I just sat down to take a look. Thanks for sending an example to the list. There is a lot of non-minimal elements in your .lyx file.

And just to confirm, you can reproduce this from a fresh file, with only
the following in the preamble?
\usepackage{amssymb}
\DeclareUnicodeCharacter{25A2}{$\square$}
The reason I ask is that I wonder if something else in your main
document is triggering the issue.

And I don't think compilation is actually interrupted, it just feels like it is. That is, during the dialog, I believe the code is still running. All that said, I personally would be in favor of removing the dialog, now that the user can cancel the process at anytime on their own (this didn't use to be possible).

Dear Adrian,
I'm not sure this issue is known. Would it be possible to make a short
example that shows the issue? Or even a medium-sized .lyx document would
be fine as long as it doesn't depend on other files (e.g., images or
child documents).
This could be a big help so we could catch a bug before the 2.4.0 final release.
Thanks,
Scott

I opened a ticket: https://www.lyx.org/trac/ticket/13022 Thanks a lot for sharing the .lyx file, Jéssica, and to Udi for reporting the issue. Jéssica, an off-topic question out of curiosity: do you use instant preview to view math? If not, do you know about LyX math macros? I wonder if you might like using a math macro for your \setsep command, for example. If you don't mind the LaTeX, then no need to change anything but thought I would ask just in case.

I can't reproduce that issue. Do you think you could make a screencast and post it so we could see how it slows down? After the issue occurs, if you take your finger off and wait a second, and then start typing is it back to normal (until you trigger the issue)? Or once it happens it is slow typing from there on out?

Any Windows users test Beta 5 yet?
2.4.0 Beta 5 was recently released (available here: http://ftp.lyx.org/pub/lyx/devel/lyx-2.4/). Have any Windows users tested it yet? If so, has it gone smoothly? Also, can you remind me: the beta 5 installs in parallel to your 2.3.x release right? So you can still use 2.3.x after installing it? Which one is default? For example, if you double-click to open a .lyx file, does it open with 2.3.x or with the newly installed Beta 5? I'm going to meet with a friend who I might be able to convince to test Beta 5, but I wanted to be able to let him know of any known issues, or anything to look out for.

Hi Mark, If you're still interested in testing, you can get the just-released development version here: http://ftp.lyx.org/pub/lyx/devel/lyx-2.4/ If you save any .lyx file with it, you won't be able to open it in 2.3.x.

I know this isn't out-of-the-box user-friendly, but perhaps it helps your use case. More generally, I've also found similar workflows to be unexpectedly complicated. I think that LyX's beamer workflow needs some improvements. Thankfully, LyX's beamer support was hugely improved several years ago. Before then, from what I understand it was a bunch of Beamer-specific hacks cobbled together; now it is just a well-defined special case of a document class. So I think the hard work is done, and all the required functionality is there, we just need to improve the interface/workflow. I have some ideas, based on sporadic discussions on the list. But I have no time to work on the code, and I do not want to start long conversations unless there is a volunteer willing to work on the code. Anyone who would be interested in working on the code, let me know and I will put the time into organizing my thoughts. In the meantime, I think it would be helpful to collect several use cases that are unexpected complicated, like the one that you bring up.

It's good to know those two theories of mine are not correct. Thanks for sending your system info in your initial message, that's helpful. In particular, it's helpful to know that you're on macOS, if I understand correctly. We have definitely seen strange things reported by macOS users the last couple years. I see you are on LyX 2.3.6.2. Can you test the most recent version of LyX? I do not see an entry in the changelog from 2.3.6.2 to 2.3.7 (http://lists.lyx.org/pipermail/lyx-announce/2023/12.html) that appears related to your issue, but it's still worth checking. Also, 2.3.7 might be compiled with a newer version of Qt which can bring fixes as well so maybe you'll get lucky. By the way, what is KLyX? Was that the original name of LyX? When I search for KLyX on Wikipedia, it redirects to something surprising; you have my sympathy if you've been using that since 2001 ;) Do I understand correctly that you did not experience this issue before? If so, do you know when the issue started to appear for you? Was it during an upgrade of LyX versions? I haven't heard of this particular issue before from any user (perhaps others have?), so it might be difficult to debug and figure out the root cause. Even though you can reproduce the issue from just opening a new file, it would still be helpful for you to send us a file where the cursor speed is slow for you. The reason for this is that it's possible to change the default document settings of new documents, so a new file for you is not necessarily the same as a new file for me. I don't *think* this is the root issue, but it would still be helpful to rule it out.

