This problem was also reported here [1] and here [2]. [1] http://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/168818/how-to-enbale-synctex-in-lyx/169008#169008 [2] http://latex-community.org/forum/viewtopic.php?f=19&t=23844&p=83669#p83669 Is this a MikTeX bug or should LyX pass -synctex=1 when there is MikTeX and sync is enabled?
