Well, first of all I wasn't able to open the file, because its lyxformat
version is 255, and I'm currently using lyxformat version 256. This is
due to Georg's patch (in this thread, from Dec. 22 at 14:59) which
solves the problem of the hardcoded list of encodings. I don't know if
that patch makes a difference in terms of the result, but you should try
to apply it and see if that helps. Anyhow, in order to test the file I
just changed the 255 to 256 in the file, and then it opened correctly,
and the Hebrew was fine (see attached screenshot). So as a first stage I
would definitely try applying Georg's patch, and see if that helps.
Also, is it possible that you have any of your own code in the tree ---
perhaps from trying to fix this yourself at some point -- which may be
affecting the outcome? Maybe even a Qt flag somewhere which is RTL/LTR?
BTW, I'm using debian unstable.

Hi,
1) I'm using Gentoo Linux
2) yes, I do svn update every time I begin testing lyx. I also did svn
update couple of minutes before creating the example file.
3) tried that, didn't effect anything. I'm starting lyx with the -userdir
flag set to ~/.lyx-1.5 so it won't mess with the older lyx installation.
I have attached a small LyX file the shows the bug that I'm talking about.
By the way, I noticed when creating the example that the punctuation marks
are in the right place. So the ony problem is with the letters themselves.
Thanks for your help,
Guy

Hi!
This is strange, because I don't see the problems you're describing (in
bug #3040).
1) What OS are you working in? (I'm in Linux)
2) Have you recompiled the latest version from svn?
3) You might want to try removing the .lyx directory (or whatever the
equivalent on Windows is) --- I've found in the past that sometimes the
old configuration made all kinds of weird things happened which turned
out to work just fine when I started with a clean configuration.
Perhaps if none of this helps, you could either send to the list or else
attach to the bug report a small LyX file with some Hebrew, and I'll try
opening it at my end and see if it looks okay here?
Good luck!
Dov
