Thanks for the response!
I have this so perhaps something else?:

This may have worked!
But in a reconfigure request problem. <PastedImage.png>
Sorry, should know what to do next but it’s been a while. Multiple
reconfigures doesn’t fix the problem.
Perhaps you’re on macOS w/o python utility. What’s your OS
version?
LyX 2.3.6.2 expects a working python installation which was gone since
macOS 12.3.1. Newer versions of LyX will give a proper hint.
You may install python3 from here:

Thanks

Hi Scott,
I’m wondering if there’s something like a factory reset I can do
on the settings that is worth trying. Perhaps over the years I’ve
adjusted the look and feel to something that is causing problems.
Move your user directory somewhere else, so a new one is generated.
On mac that would be:
- terminate LyX if actually running
- use in Finder „Go to Folder“ with the term „Library“
starting at your home directory
- open Application Support
- rename the folder LyX-2.3 to e.g. LyX-2.3-2023-08-09

Or else launch LyX from the command line with something like:
lyx -userdir /tmp/newuserdir/
But I'd be surprised if anything there caused problems.

Thanks again Scott for your response and thoughtful help. I attach
the file. I updated LyX to 2.3.7. This has indeed only been a problem
in the past couple of years. I’ve sort of tolerated it because I
mostly collaborate now rather than writing myself — getting old and
rusty. For collaborations I use Overleaf though I still prefer LyX.
In 2001, KLyX changed my life, but because of the top search result!
Ewwww
Thanks, Tim. I can't reproduce with the file you sent so that at
least rules out that theory that I had.
Unfortunately I'm not sure how to proceed.
Scott
