I recently posted a problem I had with search (suchen) in Version 1.2: I guess that in this version searching should now work also in cases such as \caption[short caption]{long caption}. However, this takes a lot of time (in my case at least 15 minutes, about 500 pages and 230 figures), because in searching each \caption[ ]{ } is shown separately after displaying an ERT grey box. It also does not seem to be successful in finding the item (a figure number I had inserted in the long caption). I can't stop the searching except by killing the lyx process.
On the terminal from which I started lyx& I get messages like Received unhandled X11 event Type: 0x1e Target: 0x3802d49 Does it mean something is missing in my SuSE8.0 Linux? This problem prevents me from using the searching facility. Note that this applies for forward and backward searching. A minor problem: When I go back to the old 1.6 version which I used to write the book and which did not have this problem, the lyx file is not accepted anymore. Would appreciate help, since I would like to use the new version. Wolfgang
