On my Mac LyX is using 100% CPU for about 35 seconds to fill the symbols grid with and without the patch. Perhaps it’s a little bit faster with the patch.

I’m able to build with 4.8.6, 5.4.2, 5.5.1 and 5.6.0(-rc). > It would be nice to build using a few different Qt versions so that we > can see if a few bugs are due to regressions in LyX or regressions in > Qt.

To be honest I don’t know the answer for this. Stephan
