Hello,
As per your suggestion, I would like to create a ticket, but I cannot seem
to register with the LyX Trac system. The link
https://www.lyx.org/trac/register is invalid.
Could you please suggest a workaround?
Best regards,
- Oliver.

Hello,
This functionality does not exist yet, but indeed it would be doable (either
pasting, or transforming an expression in place).

There are no current plans for that, that I know of. Indeed, paying someone
to do it may help to materialize it sooner. I suggest that you create a
ticket on www.lyx.org/trac. I will forward it to the developers list to try
to find someone willing to implement it.

Subject: Can you reproduce this bug?
Message-ID: <20221204203859.civiqsyr3zukbu3f at gary>
Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii"
Dear all,
Can you reproduce this bug on your system?
https://www.lyx.org/trac/ticket/12435
It's helpful to know the type of systems on which it can be reproduced.
Specifically, it will be helpful to figure out whether the bug only surfaces
on certain operating systems, and only with certain configurations.
Here is the recipe to reproduce the bug:
1. Maximize (non-fullscreen) the window
2. Enter Full screen mode
3. Exit Full screen.
After step 3, does the LyX window return to the state after step (1)?
i.e., is the window maximized?
If you try to reproduce it, please state:
1. Can you reproduce the bug?
2. Your operating system and version number (version number is
especially helpful for macOS users).
3. Copy/paste the info from Help > About.
Here's my own responses to the 3 questions:
1. No. (the window is correctly restored as maximized after 3 for me).
2. Ubuntu 22.04.
3. Pasted info is below:
Version 2.4.0dev
(Sunday, December 4, 2022)
Built from git commit hash abd69b06
Qt Version (run-time): 5.15.3 on platform xcb
Qt Version (compile-time): 5.15.3
Python detected: python3 -tt
Thanks!
Scott

Content-Type: text/plain; charset="utf-8"
Hi
Help! I'm having trouble with an important older LyX file not opening in
LyX.
I'm a long time LyX user here. I am having trouble with an old file from
2014 that was created by LyX 2.1. I'm on a 2017 intel mac running OS 13.0.1
(Ventura).
When I try to open it in 2.3.6.2 I get filename.lyx is from an older
version of LyX and the lyx2lyx script failed to convert it.
#LyX 2.1 created this file. For more info see http://www.lyx.org/ \lyxformat
474 \begin_document \begin_header \textclass article
I tried downloading earlier versions of Lyx to no avail. I completely failed
with 2.1.5. Here when I run LyX I am asked to reconfigure. I do, but I'm
not sure it works.
The error messages I get are different:
The module basic has been requested by
this document but has not been found in the list of
available modules. If you recently installed it, you
probably need to reconfigure LyX.
Hit OK then...
The module theorems-ams has been requested by
this document but has not been found in the list of
available modules. If you recently installed it, you
probably need to reconfigure LyX.
The module natbib has been requested by
this document but has not been found in the list of
available modules. If you recently installed it, you
probably need to reconfigure LyX.
And it finally opens the file with a Parse error box complaining "Layout
`Proposition' was not found."
At this point I have the file fully open, but it will not compile. Nor do I
know what to do with it to take it to a newer version. I get no Export
options and I tried copy pasting into the newer LyX and that did not work (I
get again "[filname] is from an older version of LyX and the lyx2lyx script
failed to convert it.")
Any help would be much appreciated! Thanks.
-Ivan

1. Somewhat. When I go "full screen" from half-width, I restore correctly.
When I go "full screen" from full width, it returns to something like half
width (not the previous full width). This is observed with BetterTouchTool
running. If I quit it, then both approaches appear to restore correctly.
2. macOS 12.5
3. Version 2.4.0-alpha3
(February 14, 2021)
Qt Version (run-time): 5.12.9
Qt Version (compile-time): 5.12.9
Python detected: python3 -tt
Hope this helps,
Joel
