A LyX query here.
Occasionally I accidentally press Thesaurus instead of Statistics when trying to choose the latter from the Tools menu to word-count highlighted text. (They could do with being further apart, especially given the bug I've encountered.)
If this is the first time since installation I've made this mistake with text too wide to fit on the screen, the thesaurus appears, attempting to find a synonym for the selection. Whenever I try using the thesaurus thereafter, even if only with one highlighted word, it doesn't appear. The only fix I've found is reinstalling LyX. My guess is the box (i) remembers how wide it previously needed to be to hold text and (ii) won't appear if that width exceeds some cutoff. Is there any quick way, e.g. with a LyX setting or a registry edit, that I can reset the thesaurus and thereby make it visible again?
Regards,
Jos.

That seems like a LyX bug. Can you please report it at LyX's bug tracker so that it can be fixed?
