Horizontal scrolling (though without scrollbars) has been implemented in
forthcoming LyX 2.2. It should mitigate your problems significantly.


 I also looked at Local Layouts, but could not figure out how to manually
 set the size of the columns in the user interface.


This is not possible. All you could do is to adjust the general zooming in
preferences, but this is probably too general.



 Actually, what I would like to do is to set the column width on the user
 interface on the one hand, and to keep on setting it for Latex through the
 standard dialog box on the other, so that even though the display in the UI
 is not exactly what it will be in the output doc (which is in fact already
 the case as of today), the document is easily edited in the UI and
 correctly generated. Do you think this is feasible easily with the current
 Lyx version (I'm using 2.1.2 on Debian)?


I think, unfortunately, it is not possible.

Table ok on output but too large in UI

2015-04-22 Thread Gilles Moyse
Hello.

I am a frequent Lyx user and first of all would like to thank the team for
this wonderful software!

It usually deals with tables very well, but I noticed that setting column
width may yield a correct PDF output but an incorrect display on screen in
the User Interface. More precisely, selecting a cell in the last column of
my table hides the first one and part of the second, making it difficult to
figure out my location in the table.
