Slowness

2007-12-10 Thread Torquil Macdonald Sørensen
Hello, Does anybody else experience that LyX1.5.2 sometimes becomes extremely slow? So slow that after pressing a key I must wait 1sec to see the character appear in the document. I have not yet been able to detect any underlying pattern behind this behaviour, but it is always fixed

Hi again, Duh, I should have noticed earlier ... the .lyx file saved by the LyX GUI (i.e., into my working directory, not the temporary directory) is *also* a complete end-to-end parse of my .tex file (i.e., has my trailing bibtex invocation, \end_document, etc). I did a diff between this

Another obvious thing I should now mention is that, if I Open the saved .lyx file (the one saved earlier by LyX into my working directory) into a new LyX session, then the same LyX:Document Format Failure popup error occurs. So the problem is likely well past the tex2lyx stage?

Problem pasting LaTeX Code into a LyX equation

I'm using LyX Version 1.5.2 on a PC with Windows XP. I'm copying expressions from MathType that have been appropriately translated to LaTeX and pasting them into LyX. These expressions always display correctly when pasted into LyX's Raw TeX Code field, but they don't always display correctly

Hi Anyone, This is really bizarre, but progress nonetheless. I'm finding that if I merely add the trim=0.00in 0.00in 0.000in 0.00in, directive into the \includegraphics[ section, things work out! That is, at/near the point in my .tex file where I *don't* do this, is where
