James I think LyX is always making those backups, and usually, when it detects the backup file being newer than the original, it suggests you to open the backup-file. But when you create a new document, it will temporarily be saved in a directory depending on your platform and installation, until you save it to a specific location. So in your case, there may be a backup of newfile1.lyx somewhere around, but I think it could have been overwritten in the meantime. Greetings, Florian

Half an hour's work was completely lost, however, ouch :-( when I: - setthe icon size to 'small' - tried to move the second row of buttons to be next to the first I dropped the draged buttons and, bag! end of process. Sound like this bug: http://bugzilla.lyx.org/show_bug.cgi?id=5499 (apparently a bug in the qt library) Jürgen

Couldn't reproduce the crash, but the sections of 'coolbar' or whatever the are don't seem to snap to docking points like they do in MFC apps. James Where is your backup that is made every 5 minutes ? Vincent
