39 SPELL CHECKING (Joost 4/11/06)
41 * Words with umlauts or accents do not arrive as a whole word in the spell
43 PARTIALLY FIXED (Georg 2006-12-10): pspell should work (untested), ispell
44 works if lyxrc.isp_use_input_encoding == true, aspell works on linux,
45 cygwin and native windows (it is not clear yet whether it works on OS X).
46 ispell (if lyxrc.isp_use_input_encoding == false) does not work yet.
51 * Dialogs do not get focus (e.g. when clicking on an inset).
56 * In the math control panel, there is no icon for the "Fractions" button.
58 * In the math control panel, the buttons are too small.
59 The reason is probably that qt resizes the icons so that they fit into the
60 button, leaving some margin. This leads to different scales for each icon.
61 qt3 did not resize the icons. Can this be set in qt4, too? MG: Why don't we
67 * The visual table size selection on the "Insert Table" dialog has gone
70 * The UI for bullet selection in the documents settings looks weird
72 There is a big listbox just to select one of the four levels.
73 Isn't this supposed to be a drop-down list or something like that?
75 * The bullet selection widget shows the bullets in 5 columns (instead of 6)
76 for me, and hence does not fit into the window.
80 MULTIPLE WINDOWS / DOCUMENTS
82 * There are cursor problems when the same document is opened in two windows
85 Information from Abdel:
86 Yes, this is the famous dEPM bug (delete Empty Paragraph Mechanism).
87 There are two ways to fix that:
88 1) the correct way: fix the dEPM to not invalidate the cursor.
89 2) the easy way: disable the cursor on focus out event and re-enable it at
90 focus in event and jump the saved position (at focus out).
92 * Middle button paste does not work across windows. (Bo 12/15/06)
97 * Some oddities with View menu on MAC (Bennett 3/11/06): DVI does not appear
98 in the menu, even though a converter and viewer are defined in Preferences.
99 It turned out that this was a user error: a configuration file of 1.4 was
100 used without the document flag.
101 This should definitely be documented somewhere before the final release,
102 because many users will copy their old config files.
107 * edit->text style->capitalize/lower/upper case doesn't work due to change
108 tracking-related changes.
113 * No change bar is given in LaTeX output if (only) the par break has changed
115 * In tables, cut & paste (complete cells) do not support change tracking
117 * When running "find & replace", the cursor is not moved forward, such
118 that LyX always offers to replace the same string
123 * environments when using czech translation doesnt work: e.g.
124 itemize("Polozka") -> ERROR (layoutSelected): layout not found! (P. Sanda)
127 PAINTING & PERFORMANCE
129 * END_LABEL_* handling in RowPainer::paintLast() is broken. In regular text,
130 label boxes are not completely visible (because we shrinked the margin on
131 screen?). Inside of insets, they don't work at all.
133 * The cursor is not L-shaped for foreign languages
135 * Some math symbols are not displayed (from Enrico Forestieri)
136 I noticed that some math symbols are not shown on screen. This seems
137 to be platform dependent. The following is a table illustrating the
138 situation on three different platforms. Here "no" means that the
139 symbol is not shown on screen (the symbol is invisible but occupies
140 space: it is as a sort of \phantom), and "yes" that it is shown.
141 ---------------------------------------
142 Symbol Linux Solaris Cygwin
143 ---------------------------------------
149 \spadesuit(*) yes no yes
150 ---------------------------------------
151 (*) On solaris, a square is shown on screen instead of nothing.
152 - Further comments from Georg: This is probably a qt4 font drawing problem,
153 since \Omega works fine in 1.4.3, and my debugging results showed that the
154 correct font is found and used (cmr10).
155 - Solved problem with \int and \oint on Windows (Enrico 2006-12-06).
156 - On my linux box it looks a bit different: \int is shown if it was a \square,
157 bot about half as wide and in black instead of blue. For \Omega I see the
158 same as Enrico. (Georg 2007-01-18)
163 * Many issues with toolbars on MAC (Bennett 3/11/06):
164 Most obvious of which are that icons are spaced too widely and that changes in
165 the visibility of the toolbars with the GUI do not stick after the screen is
168 * Menu bar disappears on MAC (instead of being disabled) when dialogs appear.
173 * There should be a close button on the tabs (Joost 3/11/06).
