16 **********************************************************************
23 * Check FIXME, TODO, and #warning in the LyX code
25 * Resolve compiler warnings
30 * When I "Save as..." in /tmp, I get a Backup error popup about non writable
31 /tmp, which is obviously not true. The file is there, and if I try to Save
32 as again, I get the overwrite popup warning twice: once in English, once
33 in French. (J. P. Chretien)
35 * Loading de_Userguide.lyx results in two parse errors:
36 Paragraph ended in line 21206
38 Paragraph ended in line 21301
40 I don't know if that is a lyx2lyx or LyX problem. LyX 1.4 can read the file.
43 SPELL CHECKING (Joost 4/11/06)
45 * Spell checking cannot be invoked a second time.
47 * The first time the spell checker is started, an empty window shown instead
48 of the first misspelled word.
50 * Words with umlauts or accents do not arrive as a whole word in the spell
56 * In TOC, the buttons "Up", "Down", "Promote", and "Demote" are not
57 self-explaining. Why don't we group them in two pairs: Section Up/Down, Level
58 Up/Down? The arrangement of the buttons may also give some hint to the user.
60 * The items in the treeview are editable
62 * When content (sections/captions) is changed, the toc/lof/lot is not properly
64 Abdel 2006-11-17: This one is not as simple as it seems as it involves a
65 TocBackend update at each keystroke. Unless we manage to update a specific
66 TocItem, this will be a WONTFIX for 1.5.0.
71 * when opening an already opened document (or a document with newer backup),
72 the mouse pointer turns into a clock, although it waits for confirmation
74 * If you try to view a document as postscript that cannot be typeset because
75 of LaTeX errors and export to LaTeX afterwards you will get the old error
76 list again, although the export succeded.
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 has 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)
139 * edit->text style->capitalize/lower/upper case doesn't work due to change
140 tracking-related changes.
145 * No change bar is given in LaTeX output if (only) the par break has changed
147 * In tables, cut & paste (complete cells) do not support change tracking
149 * When accepting or rejecting changes, paragraphs with deleted par breaks are
150 not merged in nested text insets
152 * When accepting a change, LyX may hang (same as in 1.4.3)
154 * When running "find & replace", the cursor is not moved forward, such
155 that LyX always offers to replace the same string
160 * environments when using czech translation doesnt work: e.g.
161 itemize("Polozka") -> ERROR (layoutSelected): layout not found! (P. Sanda)
164 PAINTING & PERFORMANCE
166 * END_LABEL_* handling in RowPainer::paintLast() is broken. In regular text,
167 label boxes are not completely visible (because we shrinked the margin on
168 screen?). Inside of insets, they don't work at all. Should we remove this
169 feature completely as the overall benefit for the user is marginal?
171 * Too much painting 2 (Edwin 3/11/2006): There is also a lot of painting going
172 on when selecting text. When selecting a word the whole screen is repainted.
173 PARTLY FIXED (Abdel 2006-11-20): there's a full repaint only when the mouse is
174 released. More to come in this area.
176 * Too much painting 1 (Edwin 3/11/2006): when i click in the workarea (to put
177 the cursor in another part of the text) the screen is repainted *twice*
178 whereas it seems to me that no repainting is necessary at all.
179 PARTLY FIXED (Abdel 2006-11-20): except for math insets.
181 * Too much painting 3 (Edwin 3/11/2006): the screen is repainted even when the
182 selection does not change (moving the mouse with the left button pushed down
183 always triggers a repaint).
184 PARTLY FIXED (Abdel 2006-11-20): When within the main text inset only the
185 current line is repainted.
187 * The cursor is not L-shaped for foreign languages
189 * Slowness on MAC 1 (Bennett 3/11/06):
190 There seems to be a fraction of a second lag between when I press a key and
191 when the letter appears on screen -- but the time lag doesn't obviously vary
192 with the amount of text on the screen (as was the case previously). Right now,
193 the speed of normal text entry makes LyX-1.5 usable on my
194 not-fast-but-still-not-outdated computer. (Not sure how it would be on my
195 slow-but-still-usable laptop.)
197 * Slowness on MAC 2 (Bennett 3/11/06):
198 Speed is still an issue typing in insets: noticeable lag between typing and
199 text appearing on screen. This does not seem to be compounded by having nested
200 insets, and it seems to be compounded only a little by the amount of text in
201 the inset. (This is especially a problem in math environments.)
