSUSE users, Bernhard, and Ricardo, who are seeing a strange bug with the LyX display of \int. Can you take a look at this thread and see if you can reproduce? Bernhard found a workaround, which was compiling with Qt 4, but it would be nice to figure out the core issue.

Re: Sharpness of lyx characters
Le 23/08/2018 à 17:35, Pol a écrit : screen characters in lyx on hp-elitebook x360, appear unclear, i would say that 'ink density' is not uniform. No change switching to different fonts. All applications display clear characters, except LyX Lyx runs on opensuse leap 15 / plasma Wait until LyX 2.3.1 soonish. It will use anti aliasing in the workarea if needed. I suspect this is what you lack here. JMarc
