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.
48 * In the TOC dialog, switching between the different TOC types (TOC, Table,
49 Float, etc.) is broken.
51 * In the TOC dialog, the slider for altering the display level is
52 non-functional (not implemented).
54 * TOC crashes (simply make a few sections, subsections, sections; then add TOC
55 before all sections and click on the left button)
57 * Items in the TOC cannot be moved using drag & drop (Joost 4/11/06).
59 * In TOC, the buttons "Up", "Down", "Promote", and "Demote" are not
60 self-explaining. Why don't we group them in two pairs: Section Up/Down, Level
61 Up/Down? The arrangement of the buttons may also give some hint to the user.
63 * The correct list is not selected when right-clicking on a LOF or
66 * When selecting a type which *is* already selected, the content in the
67 browser window vanishes
69 * The items in the treeview are editable
71 * When content (sections/captions) is changed, the toc/lof/lot is not properly
77 * when opening an already opened document (or a document with newer backup),
78 the mouse pointer turns into a clock, although it waits for confirmation
83 * In the math control panel, "Detach panel" is broken (only 1 button is
84 visible in the detached panel).
86 * In the math control panel, switching between different "functions" is broken
87 (retry a couple of times).
89 * In the math control panel, there is no icon for "Set Math Font".
91 * In the math control panel, the buttons are too small.
92 The reason is probably that qt resizes the icons so that they fit into the
93 button, leaving some margin. This leads to different scales for each icon.
94 qt3 did not resize the icons. Can this be set in qt4, too?
99 * The visual table size selection on the the "Insert Table" dialog is gone
102 * The UI for bullet selection in the documents settings looks weird
104 There is a big listbox just to select one of the four levels.
105 Isn't this supposed to be a drop-down list or something like that?
107 * The bullet selection widget shows the bullets in 5 columns (instead of 6)
108 for me, and hence does not fit into the window.
112 MULTIPLE WINDOWS / DOCUMENTS
114 * There are cursor problems when the same document is opened in two windows
117 Information from Abdel:
118 Yes, this is the famous dEPM bug (delete Empty Paragraph Mechanism).
119 There are two ways to fix that:
120 1) the correct way: fix the dEPM to not invalidate the cursor.
121 2) the easy way: disable the cursor on focus out event and re-enable it at
122 focus in event and jump the saved position (at focus out).
124 * There should be a close button on the tabs (Joost 3/11/06).
125 There is now a Qt feature request:

129 TOOLBARS & MINIBUFFER
131 * When toolbars are hidden, they pop up again after clicking on the document
132 area (Joost 4/11/06).
134 * Icons in the toolbars do not have the correct size, they are stretched a few
135 pixels compared to 1.4. This makes the images look jagged and the initial
136 window size has also become to small to show the whole toolbar
137 (Joost 4/11/06). See also the math panel buttons entry above.
139 * TODO toolbar popup menu, currently disabled (Peter 9/11/06)
141 * M-x is broken (does not bring up the minibuffer).
143 * Command completion in the minibuffer shows a huge blank area below the proposed
144 commands. Clicking in that empty area crashes LyX.
149 * edit->text style->capitalize/lower/upper case doesn't work due to the change
150 tracking-related changes.
152 * Copy/paste using middle mouse button inserts musical notes.
160 * environments when using czech translation doesnt work: e.g.
161 itemize("Polozka") -> ERROR (layoutSelected): layout not found! (P. Sanda)
164 PAINTING & PERFORMANCE
166 * Selection highlighting is broken. Test case: two paragraphs with "Hello"
167 and "World"; move cursor past "Wor", press Shift+Up
169 * Too much painting 1 (Edwin 3/11/2006): when i click in the workarea (to put
170 the cursor in another part of the text) the screen is repainted *twice*
171 whereas it seems to me that no repainting is necessary at all.
173 * Too much painting 2 (Edwin 3/11/2006): There is also a lot of painting going
174 on when selecting text. When selecting a word the whole screen is repainted.
176 * Too much painting 3 (Edwin 3/11/2006): the screen is repainted even when the
177 selection does not change (moving the mouse with the left button pushed down
178 always triggers a repaint).
180 * The cursor is not L-shaped for foreign languages
182 * Slowness on MAC 1 (Bennett 3/11/06):
183 There seems to be a fraction of a second lag between when I press a key and
184 when the letter appears on screen -- but the time lag doesn't obviously vary
185 with the amount of text on the screen (as was the case previously). Right now,
186 the speed of normal text entry makes LyX-1.5 usable on my
187 not-fast-but-still-not-outdated computer. (Not sure how it would be on my
188 slow-but-still-usable laptop.)
190 * Slowness on MAC 2 (Bennett 3/11/06):
191 Speed is still an issue typing in insets: noticeable lag between typing and
192 text appearing on screen. This does not seem to be compounded by having nested
193 insets, and it seems to be compounded only a little by the amount of text in
194 the inset. (This is especially a problem in math environments.)
