LyX2.2.2 on Mac: "math delimiter" is empty

Post by lyx101 »

Mac OSX 10.7.5, LyX 2.2.2. This error appears to have happened when I updated to 2.2.2. Before there was a wide range of brackets available in math-mode; I particularly need bra and ket brackets. Attached is a screen-shot of what I have now.

Thank you.

Recommended reading 2024:

LaTeXguide.org • LaTeX-Cookbook.net • TikZ.org

NEW: TikZ book now 40% off at Amazon.com for a short time.

And: Currently, Packt sells ebooks for $4.99 each if you buy 5 of their over 1000 ebooks. If you choose only a single one, $9.99. How about combining 3 LaTeX books with Python, gnuplot, mathplotlib, Matlab, ChatGPT or other AI books? Epub and PDF. Bundle (3 books, add more for higher discount): https://packt.link/MDH5p

What LyX version did you upgrade from? There have been some changes to this part of the code (see e.g. https://www.lyx.org/trac/ticket/10118), but I don't think I'm seen someone report the issue you describe.

Note that you can use ERT in math to enter LaTeX directly. It's not ideal, but perhaps it is a workaround.

I suggest you open a bug report at https://www.lyx.org/trac

Updated from LyX 2.1.5. I will report it as a bug. My thanks for your help!