174 There is now a Qt feature request:
175 http://www.trolltech.com/developer/task-tracker/index_html?id=137891&method=entry
177 * TODO toolbar popup menu, currently disabled (Peter 9/11/06)
179 * When content (sections/captions) is changed, the toc/lof/lot is not properly
181 Abdel 2006-11-17: This one is not as simple as it seems as it involves a
182 TocBackend update at each keystroke. Unless we manage to update a specific
183 TocItem, this will be a WONTFIX for 1.5.0.
186 **********************************************************************
191 * Performance on Windows is bad. On my system, scrolling the User Guide takes
192 10 seconds with LyX 1.4 and more than 30 seconds with LyX 1.5.
194 FIXED (Abdel 04/11/06): This was due to spurious message in QLPainter.C,
196 * When I have the same document in two windows, only the last selected paragraph
197 in one of the windows gets updated.
199 FIXED (Abdel 04/11/06): This was due my singlePar optimization. With my last
200 commit, the optimization is enabled only if the WorkArea has the focus.
202 * No icon for "note-next" in the "review" toolbar.
204 ADDED (JSpitzm 2006-11-04).
206 * Branches gui broken (buttons do nothing).
208 FIXED (JSpitzm 2006-11-04).
210 * The title bar does not contain the document name when a new window is opened
213 FIXED (Abdel 05/11/06): This was due to "last_title" being a static variable
214 in LyXView::updateWindowTitle() and also due to a potential bug in Qt:
215 an update command to the window title seems to be ignored up until the window
218 * src/frontends/qt4/ui/QCitationUi.ui:70 "&Selected citations:" should be
219 "&Selected Citations:".
221 FIXED (MGerz 2006-11-05)
223 * In the "Math Delimiters" dialog, there is no need to repeat the term "Size"
224 for all values in the selection box; the label is already named "Size"
226 FIXED (MGerz 2006-11-05)
228 * If you open Document>Settings... or Tools>Preferences... for the first time,
229 the dialog is much too small to show its content; if you invoke it the second
230 time, everything is fine.
232 This happens with qt 4.2.1 only, it does not happen with 4.1.4/4.1.5!
234 FIXED (JSpitzm-2006-11-06): force updateGeometry() after the panelstack has
235 been created (with Qt >= 4.2 only). A brute method, but it works.
237 * All label and button texts in the Qt4 dialogs are not translated.
239 FIXED (MGerz 2006-11-07)
241 * Some English menu items don't have a '&' character. (box, date, paste...)
243 FIXED (MGerz 2006-11-07). I added shortcut whereever possible.
245 * When changing the toolbar settings in the right-button context menu of a
246 visible toolbar, the modified settings are not considered for session management
248 REPLACED with a new entry, popup disabled (Peter 2006-11-09)
250 * Toolbars always show on the top of the screen, even though they are set to
251 "bottom" in the ui file (Joost 3/11/06).
253 FIXED: use the defaul.ui value only when there is no valid position stored
254 (1st start of lyx) (Peter 7/11/2006)
256 * Window positions are not remembered correctly. Each time a window is openend
257 window again it has moved towards the bottom of the screen. (Joost 3/11/06)
259 FIXED (Peter 8/11/2006)
261 * Special handling of [[...]] in text messages is disabled in messages.C
262 FIXED (Georg 2006-11-12)
264 * broken signal/slot connection:
265 Object::connect: No such signal LengthCombo::selectionChanged(LyXLength::UNIT)
266 Object::connect: (sender name: 'unitCO')
267 Object::connect: (receiver name: 'QVSpaceUi')
269 FIXED (JSpitzm 2006-11-12)
271 * Cursor is still not visible on MAC Bennett (3/11/06).
272 FIXED (Abdel 2006-11-13)
274 * crash on Windows/Mac
276 2. insert List/TOC->Bibtex Bilio
277 3. add a bibliography
278 4. View Source ->crash
279 FIXED (Peter 2006-11-14)
281 * In the TOC dialog, switching between the different TOC types (TOC, Table,
282 Float, etc.) is broken.
285 * In the TOC dialog, the slider for altering the display level is
286 non-functional (not implemented).