196 * Slowness on MAC 3 (Bennett 3/11/06): Some operations that with 1.4 are
197 pretty much instantaneous (inserting a footnote, dragging the mouse, switching
198 to LyX from another application, opening dialogs, etc.) take quite a long time
204 * Drawing oddities on MAC (Bennett 3/11/06):
205 Lines occasionally overlapping vertically, math characters not properly
208 * Many issues with toolbars on MAC (Bennett 3/11/06):
209 Most obvious of which are that icons are spaced too widely and that changes in
210 the visibility of the toolbars with the GUI do not stick after the screen is
213 * Many issue with dialogs on MAC (Bennett 3/11/06):
214 Most obviously: the Preferences dialog -- which can only be accessed now via
215 keyboard command, not from the menu -- appears initially too small and must be
216 resized; not possible to select buttons with the keyboard).
218 The prefs dialog size should be better now. See below (JSpitzm-2006-11-07).
220 * Some oddities with View menu on MAC (Bennett 3/11/06): DVI does not appear
221 in the menu, even though a converter and viewer are defined in Preferences.
223 * Menu bar disappears on MAC (instead of being disabled) when dialogs appear.
225 * Mac Crash (Bennett 3/11/06):
226 On launch from GUI (by double-clicking on the LyX icon). As I reported before,
227 this happens only when using the GUI; I can successfully start LyX from the
228 Terminal, with or without gdb. Hence the only debug information I get is this,
229 printed out in Console.app when I try launching from the GUI (note that the
230 number changes everytime):
232 Wrong command line option `-psn_0_182321153'. Exiting.
234 Hint from Andreas Vox: LyX must accept any option starting with '-psn' and
235 pass it oon to the Qt initialisation. On Mac this gives the app a link to the
238 * Mac Crash On quit (Bennett).

272 * Performance on Windows is bad. On my system, scrolling the User Guide takes
273 10 seconds with LyX 1.4 and more than 30 seconds with LyX 1.5.
275 FIXED (Abdel 04/11/06): This was due to spurious message in QLPainter.C,
277 * When I have the same document in two windows, only the last selected paragraph
278 in one of the windows gets updated.
280 FIXED (Abdel 04/11/06): This was due my singlePar optimization. With my last
281 commit, the optimization is enabled only if the WorkArea has the focus.
283 * No icon for "note-next" in the "review" toolbar.
285 ADDED (JSpitzm 2006-11-04).
287 * Branches gui broken (buttons do nothing).
289 FIXED (JSpitzm 2006-11-04).
291 * The title bar does not contain the document name when a new window is opened
294 FIXED (Abdel 05/11/06): This was due to "last_title" being a static variable
295 in LyXView::updateWindowTitle() and also due to a potential bug in Qt:
296 an update command to the window title seems to be ignored up until the window
299 * src/frontends/qt4/ui/QCitationUi.ui:70 "&Selected citations:" should be
300 "&Selected Citations:".
302 FIXED (MGerz 2006-11-05)
304 * In the "Math Delimiters" dialog, there is no need to repeat the term "Size"
305 for all values in the selection box; the label is already named "Size"
307 FIXED (MGerz 2006-11-05)
309 * If you open Document>Settings... or Tools>Preferences... for the first time,
310 the dialog is much too small to show its content; if you invoke it the second
311 time, everything is fine.
313 This happens with qt 4.2.1 only, it does not happen with 4.1.4/4.1.5!
315 FIXED (JSpitzm-2006-11-06): force updateGeometry() after the panelstack has
316 been created (with Qt >= 4.2 only). A brute method, but it works.
318 * If you open Edit>Test Style... for the first time, the choice text for
319 "Never Toggled>Size" doesn't fit in the selection box (note that in German,
320 texts are a bit longer than in English). Interestingly, if you invoke the
321 dialog a second time, its button sizes are adjusted to their content.
323 WONTFIX: This happens with qt >= 4.2 only, it does not happen with 4.1.4/4.1.5!
324 (or maybe try to add an updateGeonetry() call somewhere as well; JSpitzm).
326 * All label and button texts in the Qt4 dialogs are not translated.
328 FIXED (MGerz 2006-11-07)
330 * Some English menu items don't have a '&' character. (box, date, paste...)
332 FIXED (MGerz 2006-11-07). I added shortcut whereever possible.
334 * When changing the toolbar settings in the right-button context menu of a
335 visible toolbar, the modified settings are not considered for session management
337 REPLACED with a new entry, popup disabled (Peter 2006-11-09)
339 * Toolbars always show on the top of the screen, even though they are set to
340 "bottom" in the ui file (Joost 3/11/06).
342 FIXED: use the defaul.ui value only when there is no valid position stored
343 (1st start of lyx) (Peter 7/11/2006)
345 * Window positions are not remembered correctly. Each time a window is openend
346 window again it has moved towards the bottom of the screen. (Joost 3/11/06)
348 FIXED (Peter 8/11/2006)
350 * Special handling of [[...]] in text messages is disabled in messages.C
351 FIXED (Georg 2006-11-12)
353 * broken signal/slot connection:
354 Object::connect: No such signal LengthCombo::selectionChanged(LyXLength::UNIT)
355 Object::connect: (sender name: 'unitCO')
356 Object::connect: (receiver name: 'QVSpaceUi')
358 FIXED (JSpitzm 2006-11-12)
360 * Cursor is still not visible on MAC Bennett (3/11/06).
361 FIXED (Abdel 2006-11-13)
