2.4.0-beta-2 possible regression: Float inset stops instant preview functionality in Fedora 37 X86_64

[Eric Barkan]

Success!  I tried installing texlive-cprotect per @nealbecker and the 
problem was fixed.  Thanks to you both.

Just in case it's still of interest I ran lyx-devel -dbg graphics in the 
repaired system.  All earlier error messages are gone.  the only mesages 
now are similar to:

graphics/PreviewLoader.cpp (753): PreviewLoader::finishedInProgress(0): 
processing succeeded for pyth
on3 -tt $$s/scripts/lyxpreview2bitmap.py --png 
"/tmp/lyx_tmpdir.CxxjlOzXElUM/lyx_tmpbuf4/lyxpreviewvmIpAu.tex" --dpi 
200 --fg 000000 --bg faf
0e6 --bibtex="bibtex"


Jose -- let me know if I can help with further testing on F37.

Thanks again Jose and Neal for your help.
