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 * Some oddities with View menu on MAC (Bennett 3/11/06): DVI does not appear
52 in the menu, even though a converter and viewer are defined in Preferences.
53 It turned out that this was a user error: a configuration file of 1.4 was
54 used without the document flag.
55 This should definitely be documented somewhere before the final release,
56 because many users will copy their old config files.
61 * environments when using czech translation doesnt work: e.g.
62 itemize("Polozka") -> ERROR (layoutSelected): layout not found! (P. Sanda)
65 PAINTING & PERFORMANCE
67 * END_LABEL_* handling in RowPainer::paintLast() is broken. In regular text,
68 label boxes are not completely visible (because we shrinked the margin on
69 screen?). Inside of insets, they don't work at all.
71 * Some math symbols are not displayed (from Enrico Forestieri)
72 I noticed that some math symbols are not shown on screen. This seems
73 to be platform dependent. The following is a table illustrating the
74 situation on three different platforms. Here "no" means that the
75 symbol is not shown on screen (the symbol is invisible but occupies
76 space: it is as a sort of \phantom), and "yes" that it is shown.
77 ---------------------------------------
78 Symbol Linux Solaris Cygwin
79 ---------------------------------------
85 \spadesuit(*) yes no yes
86 ---------------------------------------
87 (*) On solaris, a square is shown on screen instead of nothing.
88 - Further comments from Georg: This is probably a qt4 font drawing problem,
89 since \Omega works fine in 1.4.3, and my debugging results showed that the
90 correct font is found and used (cmr10).
91 - Solved problem with \int and \oint on Windows (Enrico 2006-12-06).
92 - On my linux box it looks a bit different: \int is shown if it was a \square,
93 bot about half as wide and in black instead of blue. For \Omega I see the
94 same as Enrico. (Georg 2007-01-18)
99 * There should be a close button on the tabs (Joost 3/11/06).
100 There is now a Qt feature request:
101 http://www.trolltech.com/developer/task-tracker/index_html?id=137891&method=entry
103 * TODO toolbar popup menu, currently disabled (Peter 9/11/06)
105 * When content (sections/captions) is changed, the toc/lof/lot is not properly
107 Abdel 2006-11-17: This one is not as simple as it seems as it involves a
108 TocBackend update at each keystroke. Unless we manage to update a specific
109 TocItem, this will be a WONTFIX for 1.5.0.
112 **********************************************************************
117 * Performance on Windows is bad. On my system, scrolling the User Guide takes
118 10 seconds with LyX 1.4 and more than 30 seconds with LyX 1.5.
120 FIXED (Abdel 04/11/06): This was due to spurious message in QLPainter.C,
122 * When I have the same document in two windows, only the last selected paragraph
123 in one of the windows gets updated.
125 FIXED (Abdel 04/11/06): This was due my singlePar optimization. With my last
126 commit, the optimization is enabled only if the WorkArea has the focus.
128 * No icon for "note-next" in the "review" toolbar.
130 ADDED (JSpitzm 2006-11-04).
132 * Branches gui broken (buttons do nothing).
134 FIXED (JSpitzm 2006-11-04).
136 * The title bar does not contain the document name when a new window is opened
139 FIXED (Abdel 05/11/06): This was due to "last_title" being a static variable
140 in LyXView::updateWindowTitle() and also due to a potential bug in Qt:
141 an update command to the window title seems to be ignored up until the window
144 * src/frontends/qt4/ui/QCitationUi.ui:70 "&Selected citations:" should be
145 "&Selected Citations:".
147 FIXED (MGerz 2006-11-05)
149 * In the "Math Delimiters" dialog, there is no need to repeat the term "Size"
150 for all values in the selection box; the label is already named "Size"
152 FIXED (MGerz 2006-11-05)
154 * If you open Document>Settings... or Tools>Preferences... for the first time,
155 the dialog is much too small to show its content; if you invoke it the second
156 time, everything is fine.
158 This happens with qt 4.2.1 only, it does not happen with 4.1.4/4.1.5!
160 FIXED (JSpitzm-2006-11-06): force updateGeometry() after the panelstack has
161 been created (with Qt >= 4.2 only). A brute method, but it works.
