The table alignment settings now give me messages like
"unknown tabular feature 'align-left'" if the cursor is in
some simple math. Perhaps this is more correct somehow, but it
doesn't solve the problem: I wanted to left-align a table column.
This would be a lot less of a problem if the cursor jumped to
where I left-click the table. If I left-click the math inside the
table, I get the math dialog, not the table dialog. Which is fine, and
misunderstanding is avoided. Left-clicking some other table
column gives me the table dialog, but the cursor doesn't jump to
the clicked cell.
I stays in the other column in the math, and the choices don't
apply there. It wouldn't help if it worked - I'd align the
wrong column!
Now to something completely different - is there a simple way
to make cvs update all files as they are in the lyx-devel repository,
i.e. obliterate every patch and change I've done locally without
actually downloading the entire source tree from scratch? It'd
be nice to get rid of all sorts of experimental patches that
block updates forcing manual deletion of files.
