It's very likely to be an issue with Wayland, possibly related to my distro.

I'm on Devuan 5 and just logged out from Wayland (KDE) into Xorg
(Xfce) and found that (de)activating two of the three panes was not
possible anymore. See the screenshots attached.

Both screenshots were taken from inside Xfce. Creating the difference
i.e. un/ticked was done by logging back into KDE.

After I deleted .lyx in Xfce everything went back to normal and
attaching panes worked as it was intended. I have used LyX for 20+
years plus and have never ever had any issues with the panes until I
moved to Wayland.

So the current workaround, seems to be not to detach panes.

I'm also copying the console output onWayland below (again, sorry I
had inadervatingly replied directly to people rather than to the
list).

Many thanks!
Andy


qt.qpa.wayland: Wayland does not support QWindow::requestActivate()
This plugin supports grabbing the mouse only for popup windows
