Package: lyx
Version: 1.1.4-7
Severity: normal
This mail contains recipe to reproduce certain bugs in Lyx,
both in 1.1.4fix3 and 1.1.5pre3. Text in "" is lyx messages, <>
user input.
First, get all 3 files from: ftp://crds.chemie.unibas.ch/pub/lyxbug/
The only important part is (d0.tex):
\begin{document}
\maketitle
\include{d2}
\clearpage
\include{d3}
\end{document}
Start lyx, Import d0.tex
"reLyX, the LaTeX to LyX translator. Revision date 2000/03/29"
"Reading LaTeX command syntax
(d0.tex: Splitting Preamble
Creating LyX preamble
Reading layout file
Cleaning... Translating... Writing... )
(d2.tex: Cleaning... Translating... Writing... )
(d3.tex: Cleaning... Translating... Writing... )
Deleting temp files
Finished successfully!"
BUG1:
"Document is already open ~/dok/patrick/d1.lyx
Do you want to reload the document?"
<Yes>
"Changes in document ~/dok/patrick/d0.lyx Save document?"
USER STUPIDITY1:
<Yes>
BUG2:
Result: No document open.
Click in menu File: d0.lyx
"Do you want to reload?"
<Yes>
The opened document looks empty.
ALTERNATIVE (NEXT TRY, delete d?.lyx, restart LYX):
Import d0.tex
"reLyX, the LaTeX to LyX translator [....]"
BUG1:
"Document is already open ~/dok/patrick/d0.lyx
Do you want to reload the document?"
<Yes>
"Changes in document ~/dok/patrick/d0.lyx Save document?"
<No>
BUG2:
Result: No document open.
Choose menu File: d0.lyx
"Document is already open ~/dok/patrick/d0.lyx
Do you want to reload the document?"
<Yes>
This time it looks OK, contains two Include: d2 and Include: d3 boxes.
Doubleclick on Include: d2 box.
Include window opens with "use input" marked (BUG3 - should be probably "Use include").
BUG4:
"File name: d2" (should be d2.lyx)
click on <Load>
"Cannot open specified file ~/dok/patrick/d2. Create new document with this name?" <No>
BUG4: the name shown in the Include window should have .lyx extension. It looks like
reLyX bug.
Generated Lyx code is:
\begin_inset Include \include{d2}
it should be:
\begin_inset Include \include{d2.lyx}
I enter d2.lyx in "Include" window "File name:" and press <Load>
I see d2 contents (chapter 1 etc...)
I choose menu File: d0.lyx to return to prev. document.
"Document is already open ~/dok/patrick/d0.lyx
Do you want to reload the document?"
<Yes>
BUG5:
lyx: SIGSEGV signal caught
