Re: I can't insert symbols in math environments since I switched to El Capitan
I just found out that this problem had been mentioned on the developers's list: http://www.mail-archive.com/lyx-devel@lists.lyx.org/msg188996.html. That poster also shows one thing that solves the problem, though in a very unsatisfactory way. Is that the trick you were describing?
Re: I can't insert symbols in math environments since I switched to El Capitan
Hey Paola, Thanks again for your help but, after trying, I still can't make it work. I click on the button at the bottom of the LyX window, that opens the panel with all the Greek letters. But then I still can't click on the letter I want, even if I try to click on every empty spaces I can find in the panel first. Could you say more about what empty spaces you're talking about? What version of LyX do you use? I'm using version 2.1.4. I agree that the problem seems to be that, when you open a panel with different symbols, LyX doesn't realize the panel is opened and you can't insert a symbol by clicking on it. Right now the only way I can insert symbols is by using the menu, but that's a major waste of time. I really hope a fix will be released soon. Best, Philippe
Re: El Capitan
ok, do not know why, but this works:
go into the Document settings, select "Fonts", and tick the option "Use
non-TeX fonts (via XeTeX/LuaTeX)".
This made the view and compile button work for me.
best,
paola

Re: I can't insert symbols in math environments since I switched to El Capitan
Philippe, I have the same problem, but playing aournd with this, I have found the following: first click with the mouse on the "empty" space to the right corner of the greek letters panel (nothing happens), then click on the letter you need. It is as if the mouse was not recognising the panel with the letters was open: if you over over \beta for instance you can see "set top line", so it is as if you were hovering over the set top line symbol, wihtout the panel open. Clicking on the empy part of the panel with the greek letters seem to make LyX understand the panel is there.

Re: El Capitan
After updating to El Capitan earlier today, I am also having problems. First, the same that Robert Dolan specified: the document would not compile. After reconfiguring, I get "AMS Class article"... not found when opening a document created in Lyx 2.4 Interesting, same thing happens if I try to create a new document. I tried unistalling Lyx and re-installing it from scratch, but the problem persists. Very grateful for any pointers! paola On 01/10/2015 20:10, Stephan Witt wrote: Am 01.10.2015 um 20:28 schrieb Robert Dolan : Hello, I am using the latest version of Lyx with MacTex 2015 on OX El Capitan.

I can't insert symbols in math environments since I switched to El Capitan
Hi everyone, I just updated MacOS X to El Capitan and, since I did, I cannot insert symbols in math environments anymore. When I click on a button at the bottom of the LyX window to insert a symbol like a Greek letter, it displays the list of symbols of that type, but the mouse pointer is the same as if it was just above my text so I can't click on any of the symbols. Does anybody else has this problem since they updated MacOS X? This is really bad for me because it means I basically cannot do *any* work!