In this case, LyX creates the corresponding LaTeX code "$\mathbb{0}$", which is
valid LaTeX. It is true that the output is counter-intuitive. I'm not convinced
we should do anything here.
We could try to do something to make it more clear that we're still in the
\mathbb inset, if the red corners aren't clear enough. I've been bitten by
these types of issues also. But I have no concrete suggestion.
We could provide a module called something like "Error on likely mistakes". I'm
guessing it would be easy to write LaTeX that gives an error if not certain
characters are used inside \mathbb. But the user would have to first manually
add that module, and I'm not sure the most people who would benefit from that
module would be the ones to add it.

R. H., to answer your question directly, yes I miss them :). I am used to Vim,
and I often wish I could use Vim-like features in LyX. e.g., I love using 'g;'
in Vim. I think the first 'g;' in LyX can be down with "Navigate back" ('Ctrl +
shift + <' or something like that) but I would love to go through the entire
change list as quickly as with 'g;'.
Also, I've requested persistent undo (https://www.lyx.org/trac/ticket/12578),
which I've gotten used to in Vim.
I imagine Emacs users have similar desires to use Emacs features in LyX.
That said, without considerable work, I don't see it happening in LyX anytime
soon.

Thanks for sharing, Eckhard! I looked at the pdf there. Cool font! What tools do you use to develop the font? I took a look at the PDF. One thing I noticed is that for the page numbers, in 41 and 42 they appear to be centered vertically but for 43 it seems more like top aligned.

In LyX, a "Beamer note" is just an inset, so it is saved in the .lyx
file as any inset (e.g., like a URL inset or a Note inset). There is
also a Note environment, and it is saved like any environment.
When compiling to PDF, you need to add some preamble code, otherwise the
Note contents will be ignored (by Beamer). I'm using this basic setup:
% https://tex.stackexchange.com/a/21872/12212
\usepackage{pgfpages}
\setbeamertemplate{note page}[plain]
\setbeameroption{show notes on second screen=right}

One tip: sometimes I think Pympress gets confused and is not sure which
monitor is for you and which is for the audience. If it starts up the
wrong way, press "s" to swap. Just in case though, you might want to
make sure the presenter notes on the first slide aren't too embarrassing
if they are accidentally revealed to the audience :).

I have used a video slide successfully before with Pympress. I remember
searching and I think I found it is also supported by pdfpc but I could
not test it. Also with Pympress, I remember it worked on one computer
and for some reason did not work on the other. I did not narrow it down
to whether it was a difference in Pympress viewer versions, or what, but
I did come away with the feeling that it was "fragile".
This week and next are a bit busy for me. How time-sensitive is this? I
can try to find time to make a full Pympress example and send you the
.lyx file and video file and see if it works for you. Would that help?

Hi Saša, I've heard great things about pdfpc and also Pympress. For Pympress, then notes are embedded in the .pdf file themselves (by adding a right/left side of PDF pages I think).

I can test this on Linux at some point, but I guess the best on all platforms is to then not even try to run configure.py and instead give a clear message "Python not found. LyX will not work correctly.", and then maybe link to platform specific info on what to do if Python is not found. In any case, this definitely seems tricky.

Thanks for that detailed explanation, Stephan. Do I understand then that this issue is a long-term issue on macOS that we should expect for future versions as well? That is, it is not just an issue that appears when upgrading to Ventura. As is, even a new Apple computer that comes with Ventura pre-installed will not have Python by default and thus will have the issue. It's good to know that LyX's own python check triggers the popup. Would it make sense to have a lighter python check that does not raise the popup, and conditional on that check LyX can give a user-friendly message like "macOS will prompt you to install python, which is necessary for LyX. We suggest you click on yes/accept/install" ? Of course, this will not cover all of the cases. For example, if a different program triggered the prompt and they said "no", then I imagine they will not see the popup again.

Can you reproduce this bug?
Dear all, Can you reproduce this bug on your system? https://www.lyx.org/trac/ticket/12435 It's helpful to know the type of systems on which it can be reproduced. Specifically, it will be helpful to figure out whether the bug only surfaces on certain operating systems, and only with certain configurations. Here is the recipe to reproduce the bug: 1. Maximize (non-fullscreen) the window 2. Enter Full screen mode 3. Exit Full screen. After step 3, does the LyX window return to the state after step (1)? i.e., is the window maximized? If you try to reproduce it, please state: 1. Can you reproduce the bug? 2. Your operating system and version number (version number is especially helpful for macOS users). 3. Copy/paste the info from Help > About. Here's my own responses to the 3 questions: 1. No. (the window is correctly restored as maximized after 3 for me). 2. Ubuntu 22.04. 3. Pasted info is below: Version 2.4.0dev (Sunday, December 4, 2022) Built from git commit hash abd69b06 Qt Version (run-time): 5.15.3 on platform xcb Qt Version (compile-time): 5.15.3 Python detected: python3 -tt Thanks!

