Re: Strange behaviour of initials module aka drop-caps
Your works file works for me, although I'm missing one of the modules you loaded (short-inset-names), which apparently is not critical. Your doesn't work file had two problems when I tried to fix. The first was that it had no title (I added one). The second was that the environment where you wanted the drop cap was Standard as opposed to Initial. I changed the environment to Initial, put the leading 'A' in the short title inset (which works for Initial but makes no sense for a standard environment, which takes no options) and it worked fine.

Re: Strange behaviour of initials module aka drop-caps
Thanks Paul. I don' know how I missed something as obvious as the Initial vs Standard Tired? Still I am good at missing the blindingly obviouw. I thought I'd removed the ShortInsertNames module. It's a new contributed module from Andrew Parsloe http://www.mail-archive.com/lyx-users@lists.lyx.org/msg96008.html that I have become very fond of. It reduces screen clutter amazingly.

Re: Strange behaviour of initials module aka drop-caps
Your "works" file works for me, although I'm missing one of the modules you loaded (short-inset-names), which apparently is not critical. Your "doesn't work" file had two problems when I tried to fix. The first was that it had no title (I added one). The second was that the environment where you wanted the drop cap was "Standard" as opposed to "Initial". I changed the environment to "Initial", put the leading 'A' in the short title inset (which works for "Initial" but makes no sense for a standard environment, which takes no options) and it worked fine.

Strange behaviour of initials module aka drop-caps
I was just playing around with LyX (2.0.6) and decided to put a drop-cap at the beginning of something I was writing and to my surprise the Short Title option is greyed out. The strange thing is that a) I got it to work fine last week, b) the examples I created last week compile just fine (again memoir class) but again the Short Titles option is greyed out so while the old files work I cannot insert a new drop cap. I suspect it's something specific to my setup but could someone check the attached files and see what if things look okay?
