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.
8 3. we need to figure out a price for the champion (and second place).
14 SPELL CHECKING (Joost 4/11/06)
16 * Spell checking cannot be invoked a second time.
18 * The first time the spell checker is started, an empty window shown instead
19 of the first misspelled word.
24 * In the TOC dialog, switching between the different TOC types (TOC, Table,
25 Float, etc.) is broken.
27 * In the TOC dialog, the slider for altering the display level is
28 non-functional (not implemented).
30 * TOC crashes (simply make a few sections, subsections, sections; then add TOC
31 before all sections and click on the left button)
33 * Items in the TOC cannot be moved using drag & drop (Joost 4/11/06).
35 * In TOC, the buttons "Up", "Down", "Promote", and "Demote" are not
36 self-explaining. Why don't we group them in two pairs: Section Up/Down, Level
37 Up/Down? The arrangement of the buttons may also give some hint to the user.
42 * If you open Document>Settings... or Tools>Preferences... for the first time,
43 the dialog is much too small to show its content; if you invoke it the second
44 time, everything is fine.
46 * If you open Edit>Test Style... for the first time, the choice text for
47 "Never Toggled>Size" doesn't fit in the selection box (note that in German,
48 texts are a bit longer than in English). Interestingly, if you invoke the
49 dialog a second time, its button sizes are adjusted to their content.
51 * Window positions are not remembered correctly. Each time a window is openend
52 window again it has moved towards the bottom of the screen. (Joost 3/11/06)
57 * In the math control panel, "Detach panel" is broken (only 1 button is
58 visible in the detached panel).
60 * In the math control panel, switching between different "functions" is broken
61 (retry a couple of times).
63 - In the math control panel, there is no icon for "Set Math Font".
65 - In the math control panel, the buttons are too small.
67 - In the "Math Delimiters" dialog, there is no need to repeat the term "Size"
68 for all values in the selection box; the label is already named "Size"
73 * The visual table size selection on the the "Insert Table" dialog is gone
76 * The UI for bullet selection in the documents settings looks weird
78 There is a big listbox just to select one of the four levels.
79 Isn't this supposed to be a drop-down list or something like that?
82 MULTIPLE WINDOWS / DOCUMENTS
84 * There are cursor problems when the same document is opened in two windows
87 Information from Abdel:
89 Yes, this is the famous dEPM bug (delete Empty Paragraph Mechanism).
90 There are two ways to fix that:
92 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 * The title bar does not contain the document name when a new window is opened
100 * There should be a close button on the tabs (Joost 3/11/06).
105 * Toolbars always show on the top of the screen, even though they are set to
106 "bottom" in the ui file (Joost 3/11/06).
108 * When toolbars are hidden, they pop up again after clicking on the document
109 area (Joost 4/11/06).
111 * Icons in the toolbars do not have the correct size, they are stretched a few
112 pixels compared to 1.4. This makes the images look jagged and the initial
113 window size has also become to small to show the whole toolbar
119 * edit->text style->capitalize/lower/upper case doesn't work due to the change
120 tracking-related changes.
125 * Some English menu items don't have a '&' character. (box, date, paste...)
127 - src/frontends/qt4/ui/QCitationUi.ui:70 "&Selected citations:" should be
128 "&Selected Citations:".
131 PAINING & PERFORMANCE
133 * Too much painting 1 (Edwin 3/11/2006): when i click in the workarea (to put
134 the cursor in another part of the text) the screen is repainted *twice*
135 whereas it seems to me that no repainting is necessary at all.
137 * Too much painting 2 (Edwin 3/11/2006): There is also a lot of painting going
138 on when selecting text. When selecting a word the whole screen is repainted.
140 * Too much painting 3 (Edwin 3/11/2006): the screen is repainted even when the
141 selection does not change (moving the mouse with the left button pushed down
142 always triggers a repaint).
144 * Slowness on MAC 1 (Bennett 3/11/06):
145 There seems to be a fraction of a second lag between when I press a key and
146 when the letter appears on screen -- but the time lag doesn't obviously vary
147 with the amount of text on the screen (as was the case previously). Right now,
148 the speed of normal text entry makes LyX-1.5 usable on my
149 not-fast-but-still-not-outdated computer. (Not sure how it would be on my
150 slow-but-still-usable laptop.)
152 * Slowness on MAC 2 (Bennett 3/11/06):
153 Speed is still an issue typing in insets: noticeable lag between typing and
154 text appearing on screen. This does not seem to be compounded by having nested
155 insets, and it seems to be compounded only a little by the amount of text in
157 especially a problem in math environments.)
159 * Slowness on MAC 3 (Bennett 3/11/06): Some operations that with 1.4 are
160 pretty much instantaneous (inserting a footnote, dragging the mouse, switching
161 to LyX from another application, opening dialogs, etc.) take quite a long time
167 * Cursor is still not visible on MAC Bennett (3/11/06).
169 * Drawing oddities on MAC (Bennett 3/11/06):
170 Lines occasionally overlapping vertically, math characters not properly
173 * Many issues with toolbars on MAC (Bennett 3/11/06):
174 Most obvious of which are that icons are spaced too widely and that changes in
175 the visibility of the toolbars with the GUI do not stick after the screen is
178 * Many issue with dialogs on MAC (Bennett 3/11/06):
179 Mmost obviously: the Preferences dialog -- which can only be accessed now via
180 keyboard command, not from the menu -- appears initially too small and must be
181 resized; not possible to select buttons with the keyboard).
183 * Some oddities with View menu on MAC (Bennett 3/11/06): DVI does not appear
184 in the menu, even though a converter and viewer are defined in Preferences.
186 * Menu bar disappears on MAC (instead of being disabled) when dialogs appear.
188 * Mac Crash (Bennett 3/11/06):
189 On launch from GUI (by double-clicking on the LyX icon). As I reported before,
190 this happens only when using the GUI; I can successfully start LyX from the
191 Terminal, with or without gdb. Hence the only debug information I get is this,
192 printed out in Console.app when I try launching from the GUI (note that the
193 number changes everytime):
195 Wrong command line option `-psn_0_182321153'. Exiting.
197 Hint from Andreas Vox: LyX must accept any option starting with '-psn' and
198 pass it oon to the Qt initialisation. On Mac this gives the app a link to the
201 * Mac Crash On quit (Bennett).

235 * Performance on Windows is bad. On my system, scrolling the User Guide takes
236 10 seconds with LyX 1.4 and more than 30 seconds with LyX 1.5. Although I have
237 a modern computer, it all feels very slow.
239 FIXED (Abdel 04/10/06): This was due to spurious message in QLPainter.C, I've
240 put that in Debug::PAINTING, so 1.5 is faster than 1.4 on Windows XP on my 3
241 years old laptop (18s for the UserGuide test).
243 * The multi-window thing is broken. When I have the same document in two
244 windows, only the last selected paragraph in one of the windows gets updated.
246 FIXED (Abdel 04/10/06): This was due my singlePar optimization. With my last
247 commit, the optimization is enabled only if the WorkArea has the focus.
249 * No icon for "note-next" in the "review" toolbar.
251 ADDED (JSpitzm 2006-11-04).
253 * Branches gui broken (buttons do nothing).
255 FIXED (JSpitzm 2006-11-04).
