That (and Kornels example) rings a bell: You must put the "document" flag into the format line of the preferences file. Otherwise the format will not be shown in the view menu. This is changed from 1.4 (1.4 does not have a "document" flag). Note to packagers: You should add that flag to all formats in lyxrc.dist that should appear in the view menu. I believe that this is no bug, but the changed file format of the preferences file. We should probably write about that in the release notes. Georg