287 FIXED (Ugras 2006-11-17)
289 * The correct list is not selected when right-clicking on a LOF or
291 FIXED (Ugras 2006-11-17)
293 * When selecting a type which *is* already selected, the content in the
294 browser window vanishes
295 FIXED (Ugras 2006-11-17)
297 * TOC crashes (simply make a few sections, subsections, sections; then add TOC
298 before all sections and click on the left button)
299 FIXED (Abdel, sometimes in november 2006).
301 * Items in the TOC cannot be moved using drag & drop (Joost 4/11/06).
302 WONTFIX (Abdel 2006-11-17): at least not for 1.5.0, this is just candy anyway.
304 * M-x is broken (does not bring up the minibuffer).
305 FIXED (Bo, 2006-11-18): set toolbar flag in display function.
307 * open a file; mark with the mouse and scroll; assert will fail:
308 FIXED (Abdel 2006-11-20): side effect of updateMetrics() cleanup.
310 * Selection highlighting is broken. Test case: two paragraphs with "Hello"
311 and "World"; move cursor past "Wor", press Shift+Up
312 FIXED (Abdel 2006-11-20): side effect of updateMetrics() cleanup.
314 * Mac Crash (Bennett 3/11/06):
315 On launch from GUI (by double-clicking on the LyX icon). As I reported before,
316 this happens only when using the GUI; I can successfully start LyX from the
317 Terminal, with or without gdb. Hence the only debug information I get is this,
318 printed out in Console.app when I try launching from the GUI (note that the
319 number changes everytime):
321 Wrong command line option `-psn_0_182321153'. Exiting.
323 Hint from Andreas Vox: LyX must accept any option starting with '-psn' and
324 pass it oon to the Qt initialisation. On Mac this gives the app a link to the
326 FIXED (Abdel 2006-11-25): Arguments are now passed to QApplication.
328 * In the math control panel, "Detach panel" is broken (only 1 button is
329 visible in the detached panel).
330 FIXED (Edwin/Ugras 2006-11-XX)
332 * Command completion in the minibuffer shows a huge blank area below the proposed
333 commands. Clicking in that empty area crashes LyX.
336 * Copy/paste using middle mouse button inserts musical notes.
337 FIXED (Abdel 2006-11): Confirmed by Michael who couldn't reproduce on SuSE Linux 9.3)
339 * new document; insert note; place cursor in front of the note; activate change tracking;
340 press delete => assertion failed
341 FIXED (JMarc 2006-11)
343 * new document; insert note; insert "hello" into note; place the cursor at the beginning of the note;
344 activate change tracking; press backspace => seg fault
345 FIXED (Michael 2006-11-25)
347 * Mac Crash On quit (Bennett).
348 FIXED (Peter 2006-11-20)
350 * Drawing oddities on MAC (Bennett 3/11/06):
351 Lines occasionally overlapping vertically, math characters not properly
353 FIXED (JMarc 2006-11).
355 * Icons in the toolbars do not have the correct size, they are stretched a few
356 pixels compared to 1.4. This makes the images look jagged and the initial
357 window size has also become to small to show the whole toolbar
358 (Joost 4/11/06). See also the math panel buttons entry above.
359 FIXED (Peter, 2006-11-28)
361 * The -geometry option doesn't work on Windows (it did in 1.4.x)
362 c:\> lyx-qt4.exe -geometry 800x600+100+30
363 Wrong command line option `-geometry'. Exiting.
364 FIXED (Peter, 2006-11-29)
366 * When I "Save as..." in /tmp, I get a Backup error popup about non writable
367 /tmp, which is obviously not true. The file is there, and if I try to Save
368 as again, I get the overwrite popup warning twice: once in English, once
369 in French. (J. P. Chretien)
370 FIXED (Michael (found the problem), Georg (fix), 2006-11-30)
372 * It is ridiculous that you have to call configure with --with-frontend=qt4.
373 The existance of config/qt.m4 does not make much sense either.
374 The first one is FIXED, the second WONTFIX (JMarc 07-12-2006)
376 * Open de_Intro.lyx => The footnote text in the title section exceeds the
378 FIXED (Enrico 2006-12-09). This was due to wrong metrics for small caps.
380 * Spell checking cannot be invoked a second time.
381 FIXED (Georg 2006-12-10). Abdel accidentally committed some test code in
382 revision 14970 which I reverted.
