Thanks for the suggestion, its number 3. If I open the file in Lyx again, after it was shut down, the settings are overwritten (although when opening the file in a text editor, there has been no change made). I can't think of a way to further narrow down the problem at the moment. And unfortunately, I can't spend much time on the problem (deadlines on Thursday). But I keep you guys posted, in case this is even of interest to other people. thanks, Günther
