Sending a second time, since evidently the version with attachments did not go through.

Focusing on the first of the two problems I wrote about: 1. Open LyX:Preferences (with no file open) 2. Change any setting, for example, Screen Font (but it can be any change on any submenu) 3. Click "Apply" 4. Click "Save" 5. all is well - the preference is saved and works but: 1. Open a Lyx file in the editor window. 2. Change any setting, for example, Screen Font (but it can be anything, on any submenu 3. Click "Apply" 4. A white box appears and the program freezes. 5. Also: if you click on the editor window while the program is in its frozen state, that window turns black. I don't know if this message board will accept attachments, but I'll send screen shots, in case they get through. <Screen Shot 2017-05-29 at 10.41.20 AM.png> <Screen Shot 2017-05-29 at 10.42.14 AM.png> On May 29, 2017, at 10:29 AM, Joel Kulesza <jkule...@gmail.com<mailto:jkule...@gmail.com>> wrote: On Mon, May 29, 2017 at 7:26 AM, David Pesetsky <pese...@mit.edu<mailto:pese...@mit.edu>> wrote: I have been trying out Lyx on the Mac over the past week, and have a repeated problem setting preferences. If I try to apply or save any preference from the Lyx menu while there is a document open, a blank white box appears (as if the system is trying to show me a message of some sort, except there is no message) and the program freezes. This is repeatable on both my laptop and iMac running MacOS 10.12.5, and the only way out is to force-quit the program. I eventually learned that setting preferences only works if there is no open document. Additionally, if I try to change a key binding that is already assigned to another function, the program notifies me, and asks me if I want to reassign the key — but if I say yes, I am dumped out of preferences and nothing is saved. These look like bugs, but any information or assistance (am I doing something wrong somewhere?) would be helpful. -David David: Which version of LyX (LyX Menu -> About LyX)? Installed from .dmg or compiled yourself? If you give a step-by-step examples to reproduce what you're experiencing, I'll try to reproduce and will report back. - Joel -- David Pesetsky [pese...@mit.edu<mailto:pese...@mit.edu>] Head, Department of Linguistics and Philosophy 32-D818 Massachusetts Institute of Technology 77 Massachusetts Avenue Cambridge, MA 02139 USA (617) 253-0957 office (617) 253-5017 fax http://web.mit.edu/linguistics/www/pesetsky.home.html