163 * All label and button texts in the Qt4 dialogs are not translated.
165 FIXED (MGerz 2006-11-07)
167 * Some English menu items don't have a '&' character. (box, date, paste...)
169 FIXED (MGerz 2006-11-07). I added shortcut whereever possible.
171 * When changing the toolbar settings in the right-button context menu of a
172 visible toolbar, the modified settings are not considered for session management
174 REPLACED with a new entry, popup disabled (Peter 2006-11-09)
176 * Toolbars always show on the top of the screen, even though they are set to
177 "bottom" in the ui file (Joost 3/11/06).
179 FIXED: use the defaul.ui value only when there is no valid position stored
180 (1st start of lyx) (Peter 7/11/2006)
182 * Window positions are not remembered correctly. Each time a window is openend
183 window again it has moved towards the bottom of the screen. (Joost 3/11/06)
185 FIXED (Peter 8/11/2006)
187 * Special handling of [[...]] in text messages is disabled in messages.C
188 FIXED (Georg 2006-11-12)
190 * broken signal/slot connection:
191 Object::connect: No such signal LengthCombo::selectionChanged(LyXLength::UNIT)
192 Object::connect: (sender name: 'unitCO')
193 Object::connect: (receiver name: 'QVSpaceUi')
195 FIXED (JSpitzm 2006-11-12)
197 * Cursor is still not visible on MAC Bennett (3/11/06).
198 FIXED (Abdel 2006-11-13)
200 * crash on Windows/Mac
202 2. insert List/TOC->Bibtex Bilio
203 3. add a bibliography
204 4. View Source ->crash
205 FIXED (Peter 2006-11-14)
207 * In the TOC dialog, switching between the different TOC types (TOC, Table,
208 Float, etc.) is broken.
211 * In the TOC dialog, the slider for altering the display level is
212 non-functional (not implemented).
213 FIXED (Ugras 2006-11-17)
215 * The correct list is not selected when right-clicking on a LOF or
217 FIXED (Ugras 2006-11-17)
219 * When selecting a type which *is* already selected, the content in the
220 browser window vanishes
221 FIXED (Ugras 2006-11-17)
223 * TOC crashes (simply make a few sections, subsections, sections; then add TOC
224 before all sections and click on the left button)
225 FIXED (Abdel, sometimes in november 2006).
227 * Items in the TOC cannot be moved using drag & drop (Joost 4/11/06).
228 WONTFIX (Abdel 2006-11-17): at least not for 1.5.0, this is just candy anyway.
230 * M-x is broken (does not bring up the minibuffer).
231 FIXED (Bo, 2006-11-18): set toolbar flag in display function.
233 * open a file; mark with the mouse and scroll; assert will fail:
234 FIXED (Abdel 2006-11-20): side effect of updateMetrics() cleanup.
236 * Selection highlighting is broken. Test case: two paragraphs with "Hello"
237 and "World"; move cursor past "Wor", press Shift+Up
238 FIXED (Abdel 2006-11-20): side effect of updateMetrics() cleanup.
240 * Mac Crash (Bennett 3/11/06):
241 On launch from GUI (by double-clicking on the LyX icon). As I reported before,
242 this happens only when using the GUI; I can successfully start LyX from the
243 Terminal, with or without gdb. Hence the only debug information I get is this,
244 printed out in Console.app when I try launching from the GUI (note that the
245 number changes everytime):
247 Wrong command line option `-psn_0_182321153'. Exiting.
249 Hint from Andreas Vox: LyX must accept any option starting with '-psn' and
250 pass it oon to the Qt initialisation. On Mac this gives the app a link to the
252 FIXED (Abdel 2006-11-25): Arguments are now passed to QApplication.
254 * In the math control panel, "Detach panel" is broken (only 1 button is
255 visible in the detached panel).
256 FIXED (Edwin/Ugras 2006-11-XX)
258 * Command completion in the minibuffer shows a huge blank area below the proposed
259 commands. Clicking in that empty area crashes LyX.
262 * Copy/paste using middle mouse button inserts musical notes.
