19 SPELL CHECKING (Joost 4/11/06)
21 * Spell checking cannot be invoked a second time.
23 * The first time the spell checker is started, an empty window shown instead
24 of the first misspelled word.
29 * In the TOC dialog, switching between the different TOC types (TOC, Table,
30 Float, etc.) is broken.
32 * In the TOC dialog, the slider for altering the display level is
33 non-functional (not implemented).
35 * TOC crashes (simply make a few sections, subsections, sections; then add TOC
36 before all sections and click on the left button)
38 * Items in the TOC cannot be moved using drag & drop (Joost 4/11/06).
40 * In TOC, the buttons "Up", "Down", "Promote", and "Demote" are not
41 self-explaining. Why don't we group them in two pairs: Section Up/Down, Level
42 Up/Down? The arrangement of the buttons may also give some hint to the user.
47 * If you open Document>Settings... or Tools>Preferences... for the first time,
48 the dialog is much too small to show its content; if you invoke it the second
49 time, everything is fine. This happens with qt 4.2.1, it does not seem to
52 * If you open Edit>Test Style... for the first time, the choice text for
53 "Never Toggled>Size" doesn't fit in the selection box (note that in German,
54 texts are a bit longer than in English). Interestingly, if you invoke the
55 dialog a second time, its button sizes are adjusted to their content.
57 * Window positions are not remembered correctly. Each time a window is openend
58 window again it has moved towards the bottom of the screen. (Joost 3/11/06)
63 * In the math control panel, "Detach panel" is broken (only 1 button is
64 visible in the detached panel).
66 * In the math control panel, switching between different "functions" is broken
67 (retry a couple of times).
69 * In the math control panel, there is no icon for "Set Math Font".
71 * In the math control panel, the buttons are too small.
76 * The visual table size selection on the the "Insert Table" dialog is gone
79 * The UI for bullet selection in the documents settings looks weird
81 There is a big listbox just to select one of the four levels.
82 Isn't this supposed to be a drop-down list or something like that?
85 MULTIPLE WINDOWS / DOCUMENTS
87 * There are cursor problems when the same document is opened in two windows
90 Information from Abdel:
91 Yes, this is the famous dEPM bug (delete Empty Paragraph Mechanism).
92 There are two ways to fix that:
93 1) the correct way: fix the dEPM to not invalidate the cursor.
94 2) the easy way: disable the cursor on focus out event and re-enable it at
95 focus in event and jump the saved position (at focus out).
97 * There should be a close button on the tabs (Joost 3/11/06).
100 TOOLBARS & MINIBUFFER
102 * Toolbars always show on the top of the screen, even though they are set to
103 "bottom" in the ui file (Joost 3/11/06).
105 * When toolbars are hidden, they pop up again after clicking on the document
106 area (Joost 4/11/06).
108 * Icons in the toolbars do not have the correct size, they are stretched a few
109 pixels compared to 1.4. This makes the images look jagged and the initial
110 window size has also become to small to show the whole toolbar
113 * M-x is broken (does not bring up the minibuffer).
115 * Command completion in the minibuffer shows a huge blank area below the proposed
116 commands. Clicking in that empty area crashes LyX.
121 * edit->text style->capitalize/lower/upper case doesn't work due to the change
122 tracking-related changes.
124 * Copy/paste using middle mouse button inserts musical notes.
129 * Some English menu items don't have a '&' character. (box, date, paste...)
131 * All label and button texts in the Qt4 dialogs are not translated.
133 * Special handling of [[...]] in text messages is disabled in messages.C
136 PAINTING & PERFORMANCE
138 * Selection highlighting is broken. Test case: two paragraphs with "Hello"
139 and "World"; move cursor past "Wor", press Shift+Up
141 * Too much painting 1 (Edwin 3/11/2006): when i click in the workarea (to put
142 the cursor in another part of the text) the screen is repainted *twice*
143 whereas it seems to me that no repainting is necessary at all.
145 * Too much painting 2 (Edwin 3/11/2006): There is also a lot of painting going
146 on when selecting text. When selecting a word the whole screen is repainted.
