I know that Stephan (our main OSX person) has been chasing this sort of
bug for a while. If you have any ideas or insights, you could post them
to lyx-devel.

<p>Hi,</p>
<p>I'll hold off for now, as I may have found the problem by
accident, and it's the weirdest thing. It seems that when I
insert a graphic located in the same directory as the
document (e.g., ./MyGraphic.png) the LyX:Graphics window
stays visible. But when the graphic is located at, e.g.,
../images/MyGraphic.png, as soon as one hits the "Open"
button on the graphics browser, the little LyX:Graphics
window scoots behind the currently visible document window,
thereby giving the impression that the dialog window closed
inappropriately.</p>

There have been other reports of this kind of behavior on OSX.
Indeed, this sounds like a close relative of bug #10047: <a

Can you try doing this and selecting JUST graphics messages?
The general debug messages make it hard to read the log (and
all TextMetric and focus messages are of that type). It
would also help if you could do exactly the same thing, but
with the image in the place that it does work. Then we can
compare.<br>
