[Pkg-lyx-devel] Bug#831843: lyx: Layouts not recognized in output

[Martin Haase]

Package: lyx
Version: 2.2.0-2
Severity: grave
Justification: renders package unusable

First: After the upgrade from 2.1.4-2 a custom layout which the previous version
recognized and made usage of no longer works. No - in words: no -
paragraph ending is recognized, no indentation. I see them in the
editor, but in the DVI everything is just one huge paragraph. Which
makes the work of almost two years unusable!

Second: After treading on the above bug I downgraded manually in order
to at least have a version I can work with. However, LyX 2.1.4 then
told me the document had been converted into a format this version
could not recover. This is outrageous! Now I not only have a hardly
useable LyX, but also a document only this unuseable version can read.

I call that a perfect blunder. Wouldn't you coders agree?
