Another example of the disappearing cursor in LyX-1.1.5: In my ~/.lyx/bind/emacs.bind, I have \bind "C-x c" "word-capitalize" \bind "C-x l" "word-lowcase" \bind "C-x u" "word-upcase" Using any of these functions with LyX-1.1.5 does the requested action, but also causes the cursor to disappear. I don't think this was the behavior in previous versions of LyX. Regards, -- Ronald Florence http://members.home.net/18james
