I'm going to forward this to the devel list, as I think people there are more likely to know about this.

Hi all.

I've recently started using LyX, and I've downloaded the 2.0 alpha 6 version 
used with Mac OS X.  I have only one issue so far, and that concerns the use of 
Unicode, in particular polytonic Greek (entered using the Polytonic Greek 
keyboard layout supplied by Apple).

I'm relatively new to Unicode, so I apologize upfront if my terminology or 
understanding of how it works is a little off.

Whenever I input a Greek character with any kind of combining accent, the 
correct combination is entered, but LyX repeats the vowel, minus the accents.  
For example, trying to input circumflex-upsilon always results in 
circumflex-upsilon upsilon:

ῦ always turns into ῦυ.

The same thing happens for any letter combined with accent marks.  The problem 
does not happen in any of the other document editing programs on my Mac, so I'm 
assuming this is something within LyX itself.

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.

Daron
