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.
I believe it is Qt/Mac. Qt-4.4 seems to work fine; all versions since
exhibit this problem with some fonts.
How did you obtain LyX/Mac? ... Do you know which version of Qt it was
compiled with?
But
what I'd try to do is experiment with different screen fonts and, in
particular, different zoom settings.
That's the only workaround I've found.

I have seen this on Windows 7 also. Very annoying.
