Bug Description

I tried selecting lyx-common2.1 ... FROM THE DROP-DOWN that Launchpad gives me, and it tells me it does not exist in Ubuntu. If the packages it gives me to select from aren't valid, then what is? This is more annoying than the bug I'm trying to report!

I'm using LyX 2.1.1. The "Immediate Apply" is sort of eradic. At best, you can't put in a decimal amount for custom spacing with this box selected. It just refuses the decimal point. Trying to type 0.75 results in a spacing of 75! And it applies it immediately which really screws up the screen.

As a suggestion, "Apply Immediately" could mean to apply after the field loses focus or after a set time-out. And decimals should be allowed since it works with the box unchecked. For now, turning off the checkbox fixes everything.
