I found that this is due to having defined "LyXServer pipe" in Tools>Preferences>Paths. Specifying there the path for the fifo results in instant preview not working. Removing it, instant preview works again. The puzzling part is that it seems to always work on a computer regardless of "LyXServer pipe", while it works on another one only if the "LyXServer pipe" field is left empty. Instead, with cygwin 3.0.7 it seems to always work. -- Enrico -- Problem reports: https://cygwin.com/problems.html FAQ: https://cygwin.com/faq/ Documentation: https://cygwin.com/docs.html Unsubscribe info: https://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple
