Dear Helge & Vincent

Thankyou for your speedy responses.  Turning off "instant preview" worked.  

You've made a PhD thesis writing student alot less stressed!

Thanks again

Or, look at Tools->Preferences->Graphics and set Instant Preview to Off.

Or, have a look at your preferences file in the LyX dir in your user
directory and look for some magic entry saying something about the size
of previews: '\\preview_scale_factor'. If it's there and it's not 0.9,
start wondering how it got there.

Looks like a problem with instant preview - but I don't know how
to fix that. Take a look at "Tools->Preferences->Screen Fonts", see if 
there are any strange sizes or zoom factors.


I assume this does not affect output, i.e. your PDFs or printouts are fine?