384 * The first time the spell checker is started, an empty window shown instead
385 of the first misspelled word.
386 FIXED (Georg 2006-12-10). This bug had the same resaon as the previous one.
388 * Create a new document; enter a few chars; press return; click on the previous paragraph
389 with mouse to change the focus: lyx crashes. (happens on Win XP SP2,
390 MSVC 2005 Prof., Scons)
391 FIXED (JSpitzm 2006-12-11)
393 * open lyx, create a new document, enter a few chars, quit, click cancel, lyx
395 FIXED (Enrico 2006-12-12)
397 * Non-ascii filenames do not work at all and result in an assertion or garbage.
398 FIXED (Georg 2006-12-12).
400 * LyX tries to delete /tmp if it is called with invalid arguments
401 FIXED (Enrico 2006-12-13)
403 * Start lyx, open a document, scroll down, open a new window, move
404 the cursor back, lyx crashes because par::rows() is cleared when the
405 new window is created.
406 FIXED (Bo 2006-12-13)
408 * Start lyx, open a doc, open another window for the same
409 document. Now, from window A, click at paragraph X, scroll down to paragraph Y,
410 switch to window B, click, switch back to window A. When mouse moves, editXY()
411 finds the correct pit for paragraph Y, when click, editXY() finds paragraph X
412 and scroll back to it. (Bo, 12/14/2006)
413 FIXED (Abdel 2006-12-15)
415 * In the citation dialog, the shortcut for "&Find" does not work
416 FIXED (JSpitzm 2006-12-17)
418 * Graphics dialog: The order of fields is broken (when using <TAB> to jump from
419 one field to another)
420 FIXED (JSpitzm 2006-12-18)
422 * Mysterious *.po entry:
424 #: src/frontends/qt4/ui/QViewSourceUi.ui:31
426 "<html><head><meta name=\"qrichtext\" content=\"1\" /></head><body style=\" "
427 "white-space: pre-wrap; font-family:Sans Serif; font-size:13pt; font-"

430 "margin-right:0px; -qt-block-indent:0; text-indent:0px;\"></p></body></html>"
432 FIXED (JSpitzm 2006-12-19)
434 * Loading de_Userguide.lyx results in two parse errors:
435 Paragraph ended in line 21206
437 Paragraph ended in line 21301
439 I don't know if that is a lyx2lyx or LyX problem. LyX 1.4 can read the file.
440 FIXED (Georg 2006-12-17). It turned out that it was a math parser problem
441 (bug 3034). It was introduced by the conversion of mathed to unicode,
442 because two methods Parser::tokenize() with different semantics existed.
444 * In the splash screen, the LyX version number is printed with a very, very
445 small font size such that it becomes almost invisible on Windows.
446 FIXED (Enrico 2006-12-21)
448 * Change Tools->Preferences->User interface->User interface to something like
449 "kornel.default.ui"; save prefs; exit LyX; restart LyX; => crash;
450 in the preferences file, there is an entry \bind_file "/Something/kornel.default"
452 In QPrefsDialog.C:1736, function PrefUserInterface::select_ui() calls
453 form_->controller().browseUI(qstring_to_ucs4(uiFileED->text())))
456 browseLibFile(lyx::from_ascii("ui"), file, lyx::from_ascii("ui"),
457 _("Choose UI file"), FileFilterList(_("LyX UI files (*.ui)")));
458 In this function, the extension is removed, because it is the default ("ui" in
459 this case). This behaviour applies to
460 ControlPrefs::browsebind, ControlPrefs::browseUI
461 ControlPrefs::browsekbmap, ControlPrefs::browsedict
462 Setting the default extension here to something invalid, is a hack, but works.
463 (Invalid may be e.g. "*")
464 FIXED (Enrico and Georg 2006-12-21)
466 * When loading a LyX file from a Windows directory with a German Umlaut, I get the
469 Assertion triggered in __thiscall lyx::support::FileName::FileName(const class
470 std::basic_string<char,struct std::char_traits<char>,class std::allocator<char> > &)
471 by failing check "empty() || absolutePath(name_)" in file C:\...\src\support\filename.C:47
473 If I rename the directory (no Umlaut), I can load the file without a problem.
474 FIXED (Enrico and Georg 2006-12-21)
476 * when opening an already opened document (or a document with newer backup),
477 the mouse pointer turns into a clock, although it waits for confirmation
478 FIXED (Enrico 2006-12-21)
480 * The style name in the BibTeX Bibliography panel (near the Browse... button)
481 disappears after closing and reopening the panel.
