Environment menu stops working

2004-09-25 Thread rlist
Hello, new user here. I searched the archive to reasonable depth about
this problem but couldn't find anything.

I just installed LyX under Gentoo 2004.2 . The installation went OK but
as I started to try it out a problem occurs. 

After clicking on the down arrow-icon (which you do to select
enviroments) twice it stops working, i.e. I don't get the menu to change
environment. What I mean by twice is I click on the icon once so the
menu shows up and then again to get rid of the menu. The problem seems
to occur only then and not when I click once and then actually chose an
item from the menu.

If I click on various parts of the document after the error occurs, the
current enviroment is shown there (e.g. Standard or Section) as it
should and everything else works. The down arrow icon gets marked with
a rectangle when I click on it but the menu just refuses to show up. The
only solution I have found at this stage is to restart LyX. To avoid the
problem from the beginning it seems I must select an item from the menu
every time, i.e. I don't have the luxary of changing my mind. This is
annoying.
