I'm using 1.1.6, but I'm pretty sure the problem also occurred once when I
was using the early June 1.1.6cvs. Last time I thought it was a fluke, but
now it's happening again.
My main THESIS.lyx file includes a bunch of files. Each of those has figures
in it, and the figures have labels. I'm in one of the sub-files, and I
do an "Insert->Reference" and click on one of the figure refs from the list.
(I should mention that I love the way the forms are shaping up. Definitely a
usability win in LyX.) Instead of showing the name of the reference in the
"Ref" box, the entire popup closes (I never even had the chance to click on
OK.), and I'm teleported to the main file. This happens several times. I'm
able to insert a ref into the main file, but if I go back to a sub-file
(even a different sub-file) it doesn't work.
After a couple minutes the problem randomly goes away. Sorry that this is a
terrible bug report, but it's a very weird bug. I've used references a
million times, and I don't think I'm doing anything particularly weird when
the problem occurs, but maybe one of you will have an idea what's causing
this.