148 * Too much painting 3 (Edwin 3/11/2006): the screen is repainted even when the
149 selection does not change (moving the mouse with the left button pushed down
150 always triggers a repaint).
152 * Cursor is still not visible on MAC (Bennett 3/11/06).
154 * Slowness on MAC 1 (Bennett 3/11/06):
155 There seems to be a fraction of a second lag between when I press a key and
156 when the letter appears on screen -- but the time lag doesn't obviously vary
157 with the amount of text on the screen (as was the case previously). Right now,
158 the speed of normal text entry makes LyX-1.5 usable on my
159 not-fast-but-still-not-outdated computer. (Not sure how it would be on my
160 slow-but-still-usable laptop.)
162 * Slowness on MAC 2 (Bennett 3/11/06):
163 Speed is still an issue typing in insets: noticeable lag between typing and
164 text appearing on screen. This does not seem to be compounded by having nested
165 insets, and it seems to be compounded only a little by the amount of text in
166 the inset. (This is especially a problem in math environments.)
168 * Slowness on MAC 3 (Bennett 3/11/06): Some operations that with 1.4 are
169 pretty much instantaneous (inserting a footnote, dragging the mouse, switching
170 to LyX from another application, opening dialogs, etc.) take quite a long time
176 * Cursor is still not visible on MAC Bennett (3/11/06).
178 * Drawing oddities on MAC (Bennett 3/11/06):
179 Lines occasionally overlapping vertically, math characters not properly
182 * Many issues with toolbars on MAC (Bennett 3/11/06):
183 Most obvious of which are that icons are spaced too widely and that changes in
184 the visibility of the toolbars with the GUI do not stick after the screen is
187 * Many issue with dialogs on MAC (Bennett 3/11/06):
188 Most obviously: the Preferences dialog -- which can only be accessed now via
189 keyboard command, not from the menu -- appears initially too small and must be
190 resized; not possible to select buttons with the keyboard).
192 * Some oddities with View menu on MAC (Bennett 3/11/06): DVI does not appear
193 in the menu, even though a converter and viewer are defined in Preferences.
195 * Menu bar disappears on MAC (instead of being disabled) when dialogs appear.
197 * Mac Crash (Bennett 3/11/06):
198 On launch from GUI (by double-clicking on the LyX icon). As I reported before,
199 this happens only when using the GUI; I can successfully start LyX from the
200 Terminal, with or without gdb. Hence the only debug information I get is this,
201 printed out in Console.app when I try launching from the GUI (note that the
202 number changes everytime):
204 Wrong command line option `-psn_0_182321153'. Exiting.
206 Hint from Andreas Vox: LyX must accept any option starting with '-psn' and
207 pass it oon to the Qt initialisation. On Mac this gives the app a link to the
210 * Mac Crash On quit (Bennett).

244 * Performance on Windows is bad. On my system, scrolling the User Guide takes
245 10 seconds with LyX 1.4 and more than 30 seconds with LyX 1.5.
247 FIXED (Abdel 04/11/06): This was due to spurious message in QLPainter.C,
249 * When I have the same document in two windows, only the last selected paragraph
250 in one of the windows gets updated.
252 FIXED (Abdel 04/11/06): This was due my singlePar optimization. With my last
253 commit, the optimization is enabled only if the WorkArea has the focus.
255 * No icon for "note-next" in the "review" toolbar.
257 ADDED (JSpitzm 2006-11-04).
259 * Branches gui broken (buttons do nothing).
261 FIXED (JSpitzm 2006-11-04).
263 * The title bar does not contain the document name when a new window is opened
266 FIXED (Abdel 05/11/06): This was due to "last_title" being a static variable
267 in LyXView::updateWindowTitle() and also due to a potential bug in Qt:
268 an update command to the window title seems to be ignored up until the window
271 * src/frontends/qt4/ui/QCitationUi.ui:70 "&Selected citations:" should be
272 "&Selected Citations:".
274 FIXED (MGerz 2006-11-05)
276 * In the "Math Delimiters" dialog, there is no need to repeat the term "Size"
277 for all values in the selection box; the label is already named "Size"
279 FIXED (MGerz 2006-11-05)
