Hello.
I am using Lyx 1.6.5 (the actual last version) on Windows XP SP3.
The problem is that the Math Toolbar and Math Panels Toolbar doesn't auto
unhide when I am editing a formula.
The same is happening when I am editing tables: the Table Toolbar does not
auto unhide.
I know I can hide/unhide them selecting the proper option on View >
Toolbars, but I prefer to only see these toolbars when needed.
The weird part is that this is happening only on the computer where I did a
new install of Lyx (with no versions installed before).
The same issue didn't happened on other computers, where there was old
versions of Lyx installed and I just over installed the new version.
How can I restore the default option to auto hide/unhide these toolbars?
The behavior of View > Toolbars ... seems to have changed. It used to
be that you could cycle any toolbar between on (always), off and auto.
Now it seems that you can only force it on or back to its prior state
(either off or auto).
If you go to Tools > Preferences > Look & Feel > User interface and look
at "User interface file:", you will see which UI file you're using (and,
by browsing, where it lives. You can edit it to add the auto-on
feature. In the Toolbars section, you want something like
"math_panels" "auto,math,bottom"
"math" "auto,math,bottom"
to make the two math toolbars automatic (you can change 'bottom' to
whichever side you want for them). You might want to put the edited UI
file in the ui directory of your local LyX files (usually C:\Documents
and Settings\you\Application Data\lyx16\ui), and then point LyX at it,
so that it survives future upgrades. If you did this on the other
machines, that could explain why the auto feature was on there --
although "out of the box" LyX 1.6.5 installed here with the math
toolbars in auto mode, and no customized UI file.
