Intermediate .tex file during 'Convert' differs from manual export,causes problems

[Alexander]

Hi Mike,

I am sorry if you misunderstood something. These files are only related
to my problem I described below and which got solved by Jürgens
suggestions.
I do not know anything about any problems you might have posted to the
public lyx-user list.

Sorry again,
Best,
Alexander
