LyX / Beamer bugs?

[Torquil Macdonald Sørensen]

Hi!

I think I have managed to write myself into a corner that I'm unable to get out 
of, using LyX 2.0.3 and the Beamer document class.


I have attached my LyX file, but I will explain the two issues first:

1) I don't understand how to insert an EndFrame at the bottom of the document, 
after the Block. If I put the cursor at the last possible position and press 
Enter, The Block environment only expands downwards, and I'm not given a new 
blank line. Downward arrow doesn't work either. If I could get a new blank line 
at the bottom of the document, I could insert an EndFrame there.


2) There seems to be something wrong with the layout... The 
ColumnsCenterAligned and each Column are located too far to the left, even 
outside the area of the LyX window... This must be a bug, no?


Any pointers on what I can do to fix these tvo issues? I have attached the 
problematic LyX file for any kind soul that are willing te analyse my problem.


Thanks!
Torquil Sørensen

Hit Enter, select 'Standard' paragraph style (if you like) from the
combo-box, then select 'EndFrame'. It is also a paragraph style and
should replace the 'Block' one.

If you have trouble with building a Beamer presentation from scratch,
I would suggest starting with the beamer*.lyx template (File  New
from Template) and trimming it down till it fits your needs. At each
step make sure that the document compiles.

That's the thing, I did just that because that is what I normally do, but it 
didn't work in this situation. The vertical line corresponding to the Block 
environment expanded downwards, and when I inserted the EndFrame, it appeared 
inside the Block environment...

Thanks, but those don't seem to have any example of two columns inside a Block.

Btw, it seems that there is a problem in the german file:

de_beamer-conference-ornate-20min.lyx

Above the heading Unterabschnitt 2.2: Ideen für Beweise/Umsetzung, there seems 
to bo a layout problem similar to mine, where some red text disappears off the 
left hand side of the LyX window, where ColumnsTopAligned is started.


(and also the same problem in the French template file.

I guess it's an issue with paragraph depth. Try 'shift + tab'. Does
the attached do what you want?

Hi!

Unfortunately, that LyX doc doesn't compile here. I get an error message popup 
when trying to View (pdflatex). I really appreciate your helpful effort, though.


I have decided that there are several problems with the lyx+beamer combination 
that I cannot live with or don't have time te deal with right now, so I've 
changed to lyx+foiltex, which seems to work very well. Actually, I think I have 
all I need with foiltex and a few other small packages, so I might stick with 
that in the long run.

IT doesn't compile here either, but it does have the 'EndFrame' at the end.

As I suggested earlier, you should try to build from an existing
_compilable_ example (such as the templates shipped by LyX) and
remove/add elements as you see fit, making sure throughout these
modifications that the document compiles. In my experience LyX works
very nicely with Beamer.

I have started from a compilable example, and then compiled after each
