Lyx window exceeds screen size

2014-10-30 Thread Atanu Ghosh 
Hi

I am a user of Lyx in my netbook for the past one year. But recently I
noticed that many windows in Lyx launch to a size that is larger than my
netbook screen. As a result I cannot use the Ok button to confirm my
changes/ customizations. Further these windows does not allow resizing.

I faced it specially with the preferences  option in Tool menu   and
when I want to insert any citation from the Insert -Citation  option.

Please suggest me some way so that I can insert citation in the documents
or can resize that window.


Thanks in advance

You probably had opened that file on a machine with a larger screen 
earlier.  It will often open in that same size the next time it is run.  
But there is a trick to use on your laptop (this may vary with your 
GUI).  Click on the window while holding down the ALT key, then move the 
mouse.  The window should move.  Then you can find the OK button and 
resizing tabs.

option.
Ah, these never allow resizing.  Again, ALT+Left click-hold and drag 
should work.

FWIW, these are both resizable on OS X.

This thread reminded me of a problem with the size of the dialog box for Insert 
- Cross-reference, so I filed a ticket for it.

Hi

I am a user of Lyx in my netbook for the past one year. But recently I
noticed that many windows in Lyx launch to a size that is larger than my
netbook screen. As a result I cannot use the "Ok" button to confirm my
changes/ customizations. Further these windows does not allow resizing.

I faced it specially with the "preferences " option in "Tool" menu   and
when I want to insert any citation from the "Insert -Citation " option.

Please suggest me some way so that I can insert citation in the documents
