I'm using LyX 1.3.0pre2 (Qt frontend version) on Redhat 8.0.
I was trying to enter in LyX 1.3.0pre2 the probability symbol (\Pr in
latex) together with a superscript "new" using "^" but the aim was to
force the superscript not to go directly on top of the probability
symbol but instead to be on the right and above like a normal
superscript. This doesn't seem to work in the expected manner. In LyX, I
entered
\{\Pr\}^new
and saved the file as test_old.lyx. Then I opened it again in
Lyx1.3.0pre2 and saved the file as test.lyx. Both files are enclosed
below. When I open test_old.lyx and save it as test.lyx, the \{ and \}
are removed and instead of getting "new" as a superscript, it shows up
directly on top of \Pr like a stackrel.
I'll stop using \Pr from now on since it is easier to just type "Pr" and
then change it to textrm.
