This is a behavior I've not seen with previous versions of LyX but which 
appears more often than not with 1.6.5. 

When I insert a graphics figure (either pdf or jpg) and change the edges 
in the clipping tab of the settings dialog box, both the original and 
changed figure are displayed side-by-side. I need to delete the original one 
manually. After a couple of times like this, LyX gives up and just makes the 
changes in place. 

Now and then it surprises me and doesn't display both versions. 

It's a minor annoyance, but probably an unintended consequence of code 
changes; that is, a bug.

Rich, 


I noted this change in behavior several years back. I posted a message to the 
devel list but I think it was misunderstood. 


If you insert a graphic with the "apply" button and then change the cropping 
and hit "apply" again you will get a second graphic inserted with the crop. You 
need to hit OK and then click the image to get the graphics dialog box back 
(and associated with that image). Alternatively you can insert the original 
graphic, press "Apply" and then click on the image and then make your cropping 
changes. 


I, too, wish the previous behavior would be restored such that any changes you 
made in the graphics dialog would apply to the current image _until_ you 
clicked outside the graphics dialog. But apparently when you press Apply, Lyx 
loses the connection between the image and the dialog box. 


The response to my previous post on the devel list (I can't seem to find it in 
the archives) seemed to suggest that the previous behavior was impossible, so 
I'm guessing the problem was misunderstood. Since it is minor annoyance 
(although I do a lot of cropping!) I just let the issue drop. 


I'm glad someone else finally noticed it.