263 FIXED (Abdel 2006-11): Confirmed by Michael who couldn't reproduce on SuSE Linux 9.3)
265 * new document; insert note; place cursor in front of the note; activate change tracking;
266 press delete => assertion failed
267 FIXED (JMarc 2006-11)
269 * new document; insert note; insert "hello" into note; place the cursor at the beginning of the note;
270 activate change tracking; press backspace => seg fault
271 FIXED (Michael 2006-11-25)
273 * Mac Crash On quit (Bennett).
274 FIXED (Peter 2006-11-20)
276 * Drawing oddities on MAC (Bennett 3/11/06):
277 Lines occasionally overlapping vertically, math characters not properly
279 FIXED (JMarc 2006-11).
281 * Icons in the toolbars do not have the correct size, they are stretched a few
282 pixels compared to 1.4. This makes the images look jagged and the initial
283 window size has also become to small to show the whole toolbar
284 (Joost 4/11/06). See also the math panel buttons entry above.
285 FIXED (Peter, 2006-11-28)
287 * The -geometry option doesn't work on Windows (it did in 1.4.x)
288 c:\> lyx-qt4.exe -geometry 800x600+100+30
289 Wrong command line option `-geometry'. Exiting.
290 FIXED (Peter, 2006-11-29)
292 * When I "Save as..." in /tmp, I get a Backup error popup about non writable
293 /tmp, which is obviously not true. The file is there, and if I try to Save
294 as again, I get the overwrite popup warning twice: once in English, once
295 in French. (J. P. Chretien)
296 FIXED (Michael (found the problem), Georg (fix), 2006-11-30)
298 * It is ridiculous that you have to call configure with --with-frontend=qt4.
299 The existance of config/qt.m4 does not make much sense either.
300 The first one is FIXED, the second WONTFIX (JMarc 07-12-2006)
302 * Open de_Intro.lyx => The footnote text in the title section exceeds the
304 FIXED (Enrico 2006-12-09). This was due to wrong metrics for small caps.
306 * Spell checking cannot be invoked a second time.
307 FIXED (Georg 2006-12-10). Abdel accidentally committed some test code in
308 revision 14970 which I reverted.
310 * The first time the spell checker is started, an empty window shown instead
311 of the first misspelled word.
312 FIXED (Georg 2006-12-10). This bug had the same resaon as the previous one.
314 * Create a new document; enter a few chars; press return; click on the previous paragraph
315 with mouse to change the focus: lyx crashes. (happens on Win XP SP2,
316 MSVC 2005 Prof., Scons)
317 FIXED (JSpitzm 2006-12-11)
319 * open lyx, create a new document, enter a few chars, quit, click cancel, lyx
321 FIXED (Enrico 2006-12-12)
323 * Non-ascii filenames do not work at all and result in an assertion or garbage.
324 FIXED (Georg 2006-12-12).
326 * LyX tries to delete /tmp if it is called with invalid arguments
327 FIXED (Enrico 2006-12-13)
329 * Start lyx, open a document, scroll down, open a new window, move
330 the cursor back, lyx crashes because par::rows() is cleared when the
331 new window is created.
332 FIXED (Bo 2006-12-13)
334 * Start lyx, open a doc, open another window for the same
335 document. Now, from window A, click at paragraph X, scroll down to paragraph Y,
336 switch to window B, click, switch back to window A. When mouse moves, editXY()
337 finds the correct pit for paragraph Y, when click, editXY() finds paragraph X
338 and scroll back to it. (Bo, 12/14/2006)
339 FIXED (Abdel 2006-12-15)
341 * In the citation dialog, the shortcut for "&Find" does not work
342 FIXED (JSpitzm 2006-12-17)
344 * Graphics dialog: The order of fields is broken (when using <TAB> to jump from
345 one field to another)
346 FIXED (JSpitzm 2006-12-18)
348 * Mysterious *.po entry:
350 #: src/frontends/qt4/ui/QViewSourceUi.ui:31
352 "<html><head><meta name=\"qrichtext\" content=\"1\" /></head><body style=\" "
353 "white-space: pre-wrap; font-family:Sans Serif; font-size:13pt; font-"
354 "weight:400; font-style:normal; text-decoration:none;\"><p style=\"-qt-"
355 "paragraph-type:empty; margin-top:0px; margin-bottom:0px; margin-left:0px; "
356 "margin-right:0px; -qt-block-indent:0; text-indent:0px;\"></p></body></html>"
358 FIXED (JSpitzm 2006-12-19)
360 * Loading de_Userguide.lyx results in two parse errors:
