Surefire method to crash Lyx 1.15fix1
I have just compiled and installed 1.15fix1 under Redhat Linux 6.2 x86 with version 0.89 of the XForms library on my new laptop. About midnight last night I discovered, much to my surprise, that an accidental middle mouse button click over the information bar at the bottom of the Lyx window will produce a core dump - every time, without fail. Thank god for emergency saves I have not yet dissected the core file, so I don't know where it is falling over, but if any of the developers want more information I can provide it. Anybody else able to reproduce this? FYI I am running it under XFree86 3.3.6 with the KDE window manager v0.14 patch level 3. -- David C Martin ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) Materials Engineering Laboratory, Mechanical Engineering Department, University of Oulu PO Box 4200 Oulun Yliopisto 90014 FINLAND

Problem or bug with footnotes in a description environment
Hi, I am tring to put a footnote at the end of a label in a "description" environment. This does not work properly: either the footnotes shows but there is a blank space between the label and the indice or the indice is well positioned but the footnote does not show at all... How to do that in a working way? I include a little example. I am using LyX 1.1.5fix1 on a i386 with Linux Mandrake.

Enumerate kludge
I'm trying to achieve this effect with enumerate:
"There are 3 options, which are:
1. Option 1
2. Option 2
and finally, under very specific circumstances:
3. Option 3
Those are all the options."
Obviously, Option 3 comes out as a new Option 1 if I just start a new
enumerate environment, and the text between options 2 3 can be nested,
as it wants to be fully left justified (its not specific to option 2).
The only way I've been able to do this so far is to replace option 3
with the rather horrible:
"\being{enumerate}
\setcounter{enumi}{2}
\item Option 3"
This works, but won't if the final option becomes option 4 for example
(unless I remember to change the \setcounter command).
So is there a standard environment type I could use for the intervening
text which would be both left justified like the normal environment and
doesn't reset the enumi counter back to 1?
A CC: by email would be most appreciated, as I only have a temporary
email address at the moment and don't want to subscribe until I have a
permanent one.
Thanks,
David.

Hello
I have problem trying make picture floats in my text look pretty.
I put them mostly at dedicated pages (using [p]). It look ok if
page is filled. But when, for example, I have 3 pictures to place on two
pages they are put 2 on first and 1 on second. Last picture is centered
vertically on page. When those two pages are viewed simultaneously it
looks
ugly.
I looked for solution foe whole day and found nothing (probaly looking
in wrong
place). Is it any way to make floats not vertically centered ?
try a
\vspace{10cm} behind caption in a new line (!)
or behind the picture, if the caption is above (also in a new line!)
the value of 10cm is only an example. the problem is that \vfill does'nt
wirk in a float.

page is filled. But when, for example, I have 3 pictures to place on two
pages they are put 2 on first and 1 on second. Last picture is centered
vertically on page. When those two pages are viewed simultaneously it
looks
ugly.
I looked for solution foe whole day and found nothing (probaly looking
in wrong
place). Is it any way to make floats not vertically centered ?
try a
\vspace{10cm} behind caption in a new line (!)
or behind the picture, if the caption is above (also in a new line!)
the value of 10cm is only an example. the problem is that \vfill does'nt
wirk in a float.

Surefire method to crash Lyx 1.15fix1
I have just compiled and installed 1.15fix1 under Redhat Linux 6.2 x86 with version 0.89 of the XForms library on my new laptop. About midnight last night I discovered, much to my surprise, that an accidental middle mouse button click over the information bar at the bottom of the Lyx window will produce a core dump - every time, without fail. Thank god for emergency saves I have not yet dissected the core file, so I don't know where it is falling over, but if any of the developers want more information I can provide it. Anybody else able to reproduce this? FYI I am running it under XFree86 3.3.6 with the KDE window manager v0.14 patch level 3. -- David C Martin ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) Materials Engineering Laboratory, Mechanical Engineering Department, University of Oulu PO Box 4200 Oulun Yliopisto 90014 FINLAND

Problem or bug with footnotes in a description environment
Hi, I am tring to put a footnote at the end of a label in a "description" environment. This does not work properly: either the footnotes shows but there is a blank space between the label and the indice or the indice is well positioned but the footnote does not show at all... How to do that in a working way? I include a little example. I am using LyX 1.1.5fix1 on a i386 with Linux Mandrake. Emanuele Gissi PS A week ago, I posted a mail regarding accented characters and so on. Thanks for the help: now, my wife and me happily use the "compose" key on our keyboard. I also erased with a solvent the small MS-Win flag on the top of the "compose" button ;-) -- Emanuele Gissi & Alessia Franceschi via Damiano Chiesa 20/B 60123 Ancona - Italia tel: 0039 071 32979 - email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] fax: 0039 071 220.2256 "L'imagination, ce n'est pas le mensonge" [Daniel Pennac - Messieurs les enfants, ed.

