This is exactly what I just posted to lyx-users, but in the intended list this time. :p
Using 1.4.0svn of a couple of days ago, whenever I try to insert anything that is on the first level of the Insert menu (i.e. 'Insert > Footnote' as opposed to 'Insert > Note > ...') using the keyboard, focus is not returned to the text window after the item is inserted. For example, were I to use 'M-i f' to insert a footnote and then typed 'f', the File menu would be opened. In addition to this, and possibly a separate issue, if I then press the Meta key (Alt) again, to return the cursor to the text area (as happens even under normal LyX conditions) the menus are no longer selected but neither is the text area usable. Pressing keys on the keyboard does nothing. Dan
