Right, because 12.6.2 is Monterey, and what we’re dealing with appears to be a Ventura bug. > The alternative proposed here makes not sense whatsoever to me, > especially on an M1.

How does it "make no sense whatever" to you to have a fast, fully-functional version of LyX that does not exhibit the bug in question? (Just to note, I’ve also had LyX 2.3.7 simply crash on me a couple of times under Ventura in random situations, so there are apparently further problems and, hence, reasons independent of this bug to run LyX in a VM.) > Universal binary in any case means that on the M1 the M1 binary runs and > on the Intel the Intel binary.

Are you saying that the bug doesn’t occur if you use a LyX Intel (i.e., non-universal) binary under Ventura via Rosetta? That is not the case, for either version 2.3.6.2 or 2.3.7. You can’t insert a graphic via the file browser in either one. -cm > On 21/01/2023 23:02, Christopher Menzel wrote: > [...] > >> This definitely appears to be a Ventura thing.
