I cannot get multiple spaces with copy-paste within LyX. For pasting text from the clipboard this might indeed be a problem. OTOH, there are more related problems with pasting: - I can create a document with multiple "start appendices" (bug 5196), - I can copy tabs and multiple spaces from a free-spacing env. - I can copy several types of Insets into a Listing, while this ain't possible with the Insert Menu... In sum, I think it is rather strange to make an exception for leading space. Moreover, a better, more complete solution is required anyway. > > Before I put this in, I want to hear the opinion of others. Me too. > > regards Uwe Vincent
