Re: Slow, lacking scroll and cursor (LyX 2 -- Ubuntu 11.04)

 You can make an experiment and add this to your preferences file:

 \force_paint_single_char false

 You have to add it manually - there is no GUI in preferences dialog...
 The preferences file is $HOME/.lyx/preferences if I remember right.

*This definitely helped!* I can still get Xorg to max out, but now
mouse wheel scrolling is far smoother -- even a rather heavy document
does not chop or lack when scrolling. I also helped when scrolling
with arrows per line, but there I still got it to lack. In neither
case could I get it grey out, though. I tried removing removing the
line again, and checked the heavier document, and there is no doubt it
had an effect -- without it, I could immediately get LyX to become
non-responsive.

Is there also some some trick I can try to speed up vertical cursor
movement --- only a problem through, well, any kind of environments. I
have already turned off all auto toolbars. As an example, moving the
cursor through epistemological point of view in Hintikka's
Epistemology without Knowledge and without Belief with Hintikka's
marked as misspelled, the cursor chops through the first three/four
characters and the disappears and resurfaces close to the middle of
Knowledge, continuing from there full speed. I noticed that the
cursor does not chop when I hold shift, i.e. mark text.

Ok, good to know that. But you have to pay a price for it.
Now the drawing of text isn't in sync with cursor positioning.
At least it is possible. On my machine it's always wrong.
Since it depends on the fonts (AFAIK) I cannot tell how bad it's
on your side.

Hmmm... are you very short on system resources in general?
Is it swapping already? Or has very slow disks?

Far from it, one both accounts. I use only 0.41 of my 1.9 GB DDR3 RAM,

Is there some way I can get LyX to not draw the boxes, perhaps, around

maybe it simply the highlighting of these elements that cause

Alternative numbering for tables

2011-06-09 Thread Giacomo Z 
Dear Lyx users,

I searched on the list but I could not find any advice on my problem: I
would like to differently number the float tables. This is an example of a
sequence:
Table 1:
Table 2a:
Table 2b:
Table 3:
etc...

Is that possible? I found the LATEX package amsthm, but it seems not to be
designed for tables.

Many thanks.

Re: Alternative numbering for tables

2011-06-09 Thread Giacomo Zanello 
Many thanks Richard and Uwe. I am in a situation where the two tables have
very similar content but not to be put into the same table. Therefore, a
solution of numbering 1a and 2b may fit. I refer to the help section Owe
suggested me.

Many thanks for the prompt help.

Giacomo

please push any working advices and comments from this thread into
http://wiki.lyx.org/Tips/PerformanceIssues

the case when X takes 80% of time when scrolling is known for long time
but up to know nobody was willing to make profiling of lyx and libraries
below to catch the real culprit (via sysprof or oprofile).
