Sorry for top-posting. If the toolbar is shown the environment choice
box
should be part of it and it should probably appear on top of the
vertical
toolbar. You can move the toolbar by dragging it using your mouse. It
will
change its shape according to the place where you insert it.

Thanks, Rich and Axel, but I tried this already. A left mouse click in
the vertical environment choice box  gives me a red point with 4
blades, but the only action is moving the whole Lyx display.

At least here, there are two lines just above a vertical toolbar. If I
put my mouse cursor over those lines, it turns into the four pointy
thing. Then I can click and move it. Clicking on empty space in the
toolbar does not work.

I include a snapshot with the mouse cursor position above the 2 lines
which you refer to, I guess. But I can't move the toolbar. I am using
Lyx 2.3.3dev and QT4.8.7, by the way

Not sure why it won't work, then.

I take it you are on Linux? If so, then look at the folder
~/.config/LyX/. This is (at least here) where these kinds of settings
are stored. I have two files there: lyx.conf and lyx2.4.conf. The former
is the one for 'released' LyX. If you open that file (or can find
lyx.conf in some other location), then you will see a bunch of stuff like:

[views]
0\citation\autofind=true
0\citation\casesensitive=false

Find the line beginning 0\layout. Delete that line. That should restore
the defaults. Alternatively, have a look at the 0\standard lines. It is
possible that 'movability' has somehow been disabled.

Riki


I finally managed to pull the left sided environment choice box to the 
horizontal position. Why it did not work before? Perhaps due to my age 
the hand and/or eyes were not precise enough. Would be nice if this 
shifting would be a bit less tricky.


Thanks for all the help and excuse the noice,

Wolfgang

 You're welcome to work on this if you like, of course. LyX used to have
 various frontends, so there's still enough separation that this kind of
 thing would be possible.

 That said, collaboration doesn't exactly require a web-based version, and

You're welcome to work on this if you like, of course. LyX used to have 
various frontends, so there's still enough separation that this kind of

That said, collaboration doesn't exactly require a web-based version,

collaboration in other ways. So you might want to check into that.

Re: Environment Button Changes Shape

  This is a minor point, but annoying nonetheless.

  When I invoke LyX, the environment choice button at the left of the icon

The environment control is expanding to accommodate the widest entry in 
the list, which with beamer appears to be ColumnsCenterAligned.  If you 
never use columns, I suppose you could edit ColumnsCenterAligned and 
ColumnsTopAligned out of the layout file, and then the environment 
control would not expand as far.


I take it using a wider window is out of the question?

Re: Environment menu problem

Thanks Gunter,

I have lyx 1.3.4 running on ubuntu hoary.
Anyway, I'm less concerned about this problem now, since some drew my
attention offlist to the Alt-p 0123 etc. option.  That's much quicker
than using the menu anyway.   So I'm not so worried about the menu at
the moment.

Now, I'm trying to figure out how to use pybliographer.  I have the
lyxpipe thing sorted out, so I'm halfway there!

Hello Declan,

Could this be the problem reported here?

Maybe this is a problem with a specific qt version or even a specific theme (I

Yes, that's the reason.  I'm also doing some conversion from straight latex 
documents so that I can update them in Lyx, so I'm not doing a lot of content 
work.

Thanks for your help!

Raphael a way to get the Introduction and Conclusion indexed in the
Raphael toc, not considered as Chapter 1 and N ??

A solution: switch the textclass to 'book' and add the following
commands marked as 'TeX':

\frontmatterat the beginning of the document
\mainmatter after the introduction
\backmatter before the conclusion

Then you can use normal chapters for intro and conclusion.
