That's what I've been hearing from others as well. If a bug is indeed easy to fix, why doesn't the developer just do it? Well, perhaps because for a developer it's not worth the time. I see bugs all over the place in LyX but the large minority are super minor. It's not worth it to try to fix them all. But it might be worth it for others starting to get to know LyX's code because they would not only fix a bug but might learn a great deal. These are the bugs I have in mind. If a developer wants to fix them, that's fine with me. If they sit on trac and the easyfix is ignored, that's fine with me too. As long as I think there's a chance this will be useful to someone and as long as it doesn't seem to make anything more complicated for others, I will occasionally put some of these bugs up. Scott
