LyX Beamer Author Names Get Cut Off

Question

I am using LyX and the beamer template to write presentation slides for a conference paper, which has three authors. This is not a problem, until I notice that the third name gets cut off from the bottom left corner of the slide (see screenshot below). How can I fix this?

Technical Details:

• Mac OS X 10.7.5 (Lion)
• LaTeX Version 2.0 (build 150)
• LyX Version 2.0.6

One option is to reduce the font used for authors in the footline; you can try adding to the preamble the following:

\setbeamerfont{author in head/foot}{size=\tiny}

or (for even smaller size):

\setbeamerfont{author in head/foot}{size=\fontsize{4}{4.8}\selectfont}
