I'm seeing a couple of issues with LyX 1.5.1 on XUbuntu 7.10 (Gutsy) that I don't have a solution for... The package is from the Ubuntu repositories. The two issues are:
(1) It appears to be really slow when trying to scroll text on the screen. It's not horrible, but its not as fast as the 1.4.x series. (2) For some reason, I can go into a dialog once and only once per session. For example, the preferences dialog, or the document settings dialog. Basically, I can go in once, make changes, hit apply, make more changes, hit apply, etc. But, as soon as I either hit save or close, I can't go back into the dialog. Once I restart LyX I can repeat the process. The strange thing about #2 is that I would have thought it was a qt resource issue that would affect other parts of the system, but it doesn't appear to. I can open the Outline, Output, command line windows with issue. Detach, re-attach them, close, re-open, etc. I'm baffled, especially by #2. I tried starting LyX from a terminal, hoping to get some error output that might point me in the right direction. There wasn't any. I tried grabbing the .deb for 1.5.2 from the lyx.org site, but couldn't get it to install. GDebi told me that it wasn't a valid package. Any hints or clues? // George --- Faster moments spent spread tales of change within the sound...
