When I use the ERT \chaptermark{<my shorter title>} in order to have a shorter chapter title in the header, there is a "delayed reaction". It works well for all pages, but not for the first page, the one with the actual chapter title. Instead, I get the full title inelegantly cut in the header. Any ideas how to get the chapter title page to work too?

The problem was mentioned almost 3 years ago (see below) but I couldn't find any answers.

Many thanks,
Catherine

Hello LyX-List,

In a document I use "fancy" pagestyle and I want the chapters and
sectiontitles to be printed in short form in the header, so some of the
older E-mails tell that the command needed is:

\sectionmark{abc}

and it works for all the pages where no new section is started. But on
this page the short chapter-title but the long (original) section-title
is displayed in the header; so another E-mail tells that the pagestyle
ist set to plain at the beginning of new chapters - is it the same with
beginnings of new sections, and: is this the problem? - can I change
this?
