Phantom spaces
In the attached lyx file, phantom at the beginning of a line results in a new-line. I have to use ctrl-space and insert a hard space to get the phantom to take any effect. I'm also thinking what about a phantom text style (as text styles can be nested) but this might need whatever magic is required to get phantom to work at the start of a line.

To change this, you can either add a zero space (width of 0pt) before the phantom or you force a line break before the phantom, see attached.

A phantom is no real style and therefore not implemented as character style. For the next major LyX release LyX 1.7 it is possible to insert phantoms via the Insert menu, see http://wiki.lyx.org/LyX/NewInLyX20#commands regards Uwe phantom.lyx Description: application/lyx
