Hi, Today (Feb. 5th) I've updated my CVS, which came with a revised version of the Graphics dialog; however, not yet an Apply button. The Help button only gets activated after making a modification, whereas the Restore button is always activated. Has the 'activation-policy' accidentally been ex

I think now we see the dialog in action without an Apply button, I agree with Rob. It'll be more user friendly in 1.2 to have the button to play with the canvas. After 1.2 is out, we'll have an Apply button that invokes lyxfunc code in a similar manner to the other dialogs. We'll probably need
