Hi Bruce,

I just wanted to make sure that you saw Günter's message (pasted above),
since he had a good idea, to experiment with different fonts.

RE: LyX & BibTeX & complex author names

Wolfgang,

Thanks a lot for giving the BibTeX syntax rule... I have always (?) used 
“Firstname Surname”…

Have you tried to mouse-click on the author field and select

? You might also choose a different style file. Tell us, how you would like to 
have your citation.

which boils down to

If a name has "Junior" component (and no "von" component), it needs to be 
entered as SurnameComponent, JuniorComponent, FirstNameComponent. Note that 
there are now two commas, not one. This is a BibTeX syntax rule that's 
independent of the bibliography style you employ.

Hence, you need to enter the second author's name as Bassett, Jr., Gilbert.

It's not local to you. I just reproduced it here (Linux Mint 18.2, LyX 
2.2.3) with exactly the same error message. I would suggest searching 
the bug tracker for "CoordCache", to see if there's already a bug for 
it, and filing one if not.

Re: split viewing

Hello,

The split viewing (upper and lower) works well when only one document is open

However, when more documents are opened, then the splitting is weird,
mixing of upper, lower, left and right corners. Actually, all the
documents are split.
Maybe I missed something, but it would be a lot more convenient if
we could split the documents one by one, cf, keep a document
non split, while another one is split.

I am not sure that I understand. Can you show us a screenshot, maybe?
