Here is Carlo's response to me. It contains a few more bug reports. He also
sent me a tar.gz file to test the original bug. It's very large (0.5MB) , so
I've put it at
http://www.devel.lyx.org/~leeming/test-lyx.tar.gz

Ciao Angus,
many thanks for your help.
I use Lyx since at least 4 years and I am very satisfied. Until now I nver
found serious bug like these in 1.2 since probably 1.0.4 or lower.
For your convenience I attach here the document I am working now highlighting
the bugs.
The biggest bugs I have discovered are at least:
1) If you try edit the reference in the manuscript (e.g. change it), when you
close the reference winwods, the system crashes
2) there are not sequential numbers inside the floats
To complete my work I am saving the file as tex, then I edit with the
previous version.
With another file (not available now) I have found the same problem with the
referecens (chashes) and/or missing reference numbers in the main text. After
some times spent with the TeX source I have found that probably the problem
is that the new LyX, elinimated the blanck in the reference keys (but I am
cannot be completeyl sure because I make many tchanges before discovering and
solving the problem. Once the problem was solved at the TeX level, it
disappeared from LyX.
Please be carefull the these fiel was originally started using LyX 1.1.6
without any problem.
Finally, among many other suggestions, I would give you a suggestion, which
can be immediately introduced without any modificaiton (I suppose!).
About 15 years ago I programmd for some years transputer networks. OCCAM had
an embedded editor with a "fold" structure exactly as the float behaviour
(i.e. clickng of a specific key all the content inside two tags were folded
appearing only a lable (the content on the first row in the fold). This
mechanism is wonderful both for programming complex program and writing a
complex manuscript with many sections, chapters and so forth..
When you open a file you only view a list of row (equivalent to the table of
content). Once the file is opened you can "unfold" the single
fold(s)=sections/subsections you like, some special keys can open/close all
folds or intermediate functions. What do you think about this suggestion: I
would be very happy for this and I am sure that it will be apprecciated by
all LyX users.
I am waiting your comments and hopefully an immediate solution of the bug.
Best regards,
CArlo
