Now I made an opposite test on my old system (w/ LyX 2.1.2 and TL 2014): in a document which uses LuaTeX, I chose portrait orientation in LyX and the output was correctly oriented. So, some change in LyX and/or LuaTeX (under Linux) now prevents the choices made within LyX from being passed correctly to LuaTeX, whereas it worked before. Fortunately I found a workaround. -- Daniel CLEMENT

Re: Luatex not previewing A4-landscape
Would you perhaps have a Minimal Working Example so others can test this?

Well it's certainly related to LuaTex (a test document without LuaTex previews just fine in A4, landscape). Or perhaps LyX fails to transmit its paper size/orientation options to LuaTex?

Is there a ways to set the paper size from the TeX system for LuaTeX? I remember the times that the TeX system dictates the paper sizes. Your problem might be related to that? But not sure...
