5 1. Bugs that aim for 1.5.0 should be listed here.
6 2. Whoever fixes a bug sign his name before the bug and move it to the end of
7 this file, along with a lyx-devel announcement.
9 Prizes (donated by Michael):
11 #1: LyX-labeled Tick Tock Wall Clock
12 #2: LyX-labeled Coffee and Tea Mug
13 #3: LyX-labeled Mousepad
25 * When I "Save as..." in /tmp, I get a Backup error popup about non writable
26 /tmp, which is obviously not true. The file is there, and if I try to Save
27 as again, I get the overwrite popup warning twice: once in English, once
28 in French. (J. P. Chretien)
30 * Loading de_Userguide.lyx results in two parse errors:
31 Paragraph ended in line 21206
33 Paragraph ended in line 21301
35 I don't know if that is a lyx2lyx or LyX problem. LyX 1.4 can read the file.
38 SPELL CHECKING (Joost 4/11/06)
40 * Spell checking cannot be invoked a second time.
42 * The first time the spell checker is started, an empty window shown instead
43 of the first misspelled word.
45 * Words with umlauts or accents do not arrive as a whole word in the spell
54 * In TOC, the buttons "Up", "Down", "Promote", and "Demote" are not
55 self-explaining. Why don't we group them in two pairs: Section Up/Down, Level
56 Up/Down? The arrangement of the buttons may also give some hint to the user.
58 * The items in the treeview are editable
60 * When content (sections/captions) is changed, the toc/lof/lot is not properly
62 Abdel 2006-11-17: This one is not as simple as it seems as it involves a
63 TocBackend update at each keystroke. Unless we manage to update a specific
64 TocItem, this will be a WONTFIX for 1.5.0.
68 * when opening an already opened document (or a document with newer backup),
69 the mouse pointer turns into a clock, although it waits for confirmation
71 * If you try to view a document as postscript that cannot be typeset because
72 of LaTeX errors and export to LaTeX afterwards you will get the old error
73 list again, although the export succeded.
78 * In the math control panel, "Detach panel" is broken (only 1 button is
79 visible in the detached panel).
81 * In the math control panel, switching between different "functions" is broken
82 (retry a couple of times).
84 * In the math control panel, there is no icon for "Set Math Font".
86 * In the math control panel, the buttons are too small.
87 The reason is probably that qt resizes the icons so that they fit into the
88 button, leaving some margin. This leads to different scales for each icon.
89 qt3 did not resize the icons. Can this be set in qt4, too?
94 * The visual table size selection on the the "Insert Table" dialog is gone
97 * The UI for bullet selection in the documents settings looks weird
99 There is a big listbox just to select one of the four levels.
100 Isn't this supposed to be a drop-down list or something like that?
102 * The bullet selection widget shows the bullets in 5 columns (instead of 6)
103 for me, and hence does not fit into the window.
107 MULTIPLE WINDOWS / DOCUMENTS
109 * There are cursor problems when the same document is opened in two windows
112 Information from Abdel:
113 Yes, this is the famous dEPM bug (delete Empty Paragraph Mechanism).
114 There are two ways to fix that:
115 1) the correct way: fix the dEPM to not invalidate the cursor.
116 2) the easy way: disable the cursor on focus out event and re-enable it at
117 focus in event and jump the saved position (at focus out).
119 * There should be a close button on the tabs (Joost 3/11/06).
120 There is now a Qt feature request:
121 http://www.trolltech.com/developer/task-tracker/index_html?id=137891&method=entry
124 TOOLBARS & MINIBUFFER
126 * When toolbars are hidden, they pop up again after clicking on the document
127 area (Joost 4/11/06).
129 * Icons in the toolbars do not have the correct size, they are stretched a few
130 pixels compared to 1.4. This makes the images look jagged and the initial
131 window size has also become to small to show the whole toolbar
132 (Joost 4/11/06). See also the math panel buttons entry above.
134 * TODO toolbar popup menu, currently disabled (Peter 9/11/06)
136 * Command completion in the minibuffer shows a huge blank area below the proposed
137 commands. Clicking in that empty area crashes LyX.
142 * edit->text style->capitalize/lower/upper case doesn't work due to the change
143 tracking-related changes.
145 * Copy/paste using middle mouse button inserts musical notes.
147 * open a file; mark with the mouse and scroll; assert will fail:
149 Row const & LyXText::getRowNearY(BufferView const & bv, int y, pit_type pit) const
151 Paragraph const & par = pars_[pit];
152 int yy = bv.coordCache().get(this, pit).y_ - par.ascent();
153 BOOST_ASSERT(!par.rows().empty());
154 RowList::const_iterator rit = par.rows().begin();
155 RowList::const_iterator const rlast = boost::prior(par.rows().end());
156 for (; rit != rlast; yy += rit->height(), ++rit)
157 if (yy + rit->height() > y)
162 * new document; insert note; place cursor in front of the note; activate change tracking;

184 * environments when using czech translation doesnt work: e.g.
