Using a4wide and double line spacing

[torquil@…]

When setting double line spacing in the document settings, and having
\usepackage{a4wide} in the preamble, the text runs past the bottom of the
page. This is because

\usepackage{a4wide}

ends up below

\usepackage{setspace}
\doublespacing

These have to be in the opposite order to work as they are intended. Maybe LyX
could have its own configure option for a4wide? It would be easier than having
to adjust each margin separately. As a workaround I specify both
the line spacing and a4wide in the preamble myself.

We had support for a4wide, but we removed it, since a4wide is a problematic
package, and we discourage its use.

For an explanation, read:
​ftp://dante.ctan.org/tex-archive/info/l2tabu/english/l2tabuen.pdf
(section 1.1)

So I'm afraid you're on your own if you insist on using this package.

Thanks, I will instead use the suggestion I found in that document to use the
KOMA-script article class. It seems to take more advantage of the A4 paper.

I will also read the rest of that document with interest :-)
