Endless typesetting with enabled Show changes in output

[Dr Eberhard Lisse]

Daniel,

what is often helpful is to export the files to LaTeX and run that
manually perusing the log files.

The tracking feature clashes with a few other packages, for example if I
mark text with yellow background.

I personally find it overrated in any case and try to avoid it.  I use
RCS for everything bigger than a short letter and comparing differences
between versions in supported within LyX.

greetings, el
