I'm just starting to use Lyx and am running into a problem with the spellchecker (aspell). I've tried to get it to work with versions 1.4.1, 1.4.5.1, and 1.5.2, all full-bundled installs. All give the same problem. This is for a windows XP machine.
When the initial file (splash.lyx) pops up, I can click on Tools-> Spellchecker and the spellcheck seems to run fine. It finds a misspelling (DVI) right off. If I create a new document, then try to run spellchecker, the spellcheck page pops up for a second, then disappears. If I try to run spellchecker again, no window pops up. I've even tried copying the splash.lyx text to a new document and trying to get spellchecker to work, but the spellchecker gives the same problem. It seems only to occur with new documents, since I can still run spellchecker on splash.lyx. Is this a bug, or am I doing something wrong? Thank you, Aaron
