13 #3: LyX-labeled Mousepad
29 * When I "Save as..." in /tmp, I get a Backup error popup about non writable
30 /tmp, which is obviously not true. The file is there, and if I try to Save
31 as again, I get the overwrite popup warning twice: once in English, once
32 in French. (J. P. Chretien)
35 SPELL CHECKING (Joost 4/11/06)
37 * Spell checking cannot be invoked a second time.
39 * The first time the spell checker is started, an empty window shown instead
40 of the first misspelled word.
45 * In the TOC dialog, switching between the different TOC types (TOC, Table,
46 Float, etc.) is broken.
48 * In the TOC dialog, the slider for altering the display level is
49 non-functional (not implemented).
51 * TOC crashes (simply make a few sections, subsections, sections; then add TOC
52 before all sections and click on the left button)
54 * Items in the TOC cannot be moved using drag & drop (Joost 4/11/06).
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 correct list is not selected when right-clicking on a LOF or
63 - When selecting a type which *is* already selected, the content in the
64 browser window vanishes
66 - The items in the treeview are editable
68 - When content (sections/captions) is changed, the toc/lof/lot is not properly
74 * when opening an already opened document (or a document with newer backup),
75 the mouse pointer turns into a clock, although it waits for confirmation
80 * In the math control panel, "Detach panel" is broken (only 1 button is
81 visible in the detached panel).
83 * In the math control panel, switching between different "functions" is broken
84 (retry a couple of times).
86 * In the math control panel, there is no icon for "Set Math Font".
88 * In the math control panel, the buttons are too small.
89 The reason is probably that qt resizes the icons so that they fit into the
90 button, leaving some margin. This leads to different scales for each icon.
91 qt3 did not resize the icons. Can this be set in qt4, too?
96 * The visual table size selection on the the "Insert Table" dialog is gone
99 * The UI for bullet selection in the documents settings looks weird
101 There is a big listbox just to select one of the four levels.
102 Isn't this supposed to be a drop-down list or something like that?
104 * The bullet selection widget shows the bullets in 5 columns (instead of 6)
105 for me, and hence does not fit into the window.
109 MULTIPLE WINDOWS / DOCUMENTS
111 * There are cursor problems when the same document is opened in two windows
114 Information from Abdel:
115 Yes, this is the famous dEPM bug (delete Empty Paragraph Mechanism).
116 There are two ways to fix that:
117 1) the correct way: fix the dEPM to not invalidate the cursor.
118 2) the easy way: disable the cursor on focus out event and re-enable it at
119 focus in event and jump the saved position (at focus out).
121 * There should be a close button on the tabs (Joost 3/11/06).
122 There is now a Qt feature request:

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

273 * Performance on Windows is bad. On my system, scrolling the User Guide takes
274 10 seconds with LyX 1.4 and more than 30 seconds with LyX 1.5.
276 FIXED (Abdel 04/11/06): This was due to spurious message in QLPainter.C,
278 * When I have the same document in two windows, only the last selected paragraph
279 in one of the windows gets updated.
281 FIXED (Abdel 04/11/06): This was due my singlePar optimization. With my last
282 commit, the optimization is enabled only if the WorkArea has the focus.
284 * No icon for "note-next" in the "review" toolbar.
286 ADDED (JSpitzm 2006-11-04).
288 * Branches gui broken (buttons do nothing).
290 FIXED (JSpitzm 2006-11-04).
292 * The title bar does not contain the document name when a new window is opened
295 FIXED (Abdel 05/11/06): This was due to "last_title" being a static variable
296 in LyXView::updateWindowTitle() and also due to a potential bug in Qt:
297 an update command to the window title seems to be ignored up until the window
300 * src/frontends/qt4/ui/QCitationUi.ui:70 "&Selected citations:" should be
301 "&Selected Citations:".
303 FIXED (MGerz 2006-11-05)
305 * In the "Math Delimiters" dialog, there is no need to repeat the term "Size"
306 for all values in the selection box; the label is already named "Size"
308 FIXED (MGerz 2006-11-05)
310 * If you open Document>Settings... or Tools>Preferences... for the first time,
311 the dialog is much too small to show its content; if you invoke it the second
312 time, everything is fine.
314 This happens with qt 4.2.1 only, it does not happen with 4.1.4/4.1.5!
316 FIXED (JSpitzm-2006-11-06): force updateGeometry() after the panelstack has
317 been created (with Qt >= 4.2 only). A brute method, but it works.
319 * If you open Edit>Test Style... for the first time, the choice text for
320 "Never Toggled>Size" doesn't fit in the selection box (note that in German,
321 texts are a bit longer than in English). Interestingly, if you invoke the
322 dialog a second time, its button sizes are adjusted to their content.
324 WONTFIX: This happens with qt >= 4.2 only, it does not happen with 4.1.4/4.1.5!
325 (or maybe try to add an updateGeonetry() call somewhere as well; JSpitzm).
327 * All label and button texts in the Qt4 dialogs are not translated.
329 FIXED (MGerz 2006-11-07)
331 * Some English menu items don't have a '&' character. (box, date, paste...)
333 FIXED (MGerz 2006-11-07). I added shortcut whereever possible.
335 * When changing the toolbar settings in the right-button context menu of a
336 visible toolbar, the modified settings are not considered for session management
338 REPLACED with a new entry, popup disabled (Peter 2006-11-09)
340 * Toolbars always show on the top of the screen, even though they are set to
341 "bottom" in the ui file (Joost 3/11/06).
343 FIXED: use the defaul.ui value only when there is no valid position stored
344 (1st start of lyx) (Peter 7/11/2006)
346 * Window positions are not remembered correctly. Each time a window is openend
347 window again it has moved towards the bottom of the screen. (Joost 3/11/06)
349 FIXED (Peter 8/11/2006)
