I suspect this is correct.  As a JabRef user, copying (Ctrl-C) from the
preview results in HTML but it seems that right-click -> Copy will produce
something that is effectively plain text.  Why there is seemingly
dissimilar behavior between like commands is a mystery.

Hope this helps,
Joel

It looks as if what's copied from JabRef is HTML and LyX is trying to
convert it to LaTeX for pasting. If you run from a terminal, you might
get more info on what the error is.

cutting and pasting text in LyX document error

2020-11-28 Thread Wolfgang Engelmann
If I cut and paste text from literature in e.g. Jabref in a LyX document 
I get this error

An error occurred while running:
python -tt $$s/scripts/html2latexwrapper.py gnuhtml2latex
"Buffer_importStringMHQHEd.html" "Buffer_importStringMHQHEd.tex"

Not important, since it includes the pasted text in spite of the warning.

Just curious
