Plain Google translate:

After installing ubuntu I got 11.10 Abiword and LyX applications. In Abiword, when I want to change the style settings I am using, the program crashes, which does not happen when, on the same computer, I use linux Bodhi, which makes me think that is a problem with Unity.

With LyX happens to me, after some time of inactivity, the dropdown to select environments works not only lets you choose between the environment "normal" and the LyX codex. As in the case of Abiword, when I use the program in Bodhi, I have that problem.

I've looked online and have not found any solution to these problems that are mentioned even in the most popular forums on these two programs, so I suspect to be an issue linked to Unity desktop environment because otherwise I explain how on the same computer and other desktop environments programs work correctly.

Any suggestions would be welcome.

Thank you.

Original question:

El menú de contornos de LyX no funciona y tampoco el de Estilos de Abiword

Después de instalar ubuntu 11.10 me bajé las aplicaciones Abiword y LyX. En Abiword, cuando quiero cambiar la configuración del estilo que estoy utilizando, el programa se colapsa, cosa que no pasa cuando, en el mismo ordenador, utilizo Bodhi linux, lo que me hace pensar que es un problema relacionado con Unity.

Con LyX me pasa que, después de estar inactivo cierto tiempo, el dropdown para elegir entornos no funciona, sólo permite elegir entre el entorno "normal" y el de LyX codex. Como en el caso de Abiword, cuando utilizo el programa en Bodhi, no tengo ese problema.

He mirado en internet y no he encontrado solución a ninguno de estos problemas que ni siquiera aparecen mencionados en los foros más frecuentados en relación con estos dos programas, por lo que sospecho que debe ser una cuestión ligada al entorno de escritorio de Unity porque si no no me explico como en la misma computadora y con otros entornos de escritorio los programas funcionan correctamente.

Cualquier sugerencia sería bienvenida.

Gracias.

I have a similar problem, running Lyx on Ubuntu 11.10 with Unity 2D. I cannot chose environments in the dropdown menu in the upper left corner using the mouse. The only way to do it is to click on the dropdown menu with the mouse and then press the arrow key once. (If I want to move down two entries, I have to repeat the whole procedure -- this takes a lot of time for entries further down the list -- very annoying!)
