nothing to do about that.
It seems to me that LyX 2.3 sets fractions slightly too low compared to the
baseline when entering equations. Of course once they are typeset, they move to
the correct position. But in the math input mode it's almost as though
fractions are in subscript mode. Anyone else noticed?
A sequence of multiple buffer exports works in 2.3.0 -- they did not do so in

sometimes not). For example now I have the keyboard shortcut

LaTeX is great when you write for a medium
