Re: Problem using \text in cases?

I can't figure out why you would want to use a tab mark
here. If you just want an ampersand, the remedy is
simple: Just type `I\&' now. But if some right brace
up above has ended a previous alignment prematurely,
you're probably due for more error messages, and you
might try typing `S' now just to see what is salvageable.

You are correct about how to switch back to text mode. I just created a
new document, pasted your LaTeX into a math inset, and compiled to PDF
using pdflatex, dvipdfm and ps2pdf. The document compiled just fine with
all three methods.
Can you create a minimal document where the error occurs and include the
LyX file as an attachment to a response to the list? Also, which method
did you use to compile to PDF?

Opening and saving with newer versions could change something you don't want. Did you create the file using 2.0.8.1? Which version of LyX are you using now? How did you install that version? (e.g. from Ubuntu PPA?). There is no Ubuntu 14.0. Do you mean 16.4? Scott signature.asc Description: PGP signature

Re: Strange problem of which I have difficulty to locate the origin
Me again,
Sometime, Writing a message helps us to solve the problem I imagine.
I have solved the problem I think. turkish in Babe need ,shorthands=:! as
an option (to neutralize babel rules for =, it seems that they pose a
problem for xkeyval used by includegraphics). I was adding it in custom
options for the document, but it was not working it seems. I have thought
of trying to put it in the preamble by putting
\usepackage[shorthands=:!]{babel}
and it worked. Both figures compile now.
I was not well aware of this possibility of adding supplementary options
through the preamble. It works very well.
Thank you very much!

Strange problem of which I have difficulty to locate the origin
Dear list members, I have been using LyX for many years but I currently meet a strange problem: I am writing my first article in Turkish and I use turkish as a babel mode (with english) and I cannot scale or resize any included PDF figure (I typeset with pdflatex). In the attached example file the fisr figure has a scaling instruction, but the second has not; You can see in the resulting PDF that the first figure is not included and we see a bit of the scaling instruction given to \includegraphics instead. The second is correctly included. Is this a feature or a bug? FYI: If I export to latex, I can compile the file with both figures. Any idea why I get this problem, and how I can solve it?

Equations displaced on the screen
Equations with labels appear largely displaced on the right side of the lyx window on the screen, as pointer switches focus from the math mode of that equation to the text display mode.
