In the LaTeX Errors dialog, what doe the "..." mean in "View Complete

another menu will follow? In some of the menu entries with following
dialogs I see "..." but in others I do not. For example, why is "Help
About LyX" not "Help > About LyX..." ?
In general, ... means that a dialog will open if you choose that option (not
only in LyX, this is in several GUI guidelines). Therefore, it should be
pretty easy to find out whether a ... is missing for a menu entry, or
whether an existing ... is wrong.
Normally, ... in a menu indicates that an extra action will be necessary
to accomplish what you want. Is the only goal of the menu entry is to
show a dialog (without any yes/no choice or control), then the ... is
not necessary.
In a dialog, ... indicates that a new window will open, without
specifying whether one will have to do some action on it.
