Re: slow cursor speed
Scott, Sorry to trouble you again. As mentioned below, downgrading to 2.3.0 fixes my slow cursor speed issue. It however does present the new problem of no being able to edit files I have written since. Specifically I get this error message now: filepath.lyx is from a newer version of LyX and the lyx2lyx script failed to convert it. Is there a straightforward workaround?

Hi Scott, I found a clue. The problem of slow cursor speed is not present in 2.3.0, but it is present in all versions subsequent to that.

Re: slow cursor speed
Hi Scott, Thanks. So to summarize, the most recent versions of LyX on my MacOS Monterey setup led to increasingly slow typing and cursor speed with increasing paragraph length, even for paragraphs not very long with nothing else in the document. The fix seems to be to revert to version 2.3.

Re: slow cursor speed
Hi Scott, I backtracked on LyX version to 2.3.0 from 2018. That seems to have fixed the slow cursor and typing seed problems fingers crossed. It does however introduce a new problem which is the below. If you know a simple fix I should be good I hope.

Scott, Well an unfortunate update. Scrolling works fine. But select (shift arrow) scrolling has the same issue of being slower with longer paragraphs. It seems some bug was fixed perhaps suggesting there’s a related bug too that might need addressing?

slow cursor speed
I’m near the point that I have to abandon LyX after using it religiously as an academic since 2000 (when it was kLyX-0.12). That makes me *very* sad. The problem is that as a paragraph gets longer, the cursor gets slower. The paragraph doesn’t have to be very long (e.g. a few sentences) for this to be a significant issue. A single paragraph of plain text could be the only thing in the document. Thanks to those who have helped previously but still no progress.

Re: Laggy cursor
For what it’s worth, thanks to Stephan’s comments, LyX starts up normally now with the re-initialization of the LyX-2.3 folder per the below. But the laggy cursor with longer paragraphs issue remains. I do not experience this in other writing apps (e.g. Word), or any lagginess at all. Again, help much appreciated as this is kind of crippling for any writing I do for work.

In hindsight, should have anticipated the python was unrelated to speed. Apologies I’ve minimized applications checking Activity Monitor.

Re: Laggy cursor
You’re genius. Thank you. Deleted old python installation. Installed new python installation from Python.org. Fingers crossed all better now. No laggy cursor and no hiccups on lyx initialization. So to recap, the fix for a slow cursor with long paragraphs was to reinstall Python confirming it shows up in /Applications Tim On 10 Aug 2023, at 5:27, Stephan Witt wrote: > Am 10.08.2023 um 07:11 schrieb Tim Garrett : >> >> Thanks.

Re: Laggy cursor
Thanks. Not sure I did it right, but this is what I did. Added that string to the PATH as follows /Library/TeX/texbin:/usr/texbin:/sw/bin:/sw/sbin:/opt/local/teTeX/bin:/opt/local/bin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/usr/X11R6/bin:/usr/sbin:/sbin:/Users/tgarrett/opt/anaconda3/bin quit, restarted, reconfigured. Still get the same error message: The layout file: article could not be found. A default textclass with default layouts will be used. LyX will not be able to produce correct output.

Re: Laggy cursor
Hi Scott, Thank you for the quick response. Definitely not a branch. If the source LaTeX pane is the code preview pane, that is not open either (I also noticed that suggestion searching through threads).

Laggy cursor
I’ve been having a problem with cursor and typing speed. I find the speed of the cursor is inversely proportional to the length of the paragraph I write. Fine for one sentence. Anything more is pretty bad and of course gets tiresome. I’d appreciate any ideas as I’ve been a user since KLyX 0.3 in 2001 so pretty much my entire career is now on a super-laggy platform.

Re: lyx2lyx fails to convert
Excellent. Thanks Stephan and Paul.
/System/Volumes/Data/Applications/LyX.app/Contents/Resources/lyx2lyx/lyx2lyx
-v Contrast\ paper.lyx > Test.lyx
produced a document Test.lyx that could be read by LyX 2.3.6.2.
This converted document was fairly recent (2016) so fingers crossed it
works too on older documents as well.

Hi Tim,
you have to change your command - lyx2lyx is a folder in Resources:
Sorry, this one sends the standard output to trash… this is useful

works that way).
$

To verify the output in terminal you should use it w/o redirect to

-v Contrast\ paper.lyx | less
to view the result page by page.
Another option is to use the message pane in LyX:
1. Start LyX
2. Activate Message Pane (menu item of the View menu)
3. Switch to the Settings tab
4. Choose „Selected“ at left and „info“ at right.
5. Open the file „Contrast paper.lyx“
6. Check the Output contents of the Message Pane

In case it’s a python problem the following command and it’s

There does not seem to be any problem with the header. I created an
empty LyX document with it, and the lyx2lyx script had no issues
processing it. So the problem must be in the document body.
You can try the following. Find the lyx2lyx executable on your
system. On Debian based Linux systems, it defaults to
/usr/share/lyx/lyx2lyx/lyx2lyx. I have no idea where it is on a Mac,
so I'll just refer to the equivalent string as "". In a
terminal window, run
-v
which should print the converted document line by line in the
terminal window. If it gorks, hopefully you will be able to see what
it choked on and possibly an error message, which you can bring back
to the list.

pdf preview in LyX 2.0
I just updated to LyX 2.0 (mac os X 10.6.8) and the pdf preview feature no longer works. It used to pop up in adobe acrobat. Now LyX successfully processes the file, but no longer opens the acrobat window. I am still able to successfully export a pdf to my directory tree, but of course this requires the extra step of opening before the file is viewable. I have tried hard-wiring the pdflatex executable to acrobat under Preferences -- File Handling --File Format -- Viewer but to no avail. I can open a dvi but dvipdfm doesn't work, so I suspect there's something in the link to the pdf handler that is broken. Thanks for advice. Tim

I just updated to LyX 2.0 (mac os X 10.6.8) and the pdf preview feature no longer works. It used to pop up in adobe acrobat. Now LyX successfully processes the file, but no longer opens the acrobat window. I am still able to successfully export a pdf to my directory tree, but of course this requires the extra step of opening before the file is viewable. I have tried hard-wiring the pdflatex executable to acrobat under Preferences --> File Handling --File Format --> Viewer but to no avail. I can open a dvi but dvipdfm doesn't work, so I suspect there's something in the link to the pdf handler that is broken. Thanks for advice. Tim
