When a branch is inactivated in alpha2 (on Windows), the Outline
display shows duplicated expand/contract boxes, as in the attached
png. Activate the branch and the duplication vanishes. I read in the
New features in 2.2 that " entries that are disabled (i.e. either in
a note or in an inactive branch) are now marked with the symbol ❎".
Presumably the empty boxes should display this symbol.  Does this
point to a missing font package in my latex distribution?


Dear Andrew,


Thank you for the report. I am interested in your configuration and
feedback because it's very had for me to test in Windows (especially old
versions).

First, this is indeed the symbol ❎ not displaying correctly but this has
nothing to do with a missing font package in your latex distribution.

Here are a couple of questions:

* What version of Windows is this?

* Does the "New Features in 2.2" webpage successfully displays this
symbol on the same operating system?

* Would you say that the user interface font in LyX is consistent with
other applications in Windows?

* Have you ever noticed other symbols displaying incorrectly? For
instance, does the outliner correctly displays the symbols ✀ and ✍ for
tracked changes? (Please test this by enabling change tracking, doing
some additions and removals, and opening the outliner of tracked
changes, if you can.)

* Would you say that the symbol ❎ conveys the appropriate meaning for
"marking entries that are disabled (i.e. either in a note or in an
inactive branch)"? (assuming that it displays correctly on your screen.)
What about a different symbol such as ✖ ? Is it very confusing to have
an empty square instead of a more intuitive symbol?

I will discuss the possible solutions on the list once I know more about
your situation.


Sincerely,
Guillaume
