LyX 2.4.0 RC4 - bug? Abstract headline is missing + bits and pieces

[Bernt Lie]

A difference - perhaps -- between a missing Abstract label and the Chapter label in *LyX* is that sections headings are quite big compared to the standard text, so it is easy to see the difference. While the abstract text font is only marginally smaller than the standard text font, so it is more difficult to see what it is.

*If* one sets "abstract=on" to enforce "Abstract" to be printed in the PDF file, it would perhaps be natural if this text also shows up in LyX.

Anyways, this is not a major problem -- I can always switch to the standard article style.

Thanks a lot for your great job with creating v. 2.4. I really appreciate all the work you have put into it, and look forward to start reading the manuals. Although I've used LyX for some 10 years or so, I think it will be useful to re-read the documentation to better familiarize myself with what is new.

So far,...
* I greatly appreciate that you have not changed the main parts of the user interface. I hate it when developers come out with a new version of a tool, and the user doesn't recognize where the menus are, etc.

* I have already used the improved system for finding missing citations and broken references.

* The search system looks improved.

* These are the main things I have had time to notice in some 3 days, while converting a large portion of my key documents from v. 2.3.x to v. 2.4

As a person who combines text with loads of math and computer code...
* The Program Listing settings ---
--> Do I set them individually every time I insert a program listing?
--> Or are they document settings, so that if I change one setting (e.g., font setting), then this takes precedence for the entire document?
--> The above question is related to how to keep consistency in listings...

Also, I'm using a couple of computer languages that are not supported by Program Listing...
* Modelica (for specifying mathematical models)
* Julia

Is there an ASCII file where it is possible to add specifications for more computer languages so that they show up in the Program Listing settings?

For some reason, scrclass.inc explicitly removes the heading:

Input stdstruct.inc

Style Abstract
     LabelType             No_Label
End

If we're agreed that's wrong, it's easy enough to fix.
