I am this bad boy, I guess.

But I am not guilty for that : Earlier, the alignment menu in tabular
proposed Left, Center and Right only, the default being left. As I
promised to implemented "fixed width alignment" with minimal changes, I
kept this setting ... (Ok, the real reason was that I didn't want to take
any risk in the necessary modifications of the xforms part of the code,
while I didn't noticed that the default (left) was in fact justified and
not left aligned ;-)

Yes it is. And the tabular layout was fantastic though, really.

I don't understand, what bug (shame on me:-) ? I would say this implement
an obviously missing feature, but may be am I missing some point.

What is still pending is the wysiwym display of these features. I proposed
to add a flag "formatDisplayOnly" to the text inset/paragraph, in order to
use the actual display mechanism (the one which is involved when you set
the alignment via the paragraph setting) without modifying the LaTeX
output,  but this approach requires a better knowledge than mine of the
internal structure of LyX code if one doesn't want to break the
encapsulation too much.

Anyway, I really need these features, so if you think that wysiwym is
mandatory, please feel free to ask me for some help and I will do my best.


Thank's again and again and again.
