hi,
I just compiled LyX 1.1.6fix2 under Solaris (using gcc 2.95.2) on Sun
Sparc hardware. I used xforms 0.88. System ghostscript is 6.50.
I have seen *no* figure previews in this particular LyX incarnation,
even when I start LyX and then leave it alone for a while to do it's
thing. It seems that there is something on this platform that triggers
this bug *consistently*, rather than the intermittent behaviour which is
seen under Linux.
The figure previews just show the file name and the string
'[rendering...]'.
Note that I am able to get a preview in a window when I press the 'full
screen preview' button in the figure dialog.
I ran reconfigure, and it did find gs.
I realise that this is an old bug, and that it probably lies deep within
xforms. I just thought I'd add this observation to the common knowledge
- it may mean something to someone.
Ben.
