Hi guys,

 Thanks to everybody who contributed to LyX! In particular, the ongoing
efforts to crank out -fix versions of LyX 1.1.6 are well appreciated.
However, in browsing the changes lists I cannot help to feel that many
bugs that got fixed are highly special, while a number of the most
annoying things never got dealt with. Here is my personal bug list of
LyX 1.1.6fix3-1:

(1)  Removing equation lines is "broken" as the manual points out (keys
M-e k). Will this get fixed? I currently edit the .lyx file (!) to get
rid of equation lines. Very annoying.

(2)  If I assign a label to an equation and then change my mind and
don't want the equation number to appear anymore (and remove the label),
the label would still sit in the lyx file. When I export it to latex,
latex complains about duplicate labels. This happens often when I decide
to break an equation line and want the equation number on the last line.
It would be great if Lyx could do this automatically!

(3)  BibTeX: When will LyX be able to tell that there are errors in
BibTeX's result? In particular, am I supposed to check every reference
in my document if a "[?]" appeared, instead of the citation number?
Highly unsatisfactory.

(4)  How can I force a rerun of BibTeX? In particular, if I remove a
citation, it won't be removed from the references list until I restart
LyX. Guys, this is a serious bug.

(5)  The citation insert dialog window is broken somehow: If you leave
the window open (i.e. just use "Apply" rather than "OK") and edit
different citation, sometimes the "Apply" and "OK" buttons become gray
even when there are valid citations in the left field. One then either
has to reopen the dialog or remove a citation from the left window and
then reenter it.

(6)  I just installed Lyx1.1.6fix3-1 (the binary rpm) on my RedHat 7.2
box and now the rendering of eps figures in LyX is broken: It still says
"rendering", but nothing appears. The same file works correctly under
older RedHat versions.

Thanks.
Ron
