When using the precompiled version of LyX 1.5.1 that is available in the repositories for Ubuntu 7.10 I am suddenly not able to specify multicolumns in tables using the gui like I used to be able to do in LyX 1.4.x. What happens is that when I try select the columns to mark as multicolumn it just unselects them. Is there some way to fix this so I can specify multicolumns again in tables?
I tried using the precompiled version of 1.5.2 for Ubuntu but that gave me the same problem.
