menu fails on qt-front 1.3.2

I'm experiencing consistent failures and core dumps using the keyboard to access sub-menu items in LyX 1.3.2 using the qt front-end. For example: alt-I (Insert) brings up the first menu, but then alt-S (Special Character) fails to bring up the submenu. Nothing happens. In

Interesting. Running under GDB, the error not only crashes LyX, it causes the KDE window manager to lock up, and it doesn't seem recoverable. That means I can't run, cut and paste "bt" easily. However, the following line appears under gdb at the time of the crash: Program received signa

In a LyX document, you cannot insert the raw latex command \setcounter{enumi}{3} (for example) into any position where it will change the label of the first enumerated point in a list. If you insert it before the first point, which is outside the list environment, it has no effect.

A change in math mode has rendered unusable a large number of my documents from the 1.0.4 days. The difficulty lies with the uses of {cases} in math mode. I'm attaching a mocked up sample that works great in 1.0.4 and is horribly broken in 1.1.5. Thank you. -lsm #This file was created by Tu

When my computer is even slightly overtasked, and particularly when I'm making changes to the middle of existing lines, LyX seems to *lose* any character that the computer is not capable of writing immediately after I type it because of system constraints. I'm using 1.1.5cvs.
