Hi Hanshini,
(probably my mails don't make it to the list directly as I'm writing from a
different account)
I think the width of elements in the output is a general issue that most
users are aware of. Having visual feedback in LyX would be a nice
enhancement of course. Still, I would not create too many bug reports for
feature requests and enhancements, unless it is clear that we can go ahead
and implement them.
It's a matter of taste. IMHO it's a very good idea to keep in mind for your
proposal. As for the bug tracker, I tend to use bug reports only for things
that are real bugs (or features that seem so broken that it feels like one).

Hi Hanshini,
You actually identified another problem. The original proposal targets the
LyX user interface, where a table or formula may be too wide.
This is an issue with the resulting text (typeset by LaTeX). I think it is
possible in principle to parse the LaTeX log and map the result back to the
LyX source code; some form of visual feedback could provide the user
information on items that are too wide in the final output. I think this is
a worthy secondary goal for this project.
Thank you for your response.
I like to contribute it if I could. So if the mentors allow, I will keep
that in mind as a secondary goal and try to work on it if I get time.
Is this bug already reported as a ticket? If so, could you please show me
the ticket? If not, can I report it by myself or shall I ask to do so from
someone else?
I am really enthusiastic to contribute in developing a product like LyX
where wide range of the public can get the use of it as it is open source.
Thank you
Hashini Senaratne
