Severity: normal
Tags: patch
seminar.cls has a bug that prevents proper working with the "a4paper"
option. The option "a4" works.
The bug prevents use of seminar as doctype from LyX together with the
geometry package, as LyX inserts:
\usepackage{geometry}
\geometry{verbose,a4paper,tmargin=1cm,bmargin=1cm,lmargin=2cm,rmargin=2cm}
and subsequentely, LaTeX reports an
! Undefined control sequence.
error
An ugly workaround is