202 PARTLY FIXED (Abdel 2006-11-20): except for math insets.
204 * Slowness on MAC 3 (Bennett 3/11/06): Some operations that with 1.4 are
205 pretty much instantaneous (inserting a footnote, dragging the mouse, switching
206 to LyX from another application, opening dialogs, etc.) take quite a long time
209 * Some math symbols are not displayed (from Enrico Forestieri)
210 I noticed that some math symbols are not shown on screen. This seems
211 to be platform dependent. The following is a table illustrating the
212 situation on three different platforms. Here "no" means that the
213 symbol is not shown on screen (the symbol is invisible but occupies
214 space: it is as a sort of \phantom), and "yes" that it is shown.
215 ---------------------------------------
216 Symbol Linux Solaris Cygwin
217 ---------------------------------------
223 \spadesuit(*) yes no yes
224 ---------------------------------------
225 (*) On solaris, a square is shown on screen instead of nothing.
226 Further comments from Georg: This is probably a qt4 font drawing problem,
227 since \Omega works fine in 1.4.3, and my debugging results showed that the
228 correct font is found and used (cmr10).
233 * It is ridiculous that you have to call configure with --with-frontend=qt4.
234 The existance of config/qt.m4 does not make much sense either.
239 * Drawing oddities on MAC (Bennett 3/11/06):
240 Lines occasionally overlapping vertically, math characters not properly
243 * Many issues with toolbars on MAC (Bennett 3/11/06):
244 Most obvious of which are that icons are spaced too widely and that changes in
245 the visibility of the toolbars with the GUI do not stick after the screen is
248 * Many issue with dialogs on MAC (Bennett 3/11/06):
249 Most obviously: the Preferences dialog -- which can only be accessed now via
250 keyboard command, not from the menu -- appears initially too small and must be
251 resized; not possible to select buttons with the keyboard).
253 The prefs dialog size should be better now. See below (JSpitzm-2006-11-07).
255 * Some oddities with View menu on MAC (Bennett 3/11/06): DVI does not appear
256 in the menu, even though a converter and viewer are defined in Preferences.
258 * Menu bar disappears on MAC (instead of being disabled) when dialogs appear.
261 * Mac Crash On quit (Bennett).

292 **********************************************************************
297 * Performance on Windows is bad. On my system, scrolling the User Guide takes
298 10 seconds with LyX 1.4 and more than 30 seconds with LyX 1.5.
300 FIXED (Abdel 04/11/06): This was due to spurious message in QLPainter.C,
302 * When I have the same document in two windows, only the last selected paragraph
303 in one of the windows gets updated.
305 FIXED (Abdel 04/11/06): This was due my singlePar optimization. With my last
306 commit, the optimization is enabled only if the WorkArea has the focus.
308 * No icon for "note-next" in the "review" toolbar.
310 ADDED (JSpitzm 2006-11-04).
312 * Branches gui broken (buttons do nothing).
314 FIXED (JSpitzm 2006-11-04).
316 * The title bar does not contain the document name when a new window is opened
319 FIXED (Abdel 05/11/06): This was due to "last_title" being a static variable
320 in LyXView::updateWindowTitle() and also due to a potential bug in Qt:
321 an update command to the window title seems to be ignored up until the window
324 * src/frontends/qt4/ui/QCitationUi.ui:70 "&Selected citations:" should be
325 "&Selected Citations:".
327 FIXED (MGerz 2006-11-05)
329 * In the "Math Delimiters" dialog, there is no need to repeat the term "Size"
330 for all values in the selection box; the label is already named "Size"
332 FIXED (MGerz 2006-11-05)
334 * If you open Document>Settings... or Tools>Preferences... for the first time,
335 the dialog is much too small to show its content; if you invoke it the second
336 time, everything is fine.
338 This happens with qt 4.2.1 only, it does not happen with 4.1.4/4.1.5!
340 FIXED (JSpitzm-2006-11-06): force updateGeometry() after the panelstack has
341 been created (with Qt >= 4.2 only). A brute method, but it works.
343 * If you open Edit>Test Style... for the first time, the choice text for
344 "Never Toggled>Size" doesn't fit in the selection box (note that in German,
345 texts are a bit longer than in English). Interestingly, if you invoke the
346 dialog a second time, its button sizes are adjusted to their content.
348 WONTFIX: This happens with qt >= 4.2 only, it does not happen with 4.1.4/4.1.5!
349 (or maybe try to add an updateGeometry() call somewhere as well; JSpitzm).
