I guess we'd better hold 2.0.7 until this is fixed....

Hi,
Searched the bug tracker wiki. Couldn't find this one. It's major, at least to
me.
LyX Version: 2.1.0beta2
OS: Macintosh 10.6.8
Package came from the pre-compiled disc image on LyX website.
Symptom: Insert > Special Character > Symbols dialog box is completely devoid
of symbols. Every Category is blank. I've attached one screen cap as an example.
I cannot reproduce on Ubuntu 13.10. I agree that this is serious if
other mac users can reproduce. Is there any terminal output? If not,
maybe try starting LyX with -dbg info and see if there's any useful
messages.
There are no messages. LyX 2.0.7 is affected too on my system.
It looks like the problem is a run-time effect and QFontMetrics::maxWidth()
is the culprit. The attached patch helps. But I don't know if there is another
solution. This one I'd rate as a little hack. Any suggestions?
Stephan
