So after checking bugzilla I search the archives of the Developer mailing list but it is a while before their workarounds filter over to the User list. http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=lyx-devel sometimes this archive is down, so I use http://www.mail-archive.com/lyx-devel@lists.lyx.org/ http://www.lyx.org/internet/mailing.php has a link to the LyX Wiki which is also searchable. I usually search those first before I report a bug on the developer list. Georg on the developer list has a good grasp on all the reported bugs. I 've seen your problem reported before but can't remember the details. If it is new, he or someone will direct you to file a bug report. LyX->Tools->Preferences->Language settings-> Language, has a default setting for Language: Is yours set to French? LyX137 is very stable and has received a lot of polish. The developers have made Aspell compatible for both LyX137 and LyX14x and the default installation of LyX14x creates a separate installation folder up in .../Application data Lyx1.4.x, so that preferences are not confused or overwritten. I think it is prudent to preserve the LyX137 version as some functions may not have survived the major transition to LyX140. Though this is useful information, I will look around for something more specific to a solution for you, and maybe somebody directly involved with your problem will correct it. Juergen is strong in this area. Regards, Stephen

Stephen Harris a écrit : But did you uninstall Cygwin? Cygwin comes with a different version of sh.exe and sed.exe than Minsys. So if you put Minsys ahead of Cygwin in windows Path, then LyX will read that directory before Cygwin. That means it will use the Msys versions of sh.exe and sed.exe which are the correct versions of those files needed to install LyX. Uninstalling Cygwin's LyX does not uninstall Cygwin's sh.exe and sed.exe Thank you Stephen for your help. I did what you suggested and I put Minsys ahead of Cygwin in windows Path.

Works for me. Note however, that the way of inserting slightly changed. You
have to type
\text{\textipa{...}}
or hit C-M twice to get in text mode.
1.3 automatically converted \textipa to text mode. This is not the case
anymore in 1.4, which makes life for mathematicians obviously easier.
With Qtree, the lines aren't drawn in, but show up if you do a ps2pdf run.
I see this, too. However, using

Stephen Harris a écrit : But did you uninstall Cygwin? Cygwin comes with a different version of sh.exe and sed.exe than Minsys.
