Sure, but this visual info need not be the width of the area into which you're typing the text. It could be a horizontal arrow with the actual width as text. Eg: <-- Width 1 in --> ----------------- |Box (Minipage) | ------------------------------------------------------------------ | minipage contents span the entire width of the LyX screen, | | making it easy to type. The visual feedback about minipage | | dimensions is separated from the content. | |----------------------------------------------------------------| That'd be analogous to the visual feedback we give our users when they specify a vertical separation. -- Angus