482 FIXED (Enrico 2006-12-22)
484 * Create a new document; enter a few chars; press return; from the
485 environments combo box on the top left corner select anything, e.g., 'Part';
486 try to enter text => you can't!
487 MG: This must be a GUI problem; when using keyboard shortcuts (Alt-P-...),
488 the problem does not occur; it does not matter whether the cursor is in the last line
489 JSpitzm: The problem is that the workarea doesn't get focus after the combo selection.
491 FIXED (Abdel 2006-12-24): centralWidget() was not the WorkArea due to the new TabBar
494 * On Windows (using scons/MSVC): Create an empty bibtex file, called
495 'lit.bib'. Create a new LyX document 'lit.lyx' in the same directory
496 that has a bibliography inset pointing to lit.bib.
497 Now, if lit.[lyx|bib] are stored in a path with ASCII characters only,
498 class FileName is used as follows:
499 FileName::FileName(string const &): C:/foo/lit.lyx.emergency

506 FileName::FileName(string const &): C:/foo//CVS/Entries
507 FileName::FileName(string const &): C:/foo/lit.lyx
508 However, if the path contains a German Umlaut ("bäh"), LyX crashes:

517 FIXED (Enrico (found problem) and Georg (fix) 2006-12-27)
519 * open a document full of marginal notes (other insets should also work),
520 select multiple insets from the begining twice, lyx crashed with
521 QLayout::addChildWidget: lyx::frontend::QCommandBuffer "" in wrong parent; moved to correct parent
522 Assertion triggered in void lyx::LyXText::dispatch(lyx::LCursor&, lyx::FuncRequest&) by failing check "cur.text() == this" in file src/text3.C:323
524 FIXED (Bo 2006-12-27)
526 * insert->note->lyx note, enter a few chars, collapse the note. Copy the note
527 several times (three lines?), use mouse to select. Lyx crashes with
528 Assertion triggered in void lyx::LyXText::dispatch(lyx::LCursor&, lyx::FuncRequest&) by failing check "cur.text() == this" in file src/text3.C:323
529 NOTE: this is unrelated to the button face-lift patch.
531 FIXED (Bo 2006-12-27)
533 * Open "de_Intro.lyx"; mark first word ("Einführung"); invoke "ert-insert" => seg fault
534 FIXED (Abdel 2006-30-12)
536 * The items in the treeview are editable
537 FIXED (Peter 2006-30-12)
539 * Open de_UserGuide.lyx; go to the end of the document; click into the footnote (with the mouse -
540 this is important for the test case); add a character into the note
541 => the complete footnote is expanded but only the current line is repainted
542 FIXED (Abdel 2006-12-29): following Paragraph and LyXText metrics cleanup.
544 * Spellchecker: The cursor does not go to the currently checked word (or
545 maybe it goes, but the screen is not updated so that one does not see the
546 word). http://bugzilla.lyx.org/show_bug.cgi?id=3064
547 FIXED (Abdel 2007-01-05):
549 * If you open Edit>Text Style... for the first time, the choice text for
550 "Never Toggled>Size" doesn't fit in the selection box (note that in German,
551 texts are a bit longer than in English). Interestingly, if you invoke the
552 dialog a second time, its button sizes are adjusted to their content.
553 This happens with qt >= 4.2 only, it does not happen with 4.1.4/4.1.5!
555 FIXED (2007-01-07 JSpitzm). I forgot to commit the ui changes last time.
557 * open an empty document; click on TOC (TOC dialog has no contents); touch TOC slider
560 FIXED (2007-01-07 JSpitzm). The slider is properly disabled now.
562 * If you open the graphics dialog for the first time, the "extra options"
563 tab is displayed. This is annyoing, of course the first tab with the
564 filename should be the default.
566 FIXED (2007-01-07 JSpitzm).
568 * Resolve compiler warnings
569 src/frontends/qt4/QPrefsDialog.C:944: warning: unused parameter 'nr'
