No, this is on the first compilation (as well as on subsequent compilations).

I just verified that the problem does *not* occur on my laptop, which is the same OS, same versions of LyX and Acrobat Reader, but a 32 bit version of the OS and two cores (the bug occurs on a box with a 64 bit version of the OS and four cores).

When it is on the first compilation, acroread doesn't freeze, right? If this is the case, then it's a bug in acroread: it doesn't automatically reload a PDF document when it has been resaved to disk.

Tim, I don't think it was simple. When I previewed the document all was visible and centered above the figure caption. When the document was compiled with pdflatex the resulting figure was shifted slightly to the right. When I inserted the figure and elected to trim to the bounding box as reported by the graphic file the lower left corner was inset by 36 pixels in both directions. Since that was the default I left it. Most figures I insert (regardless of format) have the origin at 0,0. Shifting the origin from 36,36 to 0,0 kept the compiled document from shifting the figure. Shrug. Thanks, Rich

LyX causes Acrobat Reader Freeze (?)
Hi all, I just ran into a bug, but I'm not sure who the culprit is. The setup is LyX 2.0.0 and Acrobat Reader 9 (specifically 9.4.2-0natty1 on Mint 11 Katya (forked from Ubuntu Natty). If I create a document of more than one page in LyX (I've tested both article and beamer classes, both new and old documents) and preview it using pdflatex, Acrobat Reader freezes on the first page (no scroll bars, no reaction to any inputs) until I force-quit it. This happens whether using xdg-open or telling LyX directly to use acroread. Previewing does not freeze Evince. Once I force-quit Reader, I can open the PDF sitting in the temporary directory in Reader and no freeze occurs, so the document itself is not defective. (Acrobat Reader appears to be configured to allow only one instance at a time, so I can't open the PDF in a second instance while the first is frozen.) I didn't see anything about this in Trac or on the list. FWIW, the system is 64-bit and the PC is quad core (AMD). Any clues what's going on? Thanks, Paul

I did two things and I don't know if both were required, but it works now. First, I recompiled the graphviz file to directly output a .pdf file. Second, I moved the default bounding box (read from file) so the origin is at (0,0) rather than the default (36,36). It was probably the latter that fixed the problem, but the pdf also is much clearer than was the .eps. Whew! Rich

Figure Shifts Right When Exported
I've been fighting this for a couple of hours now and have not yet found a solution. I have a rather large .eps figure inserted in a float. I set the width to 80% of the text width and the paragraph justification to center. When I preview the page using ctrl-x, ctrl-p I see the figure propertly displayed (it's rotated 90 degrees so the 'top' is just above the '1' in Figure 1 and the 'bottom' is just within the right page edge.) After exporting via pdflatex, when I view the page (xpdf, epdfview, acroread) the figure has shifted slightly to the right so the 'bottom' is truncated. I've not seen this behavior before. I'm running lyx-2.0 on slackware-13.1. I can send the file, the .eps figure, or whatever would help determine why it's fighting me so hard. Help really appreciated, Rich
