Description of problem: The code for floatingfootnote omits a backslash before the first occurrence of "endcsname", resulting in multiple error messages (and presumably sometimes bad output). Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): lyx-2.0.3-1.fc16.i686 How reproducible: Apparently always. Steps to Reproduce: 1. Create document with footnote. 2. Export output to latext (plain). Actual results: Preamble has a section that (note first occurrence of "endcsname") reads %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% LyX specific LaTeX commands. %% Special footnote code from the package 'stblftnt.sty' %% Author: Robin Fairbairns -- Last revised Dec 13 1996 \let\SF@@footnote\footnote \def\footnote{\ifx\protect\@typeset@protect \expandafter\SF@@footnote \else \expandafter\SF@gobble@opt \fi } \expandafter\def\csname SF@gobble@opt endcsname{\@ifnextchar[%] \SF@gobble@twobracket \@gobble } \edef\SF@gobble@opt{\noexpand\protect \expandafter\noexpand\csname SF@gobble@opt \endcsname} \def\SF@gobble@twobracket#1#2{} Expected results: Section should read %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% LyX specific LaTeX commands. %% Special footnote code from the package 'stblftnt.sty' %% Author: Robin Fairbairns -- Last revised Dec 13 1996 \let\SF@@footnote\footnote \def\footnote{\ifx\protect\@typeset@protect \expandafter\SF@@footnote \else \expandafter\SF@gobble@opt \fi } \expandafter\def\csname SF@gobble@opt \endcsname{\@ifnextchar[%] \SF@gobble@twobracket \@gobble } \edef\SF@gobble@opt{\noexpand\protect \expandafter\noexpand\csname SF@gobble@opt \endcsname} \def\SF@gobble@twobracket#1#2{} Additional info: See bug report at <URL:http://www.lyx.org/trac/ticket/8116> Source code is apparently LaTeXFeatures.cpp.
I'm afraid that I misidentified the etiology. The bug appears when the code is exported to a .tex file and then reimported. I attach a file to be imported. See <URL:http://www.lyx.org/trac/ticket/8116>.
Created attachment 583885 [details] .lyx file with backslash Export this file to LaTeX, then re-import it, and note that a backslash has vanished.
Created attachment 583886 [details] .tex file with backslah If you want to go straight to the importation, here is a .tex file with a backslash, which will be lost in the reimportation.
The LyX developers have patched this bug in the latest version.
Patch here: http://www.lyx.org/trac/changeset/30219ffc37300933/lyxgit not sure if it's worth backporting to our packaging, or just waiting for 2.0.4 to get released. If I (or other maintainer) finds some spare time, we can backport.
FWIW, milestone 2.0.4 was reached on 28 June. <URL:http://www.lyx.org/trac/milestone/2.0.4> Official source code may be found here: <URL:ftp://ftp.lyx.org/pub/lyx/stable/2.0.x/> (The LyX main page does not yet reflect the up-date.)

Richard (a Fedora user) is waiting for a validation from other developers and users before announcing this release to the world. The purpose is to avoid those cases like 1.2.2 where under some circumstances the installer removed /dev/null from the system... (oops). :-)
