Lyx 1.6.5 has introduced some functionality problems that have
caused me to go back to using 1.6.4 where they don't exist. These
are
1. Bug #5594, which causes the cursor to do weird things upon
exiting a math box under certain circumstances.
2. Something I reported in this mailing list in December, but
which seems to have fallen through the cracks:

I was trying to report this as a bug today, but the bug tracker seems
to be dead (or very slow).
I hope these items are considered serious enough to get fixed in 1.6.6.
Best regards,
