[Pkg-lyx-devel] Bug#640104: lyx: Lyx crashes when two windows of the same file are open

[Flemming Bjerke]

Package: lyx
Version: 1.6.7-1
Severity: important
Tags: upstream

Lyx crashes when two windows of the same file are open (having used "new
window" from the file menu).

I am pretty sure that this is a bug which has been abundant for quite a long
time.

But, it quite annoying that you cannot more than one window of a document when
you write large and complex texts.
