This is a known bug indeed, but it is in the qt-library we use, so we
can't do much about this. In the most recent release of qt (4.5), this
bug is solved, but we did not include it yet in the distribution.

I don't really understand what you want to say here.

The 'official' LyX 1.6.2 installer is not yet available (which I
regret), so you probably have used the 'alternative' installer to
install LyX. This installer for instance installs a lyx.bat file which
is used to start LyX. That's why it looks like the behaviour has
changed.