361 Paragraph ended in line 21206
363 Paragraph ended in line 21301
365 I don't know if that is a lyx2lyx or LyX problem. LyX 1.4 can read the file.
366 FIXED (Georg 2006-12-17). It turned out that it was a math parser problem
367 (bug 3034). It was introduced by the conversion of mathed to unicode,
368 because two methods Parser::tokenize() with different semantics existed.
370 * In the splash screen, the LyX version number is printed with a very, very
371 small font size such that it becomes almost invisible on Windows.
372 FIXED (Enrico 2006-12-21)
374 * Change Tools->Preferences->User interface->User interface to something like
375 "kornel.default.ui"; save prefs; exit LyX; restart LyX; => crash;
376 in the preferences file, there is an entry \bind_file "/Something/kornel.default"
378 In QPrefsDialog.C:1736, function PrefUserInterface::select_ui() calls
379 form_->controller().browseUI(qstring_to_ucs4(uiFileED->text())))
382 browseLibFile(lyx::from_ascii("ui"), file, lyx::from_ascii("ui"),
383 _("Choose UI file"), FileFilterList(_("LyX UI files (*.ui)")));
384 In this function, the extension is removed, because it is the default ("ui" in
385 this case). This behaviour applies to
386 ControlPrefs::browsebind, ControlPrefs::browseUI
387 ControlPrefs::browsekbmap, ControlPrefs::browsedict
388 Setting the default extension here to something invalid, is a hack, but works.
389 (Invalid may be e.g. "*")
390 FIXED (Enrico and Georg 2006-12-21)
392 * When loading a LyX file from a Windows directory with a German Umlaut, I get the
395 Assertion triggered in __thiscall lyx::support::FileName::FileName(const class
396 std::basic_string<char,struct std::char_traits<char>,class std::allocator<char> > &)
397 by failing check "empty() || absolutePath(name_)" in file C:\...\src\support\filename.C:47
399 If I rename the directory (no Umlaut), I can load the file without a problem.
400 FIXED (Enrico and Georg 2006-12-21)
402 * when opening an already opened document (or a document with newer backup),
403 the mouse pointer turns into a clock, although it waits for confirmation
404 FIXED (Enrico 2006-12-21)
406 * The style name in the BibTeX Bibliography panel (near the Browse... button)
407 disappears after closing and reopening the panel.
408 FIXED (Enrico 2006-12-22)
410 * Create a new document; enter a few chars; press return; from the
411 environments combo box on the top left corner select anything, e.g., 'Part';
412 try to enter text => you can't!
413 MG: This must be a GUI problem; when using keyboard shortcuts (Alt-P-...),
414 the problem does not occur; it does not matter whether the cursor is in the last line
415 JSpitzm: The problem is that the workarea doesn't get focus after the combo selection.
417 FIXED (Abdel 2006-12-24): centralWidget() was not the WorkArea due to the new TabBar
420 * On Windows (using scons/MSVC): Create an empty bibtex file, called
421 'lit.bib'. Create a new LyX document 'lit.lyx' in the same directory
422 that has a bibliography inset pointing to lit.bib.
