Using the top menu bar, Insert->Math->Inline equation or
Insert->Math->Display equation equation. Subsequent keyboard input
does not cause math text to appear in the new math box but rather in
bizarre behaviour.
E.g. Insert->Math->Inline equation, typing `d' causes the math box to
toggle between display and inline mode, as if the `d' were prefaced by
M-m.
On the other hand, Insert->Math->Inline equation followed by `a'
executes `math-mutate-align'.
The behaviour persists until a mouse click somewhere in the document
restores focus and normal behaviour. Problem does not arise If the
math box is created by Apple-m.
Using LyX 1.3.6-2 for Mac OS X, binaries downloaded from ftp.lyx.org,
on both OS 10.3 and 10.4. The problem was not there with LyX 1.3.5 and
earlier.