185 itemize("Polozka") -> ERROR (layoutSelected): layout not found! (P. Sanda)
188 PAINTING & PERFORMANCE
190 * Selection highlighting is broken. Test case: two paragraphs with "Hello"
191 and "World"; move cursor past "Wor", press Shift+Up
193 * Too much painting 1 (Edwin 3/11/2006): when i click in the workarea (to put
194 the cursor in another part of the text) the screen is repainted *twice*
195 whereas it seems to me that no repainting is necessary at all.
197 * Too much painting 2 (Edwin 3/11/2006): There is also a lot of painting going
198 on when selecting text. When selecting a word the whole screen is repainted.
200 * Too much painting 3 (Edwin 3/11/2006): the screen is repainted even when the
201 selection does not change (moving the mouse with the left button pushed down
202 always triggers a repaint).
204 * The cursor is not L-shaped for foreign languages
206 * Slowness on MAC 1 (Bennett 3/11/06):
207 There seems to be a fraction of a second lag between when I press a key and
208 when the letter appears on screen -- but the time lag doesn't obviously vary
209 with the amount of text on the screen (as was the case previously). Right now,
210 the speed of normal text entry makes LyX-1.5 usable on my
211 not-fast-but-still-not-outdated computer. (Not sure how it would be on my
212 slow-but-still-usable laptop.)
214 * Slowness on MAC 2 (Bennett 3/11/06):
215 Speed is still an issue typing in insets: noticeable lag between typing and
216 text appearing on screen. This does not seem to be compounded by having nested
217 insets, and it seems to be compounded only a little by the amount of text in
218 the inset. (This is especially a problem in math environments.)
220 * Slowness on MAC 3 (Bennett 3/11/06): Some operations that with 1.4 are
221 pretty much instantaneous (inserting a footnote, dragging the mouse, switching
222 to LyX from another application, opening dialogs, etc.) take quite a long time
225 * Some math symbols are not displayed (from Enrico Forestieri)
226 I noticed that some math symbols are not shown on screen. This seems
227 to be platform dependent. The following is a table illustrating the
228 situation on three different platforms. Here "no" means that the
229 symbol is not shown on screen (the symbol is invisible but occupies
230 space: it is as a sort of \phantom), and "yes" that it is shown.
231 ---------------------------------------
232 Symbol Linux Solaris Cygwin
233 ---------------------------------------
239 \spadesuit(*) yes no yes
240 ---------------------------------------
241 (*) On solaris, a square is shown on screen instead of nothing.
242 Further comments from Georg: This is probably a qt4 font drawing problem,
243 since \Omega works fine in 1.4.3, and my debugging results showed that the
244 correct font is found and used (cmr10).
249 * It is ridiculous that you have to call configure with --with-frontend=qt4.
250 The existance of config/qt.m4 does not make much sense either.
255 * Drawing oddities on MAC (Bennett 3/11/06):
256 Lines occasionally overlapping vertically, math characters not properly
259 * Many issues with toolbars on MAC (Bennett 3/11/06):
260 Most obvious of which are that icons are spaced too widely and that changes in
261 the visibility of the toolbars with the GUI do not stick after the screen is
264 * Many issue with dialogs on MAC (Bennett 3/11/06):
265 Most obviously: the Preferences dialog -- which can only be accessed now via
266 keyboard command, not from the menu -- appears initially too small and must be
267 resized; not possible to select buttons with the keyboard).
269 The prefs dialog size should be better now. See below (JSpitzm-2006-11-07).
271 * Some oddities with View menu on MAC (Bennett 3/11/06): DVI does not appear
272 in the menu, even though a converter and viewer are defined in Preferences.
274 * Menu bar disappears on MAC (instead of being disabled) when dialogs appear.
276 * Mac Crash (Bennett 3/11/06):
277 On launch from GUI (by double-clicking on the LyX icon). As I reported before,
278 this happens only when using the GUI; I can successfully start LyX from the
279 Terminal, with or without gdb. Hence the only debug information I get is this,
280 printed out in Console.app when I try launching from the GUI (note that the
281 number changes everytime):
283 Wrong command line option `-psn_0_182321153'. Exiting.
285 Hint from Andreas Vox: LyX must accept any option starting with '-psn' and
286 pass it oon to the Qt initialisation. On Mac this gives the app a link to the
289 * Mac Crash On quit (Bennett).

323 * Performance on Windows is bad. On my system, scrolling the User Guide takes
324 10 seconds with LyX 1.4 and more than 30 seconds with LyX 1.5.
