Try to put explicitly some displaystyle{} in a math formula ("explicitly" means : without using the math-size feature in the mini-buffer). Look at the dvi file : it looks good. Now : save, exit LyX, fire it again ... no more displaystyle{} !!! Defining in the preamble something like this : \def\DS{#1}{\displaystyle{#1}} allows to get round. Is it really a bug ? Or do I miss something ? Rene ADAD.