351 * All label and button texts in the Qt4 dialogs are not translated.
353 FIXED (MGerz 2006-11-07)
355 * Some English menu items don't have a '&' character. (box, date, paste...)
357 FIXED (MGerz 2006-11-07). I added shortcut whereever possible.
359 * When changing the toolbar settings in the right-button context menu of a
360 visible toolbar, the modified settings are not considered for session management
362 REPLACED with a new entry, popup disabled (Peter 2006-11-09)
364 * Toolbars always show on the top of the screen, even though they are set to
365 "bottom" in the ui file (Joost 3/11/06).
367 FIXED: use the defaul.ui value only when there is no valid position stored
368 (1st start of lyx) (Peter 7/11/2006)
370 * Window positions are not remembered correctly. Each time a window is openend
371 window again it has moved towards the bottom of the screen. (Joost 3/11/06)
373 FIXED (Peter 8/11/2006)
375 * Special handling of [[...]] in text messages is disabled in messages.C
376 FIXED (Georg 2006-11-12)
378 * broken signal/slot connection:
379 Object::connect: No such signal LengthCombo::selectionChanged(LyXLength::UNIT)
380 Object::connect: (sender name: 'unitCO')
381 Object::connect: (receiver name: 'QVSpaceUi')
383 FIXED (JSpitzm 2006-11-12)
385 * Cursor is still not visible on MAC Bennett (3/11/06).
386 FIXED (Abdel 2006-11-13)
388 * crash on Windows/Mac
390 2. insert List/TOC->Bibtex Bilio
391 3. add a bibliography
392 4. View Source ->crash
393 FIXED (Peter 2006-11-14)
395 * In the TOC dialog, switching between the different TOC types (TOC, Table,
396 Float, etc.) is broken.
399 * In the TOC dialog, the slider for altering the display level is
400 non-functional (not implemented).
401 FIXED (Ugras 2006-11-17)
403 * The correct list is not selected when right-clicking on a LOF or
405 FIXED (Ugras 2006-11-17)
407 * When selecting a type which *is* already selected, the content in the
408 browser window vanishes
409 FIXED (Ugras 2006-11-17)
411 * TOC crashes (simply make a few sections, subsections, sections; then add TOC
412 before all sections and click on the left button)
413 FIXED (Abdel, sometimes in november 2006).
415 * Items in the TOC cannot be moved using drag & drop (Joost 4/11/06).
416 WONTFIX (Abdel 2006-11-17): at least not for 1.5.0, this is just candy anyway.
418 * M-x is broken (does not bring up the minibuffer).
419 FIXED (Bo, 2006-11-18): set toolbar flag in display function.
421 * open a file; mark with the mouse and scroll; assert will fail:
422 FIXED (Abdel 2006-11-20): side effect of updateMetrics() cleanup.
424 * Selection highlighting is broken. Test case: two paragraphs with "Hello"
425 and "World"; move cursor past "Wor", press Shift+Up
426 FIXED (Abdel 2006-11-20): side effect of updateMetrics() cleanup.
428 * Mac Crash (Bennett 3/11/06):
429 On launch from GUI (by double-clicking on the LyX icon). As I reported before,
430 this happens only when using the GUI; I can successfully start LyX from the
431 Terminal, with or without gdb. Hence the only debug information I get is this,
432 printed out in Console.app when I try launching from the GUI (note that the
433 number changes everytime):
435 Wrong command line option `-psn_0_182321153'. Exiting.
437 Hint from Andreas Vox: LyX must accept any option starting with '-psn' and
438 pass it oon to the Qt initialisation. On Mac this gives the app a link to the
440 FIXED (Abdel 2006-11-25): Arguments are now passed to QApplication.
442 * In the math control panel, "Detach panel" is broken (only 1 button is
443 visible in the detached panel).
444 FIXED (Edwin/Ugras 2006-11-XX)
446 * Command completion in the minibuffer shows a huge blank area below the proposed
447 commands. Clicking in that empty area crashes LyX.
450 * Copy/paste using middle mouse button inserts musical notes.
451 FIXED (????; cannot reproduce on SuSE Linux 9.3)
453 * new document; insert note; place cursor in front of the note; activate change tracking;
454 press delete => assertion failed
457 * new document; insert note; insert "hello" into note; place the cursor at the beginning of the note;
458 activate change tracking; press backspace => seg fault
459 FIXED (Michael 2006-11-25)
