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...
