Hello, new user here. I searched the archive to reasonable depth about this problem but couldn't find anything.
I just installed LyX under Gentoo 2004.2 . The installation went OK but as I started to try it out a problem occurs. After clicking on the "down arrow"-icon (which you do to select enviroments) twice it stops working, i.e. I don't get the menu to change environment. What I mean by twice is I click on the icon once so the menu shows up and then again to get rid of the menu. The problem seems to occur only then and not when I click once and then actually chose an item from the menu. If I click on various parts of the document after the error occurs, the current enviroment is shown there (e.g. Standard or Section) as it should and everything else works. The "down arrow" icon gets marked with a rectangle when I click on it but the menu just refuses to show up. The only solution I have found at this stage is to restart LyX. To avoid the problem from the beginning it seems I must select an item from the menu every time, i.e. I don't have the luxary of changing my mind. This is annoying. R List
