Hi, it seems that I am a rare exception using André Miede's

I came across some issues that I would like to discuss with others.
Anybody out there and interested?
Hi Michael,
Let's discuss it, what's been bothering you? BTW, you know there's a
bug-fix version of the v4.1 template in the 4.2 bundle?
Hi Philip,
I am really glad for offering help!
Very briefly, this is what 'bothers' and confuses me:
In support of my son who is studying linguistics I am working on a
number of papers riddled with all sorts of linguistic specialties.
All the papers before were written using document class in KOMA-Script
article and went just fine.
Then I started preparing my son's master thesis using Miede's very
brilliant classicthesis-LyX-v4.1. I used some text parts of previous
Koma-Script papers by copy and paste. That went fine until I was
rewarded with latex errors - not only that, I lost that child document
involved and when further experimenting I even lost my master document.
Eventually I was able to identify the reason behind this first issue (I
reported all this to the list):
First issue
Underlining text with 'underbar' in the master document (e.g. _Siti)_
enters an endless loop when trying to compile to PDF with the fatal
effects described above.
Funny enough it compiled (sometimes?) before in a child document but did
not when included in the master.
And: I can stop the destruction of files only if I cut the power off
immediately after the loop started!
Second issue
Using Jürgen's nice and useful new modules like csquotes
(context-sensitive quotes) fail to work in classicthesis-LyX-v4.1, i. e.
are not available in full in the Insert > Custom Insets menu and produce
quite a number of errors
At this point I want to thank Jürgen Spitzmüller who so very generously
and repeatedly supported my efforts (I know close to nothing about Latex).
But he flatly denies that his module(s) do not work there - stating that
he himself used them just as I was trying.
Now there is hope these problems may have been already resolved in the a
bug-fix version of the v4.1 template in the 4.2 bundle which you told
me. I will download the 4.2 version and then see to it.
So far I had no reason to use version 4.2 as none of the distributions
I am using (openSUSE v13.2; openSuse Leap 14.1, Mageia5) supports the
scr-packages needed for it.
I run: LyX 2.1.3; KDE (everything up to date)
and most of my documents are multilingual: German, English USA, Greek
and lots of special symbols and characters.
Thanks again for your attention and best regards,
Michael Berger
