The TWM I'm using is chunkwm (https://koekeishiya.github.io/chunkwm/). I use Flexiglass on macOS. I recall a problem with LyX some time back but I can’t remember what it was. Surely searching the list archive for “Flexiglass” will turn it up. Oh—you will need to search the developer mailing list. I don’t recall any recent problems, however. OK—I did it for you. 8^) I don’t know whether this is relevant on recent LyX versions. https://www.mail-archive.com/search?q=Flexiglass=lyx-devel%40lists.lyx.org Jerry

I'm still evaluating how it fits in with my workflow. However, I've found that it periodically doesn't treat LyX as consistently as the other applications I commonly use. That is, the TWM inconsistently fails to properly tile LyX's window. Does anyone else use a TWM (either with macOS or another OS)? If so, have you experienced any odd behavior or is this a "feature" of the particular TWM application I'm using? Thank you, Joel P.S. The TWM I'm using is chunkwm (https://koekeishiya.github.io/chunkwm/). I use the tiling window manager spectrwm on Linux. Took some time getting used to the forced tiling, but there don't seem to be any LyX-specific problems. Occationally, some old app gets trouble with tiling; Some popup like search/save/message meant to be small is tiled, and forced to some crazy large size. Spectrwm gives the option of overriding the tiling in its config file. I use that to avoid tiling xclock. I haven't needed overrides for LyX. You may want to describe the exact problem, and post a screenshot. Maybe a mac-specific fix is needed, or perhaps the problem can be reported to chunkwm developers and fixed by them. Helge Hafting

The TWM I'm using is chunkwm (https://koekeishiya.github.io/chunkwm/). I've used a TWM (Spectrwm) with LyX on OpenBSD for more than 3 years without any difficulties. Before that I was on Linux using various TWMs, also without problems with LyX. Regards, Anthony -- Anthony Campbellhttp://www.acampbell.uk