I don't have 1.1.5fix1 installed (I use 1.1.6cvs, since I also program for it), but I don't see anything like that, a middle mouse click will just select the info bar. If you can provide the backtrace from the core it could help. After a few hours of sleep I can add that the X paste buffer must be empty for the crash to occur. If the X paste buffer contains something then it just pastes the contents of the buffer into the infobar (why is it editable at all?). The traceback shows the forms library clipboard request code to be the culprit, my amateurish guess is that it is not handling the empty X paste buffer gracefully - but what do I know?: (gdb) bt #0 0x4024fd41 in __kill () from /lib/libc.so.6 #1 0x4024f9b6 in raise (sig=6) at ../sysdeps/posix/raise.c:27 #2 0x402510d8 in abort () at ../sysdeps/generic/abort.c:88 #3 0x812a99c in lyx::chdir (name=0x400d59d4 "àÊ\013") at abort.C:9 #4 0x809f053 in error_handler (err_sig=11) at ../src/lyx_main.C:766 #5 0x4024fc68 in __restore () at ../sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/i386/sigaction.c:127 #6 0x40071a7a in gotit_cb () from /usr/lib/libforms.so.0.89 #7 0x40039551 in fl_request_clipboard () from /usr/lib/libforms.so.0.89 #8 0x40071ac1 in do_XPaste () from /usr/lib/libforms.so.0.89 #9 0x40071e5f in handle_it () from /usr/lib/libforms.so.0.89 #10 0x400788f3 in fl_handle_it () from /usr/lib/libforms.so.0.89 #11 0x400789b5 in fl_handle_object () from /usr/lib/libforms.so.0.89 #12 0x4004d59b in fl_handle_form () from /usr/lib/libforms.so.0.89 #13 0x4004e61f in do_interaction_step () from /usr/lib/libforms.so.0.89 #14 0x4004e649 in fl_treat_interaction_events () from /usr/lib/libforms.so.0.89 #15 0x4004e684 in fl_check_forms () from /usr/lib/libforms.so.0.89 #16 0x809b705 in LyXGUI::runTime (this=0x81b0928) at lyx_gui.C:596 #17 0x809c8a8 in LyX::LyX (this=0xbb44, argc=0xbb60, argv=0xbba4) at ../src/lyx_main.C:158 #18 0x80b8324 in main (argc=1, argv=0xbba4) at ../src/main.C:75 (gdb) Hope this helps. -- David C Martin ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) Materials Engineering Laboratory, Mechanical Engineering Department, University of Oulu PO Box 4200 Oulun Yliopisto 90014 FINLAND
Enumerate kludge
I'm trying to achieve this effect with enumerate:
"There are 3 options, which are:
1. Option 1
2. Option 2
and finally, under very specific circumstances:
3. Option 3
Those are all the options."
Obviously, Option 3 comes out as a new Option 1 if I just start a new
enumerate environment, and the text between options 2 & 3 can be nested,
as it wants to be fully left justified (its not specific to option 2).
The only way I've been able to do this so far is to replace option 3
with the rather horrible:
"\being{enumerate}
\setcounter{enumi}{2}
\item Option 3"
This works, but won't if the final option becomes option 4 for example
(unless I remember to change the \setcounter command).
So is there a standard environment type I could use for the intervening
text which would be both left justified like the normal environment and
doesn't reset the enumi counter back to 1?
A CC: by email would be most appreciated, as I only have a temporary
email address at the moment and don't want to subscribe until I have a
permanent one.
Thanks,
David.

It does the same thing on 1.1.4fix3 (I'm running Debian potato and haven't upgraded to the 1.1.5 version yet). I don't know where to check for core dumps, sorry. Lyx simply disappears on me.

Problem with crash on startup
I just installed Lyx 1.1.5fix1 on a notebook - in an unconventional setup based on the "Tomakus" mini distribution - and ran into problems upon starting the program. When I start with all debug options enabled, I get the following messages: [...] Workarea event:DRAW InitLyXLookup: X does not support this locale lyx: SIGSEGV signal caught Sorry, you have found a bug in LyX. [] Any ideas how to get rid of this behaviour? Florian

try a

or behind the picture, if the caption is above (also in a new line!)
the value of 10cm is only an example. the problem is that \vfill does'nt
