Dear LyX devels, In 1.6.3 I encounter paste problems that I did not notice in previous versions. Pasting from LyX to LyX (in the same document) will not preserve the (LyX) formatting. For example: - copying string "Hello" from section one on a newline standard env will yield "1 Hello" with no section env. Previously the pasted "Hello" was becoming 2nd section. - similar exercise on description env for string "asdf asdf asdf" will yield standard "MM asdf asdf asdf". - copying and pasting ERT "\foo{}" will work OK; copying and pasting ERT "\foo{}" plus one space in either direction will fail; similar behaviour for equations. This also affects formulae surrounded by text (as in phrases). The text will be pasted fine, but the formulae will be missing.
Unfortunately these small issues can become big slow downs. I went as far as copying the elements that I needed via a text editor. I just thought that this might be an issue with the clipboard manager (on Xfce) rather than LyX, but I am not sure. Please let me know your opinions. Thank you Liviu ### System ### li...@localhost ~ $ uname -a Linux localhost 2.6.22-gentoo-r5-0.5 #3 Sat Mar 14 12:22:37 CET 2009 i686 Intel(R) Pentium(R) M processor 1.60GHz GenuineIntel GNU/Linux li...@localhost ~ $ eix lyx [I] app-office/lyx Installed versions: 1.6.3(08:58:02 08/06/09)(X cups dia docbook dot html latex nls rtf -debug -linguas_ar -linguas_ca -linguas_cs -linguas_de -linguas_en -linguas_es -linguas_eu -linguas_fi -linguas_fr -linguas_gl -linguas_he -linguas_hu -linguas_id -linguas_it -linguas_ja -linguas_nb -linguas_nn -linguas_pl -linguas_pt -linguas_ro -linguas_ru -linguas_sk -linguas_tr -linguas_uk -linguas_zh_CN -linguas_zh_TW -monolithic-build -rcs -subversion) -- Do you know how to read? http://www.alienetworks.com/srtest.cfm Do you know how to write? http://garbl.home.comcast.net/~garbl/stylemanual/e.htm#e-mail
