Hi, I have just almost gone crazy editing a table that was too large to fit on screen. (Yes I reduced the font/screen zoom to work around, thank you. No, I won't upgrade my monitor just yet, sorry.)
Together with many other quirks of table editing, especially in the dialog that seems to be broken in many respects, but also slow responsiveness to typing, these problems almost made me go back and write the table in plain latex directly. I think that is a serious warning sign! I love Lyx, especially because math and table editing is so much easier than with a (even good) text editor. IMHO, these are the strenghts that Lyx should expand, and not all is well in those areas. I am aware there is a shortage of developers, so priorities have to be carefully chosen. I am not questioning the usefulness of what is currently being done, but I do have the feeling that fixing some long-standing issues receives less attention than introducing new features. The latter is more fun, and so the situation is perfectly understandable, and it probably happens with every software project. But IMHO it is also the reason why the userbase of lyx is far from what it could be! This is intended as constructive criticism, please take it as such, not as any kind of attack. Thank you for your hard work. thanks, sven
