Problems with section numbering in lyx 1.6

[David Roscoe]

Binary package hint: lyx

Package = lyx 1.6.1-1~hardy1
Kubuntu = 8.04.1

This only applies to lyx 1.6.** and not lyx 1.5.* etc. When creating a document with numbered sections, subsections, etc, the section numbers are correctly shown in the lyx workspace and toc, but the subsection numbers do not. For example, for section 5, I get

5 "title of section"

whilst for subsection 5.3, I actually get

??.3 "title of subsection".

The question marks (??) appear as shown.

The final pdf output is perfectly ok with sections, subsections etc properly numbered. I have tried compiling myself from source, and I have tried the most recent binary package downloaded from kubuntu (lyx 1.6.1-1~hardy1). It makes no difference.

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better.

Using LyX 1.6.1-1 on Ubuntu 8.10, I failed to reproduce this bug. Please take a look at the LyX Introduction (Help -> Introduction) and report if this bug is still present in that document. Also please create and attach a basic LyX document in which the bug is present.

If you are fine with reseting LyX to the original settings, you can delete the ".lyx" directory in your home directory. This can be accomplished with the command "rm -rf ~/.lyx" (without quotes).
