Has anybody else experienced these keyboard shortcut issues with the
spellchecker sidebar on LyX 2.0???????

Especially any one NOT using the binary found in the PCLinuxOS repository?

If it matters: I'm a ‘multi-boot’, ‘multi-Linux Distro’ user. And
I use whichever version of LyX is available from the repository of
whichever Linux system I'm currently using. I may be a bit too dependent on
the various package management systems on my installed distros but most of
the time this saves me a lot of dependency headaches.

At the moment the only one of my installed Linux that normal system
upgrades resulted in LyX 2.0.0 (April 29 2011) is my PCLinuxOS
installation. Thus I have no other LyX 2.0 to use to see if the keyboard
shortcut issues I've encountered are inherent in LyX 2.0.0, or {I do hope}
perhaps they stem from some modifications made by the PCLinuxOS package
maintainers.

I asked about these issues earlier and got some suggestions, but nobody
said that their LyX 2.0 had the same problem. Since most people nowadays
are more comfortable with using the mouse as a primary control interface,
it is quite possible that more LyX 2.0 users have these keyboard shortcut
issues than are aware of it. (simply because they "click" on the buttons
rather than typing in the keyboard shortcuts.)

The shortcut issues I'm having are:

1) The Alt+D on the "Add" button conflicts with the "Document" pull down menu. 
To
   actually add the word to the word list I MUST click on the button with the 
mouse.

2) The Alt+I on the "Ignore" button conflicts with the "Insert" pull down menu.
   Again I MUST click...

3) The Alt+F on the "Find next" button conflicts with the "File" pull down menu.
   Again I MUST click...

3) There does not appear to be any way to use the keyboard to dismiss the
   sidebars so that the document text can use the entire window/screen width.
   To ditch the sidebar I MUST click on the little "x" marked button in the
   upper right hand corner.
   Note: I can disengage the sidebars focus with escape and edit the
   document using only the approximately 2/3's of the screen/window width.
   But I can't make the sidebar go away with the keyboard.
   And I note: that this is so regardless of whether or not I've selected
   the "Spellcheck Continuously" setting...

If anyone is experiencing symptoms like that with their copy of LyX...

Please tell me!