That sounds really frustrating! I do not think you should buy a new computer just because of this. We are working on releasing 2.4.0, and I wonder if this will somehow work for you since it has a lot of improvements compared to the version you're using. Wow, 14 hours a day! I wonder if there is an entry in the Guiness Book of World Records for LyX usage? It is our goal that you should not have to know anything about Python, Unix, Qt, C++, etc., to use LyX. Unfortunately, in practice it's hard to achieve that since LyX has a lot of things it needs to work well and sometimes the parts don't line up.

Further, we have only one LyX developer whose main operating system is macOS and I'm not even sure if they are on Ventura so I don't know if there will be a fix anytime soon since it's hard to figure out what the problem is and how to fix it.

Are they completely separate .lyx files, or do you produce them from the same .lyx file? Only if you have time (no worries if not!): Since you have 2.4.0dev set up: can you export your .lyx file to 2.3.x, and open the exported file in master? Does compilation succeed? Are there any differences in the PDF? (a great tool for checking is diffpdf). Doing this "roundtrip" conversion is a helpful test of lyx2lyx.

The current approach I use is that I created a command 'lyx-noauth', that uses the '-usedir' argument that points to a user directory where I did uncheck the "Use needauth option" box. I use 'lyx -e blah.lyx' when I don't want needauth disabled, and 'lyx-noauth -e blah.lyx' when I do want to disable need auth on the command line. Do you think that will work with your workflow?

As for the downside, we try not to clutter menus too much so it's nice to know that people will use a feature. It seems like an intuitive feature to add and the functionality fits well in that menu, but it would still be nice to know that someone would use it.

Request for feedback: open/close all insets of a branch ?
Dear all LyX branch users, Have you ever wished there were a way to open (or close) all insets of a certain branch? We have a pending patch on lyx-devel that would add an option to the context-menu when you right-click on the inset of a branch. E.g., we could add two entries "Open All" and "Close All". Would you use this feature? Could you describe a particular use case i.e., some context and a reason why you want to open all branch insets of a specific branch in that context?

Hi Gour, I've used the grammar checker in the past and found it useful, but indeed I remember it required some setting up. I haven't used it in a while so I wouldn't be surprised if the Wiki page is outdated. I don't think there's any other option for LyX that fits in seamlessly, unfortunately. I wish LyX had native grammar checking just like it has spell checking, but currently no one is working on it.

As I work more with Beamer, I think your proposal makes a lot of sense and would simplify things.

Does LyX's natively support Beamer \onslide command?
In LyX can I use the \onslide command without ERT? Perhaps there's no native LyX support since the functionality can be achieved with \uncover or \only? I'm still wrapping my head around overlays in Beamer. I did a search but only found that we added support (at 3ab2798b) for \onslide for Powerdot.

Ah true that is a good idea. I suppose the first step is for me to

That's a good idea. I might change to that. The reason why I initially
chose "align" was so that if I do two (small) aligns on one frame, both
would restart to (1). But that's a very rare situation anyway.
I guess I might want to do both of the above LaTeX commands, in theory.
Almost all the time though, it's just one align on one frame so it won't
make a big difference.
Thank you!

Ah indeed there is some interaction with another local patch I have
applied. I don't think the patch is necessary to reproduce the issue in
this thread (without it, it seems LyX marks them as #.1, #.2, #.3, #.4;
but for completeness I attach it (it is against current master).
I also attach an example .lyx file. I saved it as 2.3.x format just for
simplicity, but I am testing on current master. Note that the LyX file
has a preamble (that resets the counter to 0 in LaTeX) as well as a
local layout (that specifies the Within).
I also attach a screenshot, which has Frame number patch applied.
Instead of the equation labels "1.1, 1.2, 2.1, 2.2", I would prefer
"1, 2, 1, 2" in the LyX display.
Thanks,
Scott

Subject: [PATCH] beamer.layout: display frame number in LyX display
TODO:
(LyXMessage-ID:)
For some reason, if one keeps the TocLevel to 4, the label "Frame ..."
disappears. But, I guess, as long as you don't use Subsubsection in your
presentation, it should be no problem?
TODO:
(LyXMessage-ID:)
But instead of an empty LabelString, LyX seems to treat it the same as if it
hadn't been defined and adds just the number in front. Maybe this is a bug?
Motivation: Doug would find it useful, racoon suggested upstream
also:
LyXMessage-ID:
Thanks to racoon for the help. I think I would have given up on my
initial try without your help.
TODO (optional): in fragile frame layout, any way to just append "(fragile)",
to avoid having to duplicate "\theframe" ? Also for plain frame.
