You're right. More exactly it's within a library framework the LyX package contains - the Qt library, responsible for display I/O of LyX. It's a known problem. You may find a discussion of that here: http://www.lyx.org/trac/ticket/6706 > I have wondered if this has something to do with some kind of > automatic-replacement feature in LyX, but I don't know enough to figure it > out. > > Thanks in advance for any solutions or pointers in the right direction. The solution is to fix the problem in the Qt-libraries. I think it will be fixed with the next LyX package (hopefully beta1). Stephan
