It would appear that on May 31, Bernardo Barros did say:
Hi,
Is there a reason not to update Lyx 1.6 to 2.0? Or at least create two packages lyx1 and lyx?
Is there known bugs there?
I'm not sure if this applies to Arch. it might be just an issue with the binary provided in the repository for PCLinuxOS... Where I just did an apt-get upgrade a few days ago and wound up with LyX 2.0.0 And had some issues with the spellchecker and/or the preference settings for it. Most of which would not be an issue if I didn't sometimes have difficulty with using the mouse and/or if I LIKED sidebars. «I don't mind the spellchecker being sidebar style instead of the pop-up because the pop-up used to sometimes hide the context of the word in question.‥ BUT I can't seem to turn off the option to spell check continuously... And there isn't a keyboard shortcut to dismiss the sidebar.» However I did note that while the preferences say it's using aspell, adding a word to the dictionary does NOT put it in ~/.aspell.en.pws which I can edit to remove words I wish I hadn't added... (Thus it seems my PCLinuxOS copy of LyX will forever accept "puleese" as a legitimate alternative spelling for "please" cause I can't un-add it. And also added a hyphenated "name" «literally ‘Avant-garde’» to the dictionary to ensure I spelled it consistently. The Spellchecker on my PCLinuxOS copy of LyX 2.0.0 no longer recognizes that, even after I tried adding it again...
