LyX Developers, While working with the poster-beamerposter template to create ... a poster ... I ran into:
1) an issue whereby marking a region within the frame as "Comment" didn't allow a PDF to render but marking it as "LyX Note" does allow the PDF to render. I would expect these to have similar levels of (dis)functionality. This seems like a bug and I would appreciate it if you could confirm. If/when confirmed, I'll submit it to the tracker. 2) a non-obvious functionality omission whereby LyX List / Labeling environments are not available in Beamer-based documents. Is there a technical reason why this is not available (and if not, is it appropriate to file an enhancement request to make it available)? I tend to prefer how this behaves to the similar "Description" environment. and while creating a MWE to demonstrate the first issue: 3) a special character insertion issue that seems unique to the poster-beamerposter template whereby a "right arrow" can be inserted but throws a warning upon render. Some more details on these are in the attached MWE (expected to render while throwing the right arrow warning). Changing either LyX Note within to a Comment is expected to prevent rendering. These observations are made with LyX 2.2.3 on OS X 10.11.6. Any thoughts you can provide are appreciated. Thank you, Joel
