Bug Description

Binary package hint: lyx

When I scroll down (using arrows, but I don't know if it's the only case) lyx crashes and I find in the log:

Deco was not found. Programming error?
name: 'llbracket'

This and many other bugs seem to have been fixed in newer lyx version, which IMHO should be urgently uploaded to edgy if it's possible. The old version can really stop lyx users from use edgy, by making lyx unusable on this release. Also, the lyx import feature is disabled in edgy, while it is enabled by default in the current upstream version, why?

LyX crashed for me spontaneously (I think after a navigation key press as well), with:

Assertion triggered in Point CoordCache::get(const LyXText*, lyx::pit_type) by failing check "posit != it->second.end()" in file ../../src/coordcache.C:64

I'm using LyX 1.4.2 July 13 2006 on Edgy.

This happens very frequently to me. It is typically, or always, when I am returning to the LyX window from another application (actually, virtual desktop page) and the first key I press in LyX is some navigation key (arrow, pageup/down, etc).

I'm still on Edgy with Lyx 1.4.2.

Anyone else getting this?

Lyx 1.4.3 has been backported to edgy, you can find it in the backports archive and I strongly recommend you to use that version - it's much less bugged, I use it every day for my work. I don't think anyone is actively maintaining lyx in ubuntu, so this bugs will just be "naturally" fixed in feisty with adoption of the new version.

Still, there is an important problem in ubuntu and it is that lyx in ubuntu is compiled with assertions turned on, even if it is not a debug version but the "production" release. See bug #82365.