326 FIXED (Abdel 04/11/06): This was due to spurious message in QLPainter.C,
328 * When I have the same document in two windows, only the last selected paragraph
329 in one of the windows gets updated.
331 FIXED (Abdel 04/11/06): This was due my singlePar optimization. With my last
332 commit, the optimization is enabled only if the WorkArea has the focus.
334 * No icon for "note-next" in the "review" toolbar.
336 ADDED (JSpitzm 2006-11-04).
338 * Branches gui broken (buttons do nothing).
340 FIXED (JSpitzm 2006-11-04).
342 * The title bar does not contain the document name when a new window is opened
345 FIXED (Abdel 05/11/06): This was due to "last_title" being a static variable
346 in LyXView::updateWindowTitle() and also due to a potential bug in Qt:
347 an update command to the window title seems to be ignored up until the window
350 * src/frontends/qt4/ui/QCitationUi.ui:70 "&Selected citations:" should be
351 "&Selected Citations:".
353 FIXED (MGerz 2006-11-05)
355 * In the "Math Delimiters" dialog, there is no need to repeat the term "Size"
356 for all values in the selection box; the label is already named "Size"
358 FIXED (MGerz 2006-11-05)
360 * If you open Document>Settings... or Tools>Preferences... for the first time,
361 the dialog is much too small to show its content; if you invoke it the second
362 time, everything is fine.
364 This happens with qt 4.2.1 only, it does not happen with 4.1.4/4.1.5!
366 FIXED (JSpitzm-2006-11-06): force updateGeometry() after the panelstack has
367 been created (with Qt >= 4.2 only). A brute method, but it works.
369 * If you open Edit>Test Style... for the first time, the choice text for
370 "Never Toggled>Size" doesn't fit in the selection box (note that in German,
371 texts are a bit longer than in English). Interestingly, if you invoke the
372 dialog a second time, its button sizes are adjusted to their content.
374 WONTFIX: This happens with qt >= 4.2 only, it does not happen with 4.1.4/4.1.5!
375 (or maybe try to add an updateGeonetry() call somewhere as well; JSpitzm).
377 * All label and button texts in the Qt4 dialogs are not translated.
379 FIXED (MGerz 2006-11-07)
381 * Some English menu items don't have a '&' character. (box, date, paste...)
383 FIXED (MGerz 2006-11-07). I added shortcut whereever possible.
385 * When changing the toolbar settings in the right-button context menu of a
386 visible toolbar, the modified settings are not considered for session management
388 REPLACED with a new entry, popup disabled (Peter 2006-11-09)
390 * Toolbars always show on the top of the screen, even though they are set to
391 "bottom" in the ui file (Joost 3/11/06).
393 FIXED: use the defaul.ui value only when there is no valid position stored
394 (1st start of lyx) (Peter 7/11/2006)
396 * Window positions are not remembered correctly. Each time a window is openend
397 window again it has moved towards the bottom of the screen. (Joost 3/11/06)
399 FIXED (Peter 8/11/2006)
401 * Special handling of [[...]] in text messages is disabled in messages.C
402 FIXED (Georg 2006-11-12)
404 * broken signal/slot connection:
405 Object::connect: No such signal LengthCombo::selectionChanged(LyXLength::UNIT)
406 Object::connect: (sender name: 'unitCO')
407 Object::connect: (receiver name: 'QVSpaceUi')
409 FIXED (JSpitzm 2006-11-12)
411 * Cursor is still not visible on MAC Bennett (3/11/06).
412 FIXED (Abdel 2006-11-13)
414 * crash on Windows/Mac
416 2. insert List/TOC->Bibtex Bilio
417 3. add a bibliography
418 4. View Source ->crash
419 FIXED (Peter 2006-11-14)
421 * In the TOC dialog, switching between the different TOC types (TOC, Table,
422 Float, etc.) is broken.
425 * In the TOC dialog, the slider for altering the display level is
426 non-functional (not implemented).
427 FIXED (Ugras 2006-11-17)
429 * The correct list is not selected when right-clicking on a LOF or
431 FIXED (Ugras 2006-11-17)
433 * When selecting a type which *is* already selected, the content in the
434 browser window vanishes
435 FIXED (Ugras 2006-11-17)
437 * TOC crashes (simply make a few sections, subsections, sections; then add TOC
438 before all sections and click on the left button)
439 FIXED (Abdel, sometimes in november 2006).
441 * Items in the TOC cannot be moved using drag & drop (Joost 4/11/06).
442 WONTFIX (Abdel 2006-11-17): at least not for 1.5.0, this is just candy anyway.
444 * M-x is broken (does not bring up the minibuffer).
445 FIXED (Bo, 2006-11-18): set toolbar flag in display function.