423 Now, if lit.[lyx|bib] are stored in a path with ASCII characters only,
424 class FileName is used as follows:
425 FileName::FileName(string const &): C:/foo/lit.lyx.emergency
426 FileName::FileName(string const &): C:/foo/#lit.lyx#
427 FileName::FileName(string const &): C:/foo/
428 FileName::FileName(string const &): C:/foo/lit.bib
429 FileName::FileName(string const &): C:/lyx-trunk/build-msvc/bin

432 FileName::FileName(string const &): C:/foo//CVS/Entries
433 FileName::FileName(string const &): C:/foo/lit.lyx
434 However, if the path contains a German Umlaut ("bäh"), LyX crashes:
435 FileName::FileName(string const &): C:/bäh/lit.lyx.emergency
436 FileName::FileName(string const &): C:/bäh/#lit.lyx#
437 FileName::FileName(string const &): C:/bäh/

443 FIXED (Enrico (found problem) and Georg (fix) 2006-12-27)
445 * open a document full of marginal notes (other insets should also work),
446 select multiple insets from the begining twice, lyx crashed with
447 QLayout::addChildWidget: lyx::frontend::QCommandBuffer "" in wrong parent; moved to correct parent
448 Assertion triggered in void lyx::LyXText::dispatch(lyx::LCursor&, lyx::FuncRequest&) by failing check "cur.text() == this" in file src/text3.C:323
450 FIXED (Bo 2006-12-27)
452 * insert->note->lyx note, enter a few chars, collapse the note. Copy the note
453 several times (three lines?), use mouse to select. Lyx crashes with
454 Assertion triggered in void lyx::LyXText::dispatch(lyx::LCursor&, lyx::FuncRequest&) by failing check "cur.text() == this" in file src/text3.C:323
455 NOTE: this is unrelated to the button face-lift patch.
457 FIXED (Bo 2006-12-27)
459 * Open "de_Intro.lyx"; mark first word ("Einführung"); invoke "ert-insert" => seg fault
460 FIXED (Abdel 2006-30-12)
462 * The items in the treeview are editable
463 FIXED (Peter 2006-30-12)
465 * Open de_UserGuide.lyx; go to the end of the document; click into the footnote (with the mouse -
466 this is important for the test case); add a character into the note
467 => the complete footnote is expanded but only the current line is repainted
468 FIXED (Abdel 2006-12-29): following Paragraph and LyXText metrics cleanup.
470 * Spellchecker: The cursor does not go to the currently checked word (or
471 maybe it goes, but the screen is not updated so that one does not see the
472 word). http://bugzilla.lyx.org/show_bug.cgi?id=3064
473 FIXED (Abdel 2007-01-05):
475 * If you open Edit>Text Style... for the first time, the choice text for
476 "Never Toggled>Size" doesn't fit in the selection box (note that in German,
477 texts are a bit longer than in English). Interestingly, if you invoke the
478 dialog a second time, its button sizes are adjusted to their content.
479 This happens with qt >= 4.2 only, it does not happen with 4.1.4/4.1.5!
481 FIXED (2007-01-07 JSpitzm). I forgot to commit the ui changes last time.
483 * open an empty document; click on TOC (TOC dialog has no contents); touch TOC slider
486 FIXED (2007-01-07 JSpitzm). The slider is properly disabled now.
488 * If you open the graphics dialog for the first time, the "extra options"
489 tab is displayed. This is annyoing, of course the first tab with the
490 filename should be the default.
492 FIXED (2007-01-07 JSpitzm).
494 * Resolve compiler warnings
495 src/frontends/qt4/QPrefsDialog.C:944: warning: unused parameter 'nr'
496 FIXED (2007-01-07 Bo)
498 * Preview fails due to graphics converter bug:
500 File "C:/Dokumente und Einstellungen/itsme/Lokale Einstellungen/Temp/lyx_tmpdir1584a02224/lyxconvert0.py", line 14, in <module>
502 IOError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: 'C:/dokumente und einstellungen/itsme/Ver\xc3\xb6ffentlichungen/figures/myfigure.pdf'
504 There is a problem with a German Umlaut (ö= \xc3\xb6)
505 FIXED (Enrico 2007-01-08)
507 * open two documents with a toc (Intro, Tutorial), open TOC dialog,
508 click on a item, switch to the other doc without closing the TOC dialog,
509 click on the TOC button -> crash
510 FIXED (2007-01-19 Peter)
512 * If you try to view a document as postscript that cannot be typeset because
513 of LaTeX errors and export to LaTeX afterwards you will get the old error
514 list again, although the export succeded.
515 FIXED (2007-01-25 Abdel)
