Hi,
I've been using LyX on Linux for a long time (wrote several papers and my
thesis with it), but this is the first time I've tried to use it on a Mac. I'm
running OS X 10.6.4, and installed LyX 1.6.7 via MacPorts (I'm regretting not
just using the binary, but that's another thread). I have a slightly annoying
problem in that the text cursor seems to be off by one character on occasion.
I can't get a screenshot with the cursor in it, so I'll try to describe it in
more detail.
I have a line that contains the following text: 'word1, word2'. If I press
the back arrow 6 times, the cursor should be right after the comma.. But it
appears to be halfway between the comma and the 'w'. We all know you can't
have two spaces in a row in LyX, and there aren't: when I hit the mac's delete
key (i.e., backwards delete), the comma goes away. If I reinsert the comma,
then press the back arrow one time, the cursor is just to the right of the
comma, but backwards-deleting gets rid of the '1'.
I've also seen this problem. It may be a Qt/Mac issue. I don't know. But
what I'd try to do is experiment with different screen fonts and, in
particular, different zoom settings.
