19 SPELL CHECKING (Joost 4/11/06)
21 * Spell checking cannot be invoked a second time.
23 * The first time the spell checker is started, an empty window shown instead
24 of the first misspelled word.
29 * In the TOC dialog, switching between the different TOC types (TOC, Table,
30 Float, etc.) is broken.
32 * In the TOC dialog, the slider for altering the display level is
33 non-functional (not implemented).
35 * TOC crashes (simply make a few sections, subsections, sections; then add TOC
36 before all sections and click on the left button)
38 * Items in the TOC cannot be moved using drag & drop (Joost 4/11/06).
40 * In TOC, the buttons "Up", "Down", "Promote", and "Demote" are not
41 self-explaining. Why don't we group them in two pairs: Section Up/Down, Level
42 Up/Down? The arrangement of the buttons may also give some hint to the user.
47 * Window positions are not remembered correctly. Each time a window is openend
48 window again it has moved towards the bottom of the screen. (Joost 3/11/06)
53 * In the math control panel, "Detach panel" is broken (only 1 button is
54 visible in the detached panel).
56 * In the math control panel, switching between different "functions" is broken
57 (retry a couple of times).
59 * In the math control panel, there is no icon for "Set Math Font".
61 * In the math control panel, the buttons are too small.
66 * The visual table size selection on the the "Insert Table" dialog is gone
69 * The UI for bullet selection in the documents settings looks weird
71 There is a big listbox just to select one of the four levels.
72 Isn't this supposed to be a drop-down list or something like that?
74 * The bullet selection widget shows the bullets in 5 columns (instead of 6)
75 for me, and hence does not fit into the window.
79 MULTIPLE WINDOWS / DOCUMENTS
81 * There are cursor problems when the same document is opened in two windows
84 Information from Abdel:
85 Yes, this is the famous dEPM bug (delete Empty Paragraph Mechanism).
86 There are two ways to fix that:
87 1) the correct way: fix the dEPM to not invalidate the cursor.
88 2) the easy way: disable the cursor on focus out event and re-enable it at
89 focus in event and jump the saved position (at focus out).
91 * There should be a close button on the tabs (Joost 3/11/06).
92 There is now a Qt feature request:
93 http://www.trolltech.com/developer/task-tracker/index_html?id=137891&method=entry
98 * Toolbars always show on the top of the screen, even though they are set to
99 "bottom" in the ui file (Joost 3/11/06).
101 * When toolbars are hidden, they pop up again after clicking on the document
102 area (Joost 4/11/06).
104 * Icons in the toolbars do not have the correct size, they are stretched a few
105 pixels compared to 1.4. This makes the images look jagged and the initial
106 window size has also become to small to show the whole toolbar
109 * When changing the toolbar settings in the right-button context menu of a
110 visible toolbar, the modified settings are not considered for session management
112 * M-x is broken (does not bring up the minibuffer).
114 * Command completion in the minibuffer shows a huge blank area below the proposed
115 commands. Clicking in that empty area crashes LyX.
120 * edit->text style->capitalize/lower/upper case doesn't work due to the change
121 tracking-related changes.
123 * Copy/paste using middle mouse button inserts musical notes.
128 * Some English menu items don't have a '&' character. (box, date, paste...)
130 * All label and button texts in the Qt4 dialogs are not translated.
132 * Special handling of [[...]] in text messages is disabled in messages.C
135 PAINTING & PERFORMANCE
137 * Selection highlighting is broken. Test case: two paragraphs with "Hello"
138 and "World"; move cursor past "Wor", press Shift+Up
140 * Too much painting 1 (Edwin 3/11/2006): when i click in the workarea (to put
141 the cursor in another part of the text) the screen is repainted *twice*
142 whereas it seems to me that no repainting is necessary at all.
144 * Too much painting 2 (Edwin 3/11/2006): There is also a lot of painting going
145 on when selecting text. When selecting a word the whole screen is repainted.
147 * Too much painting 3 (Edwin 3/11/2006): the screen is repainted even when the
148 selection does not change (moving the mouse with the left button pushed down
149 always triggers a repaint).
151 * Cursor is still not visible on MAC (Bennett 3/11/06).
153 * Slowness on MAC 1 (Bennett 3/11/06):
154 There seems to be a fraction of a second lag between when I press a key and
155 when the letter appears on screen -- but the time lag doesn't obviously vary
156 with the amount of text on the screen (as was the case previously). Right now,
157 the speed of normal text entry makes LyX-1.5 usable on my
158 not-fast-but-still-not-outdated computer. (Not sure how it would be on my
159 slow-but-still-usable laptop.)
161 * Slowness on MAC 2 (Bennett 3/11/06):
162 Speed is still an issue typing in insets: noticeable lag between typing and
163 text appearing on screen. This does not seem to be compounded by having nested
164 insets, and it seems to be compounded only a little by the amount of text in
165 the inset. (This is especially a problem in math environments.)
167 * Slowness on MAC 3 (Bennett 3/11/06): Some operations that with 1.4 are
168 pretty much instantaneous (inserting a footnote, dragging the mouse, switching
169 to LyX from another application, opening dialogs, etc.) take quite a long time
175 * Cursor is still not visible on MAC Bennett (3/11/06).
177 * Drawing oddities on MAC (Bennett 3/11/06):
178 Lines occasionally overlapping vertically, math characters not properly
181 * Many issues with toolbars on MAC (Bennett 3/11/06):
182 Most obvious of which are that icons are spaced too widely and that changes in
183 the visibility of the toolbars with the GUI do not stick after the screen is
186 * Many issue with dialogs on MAC (Bennett 3/11/06):
187 Most obviously: the Preferences dialog -- which can only be accessed now via
188 keyboard command, not from the menu -- appears initially too small and must be
189 resized; not possible to select buttons with the keyboard).
191 The prefs dialog size should be better now. See below (JSpitzm-2006-11-07).
193 * Some oddities with View menu on MAC (Bennett 3/11/06): DVI does not appear
194 in the menu, even though a converter and viewer are defined in Preferences.
196 * Menu bar disappears on MAC (instead of being disabled) when dialogs appear.
198 * Mac Crash (Bennett 3/11/06):
199 On launch from GUI (by double-clicking on the LyX icon). As I reported before,
200 this happens only when using the GUI; I can successfully start LyX from the
201 Terminal, with or without gdb. Hence the only debug information I get is this,
202 printed out in Console.app when I try launching from the GUI (note that the
203 number changes everytime):
205 Wrong command line option `-psn_0_182321153'. Exiting.
207 Hint from Andreas Vox: LyX must accept any option starting with '-psn' and
208 pass it oon to the Qt initialisation. On Mac this gives the app a link to the
211 * Mac Crash On quit (Bennett).

245 * Performance on Windows is bad. On my system, scrolling the User Guide takes
246 10 seconds with LyX 1.4 and more than 30 seconds with LyX 1.5.
248 FIXED (Abdel 04/11/06): This was due to spurious message in QLPainter.C,
250 * When I have the same document in two windows, only the last selected paragraph
251 in one of the windows gets updated.
253 FIXED (Abdel 04/11/06): This was due my singlePar optimization. With my last
254 commit, the optimization is enabled only if the WorkArea has the focus.
256 * No icon for "note-next" in the "review" toolbar.
258 ADDED (JSpitzm 2006-11-04).
260 * Branches gui broken (buttons do nothing).
262 FIXED (JSpitzm 2006-11-04).
264 * The title bar does not contain the document name when a new window is opened
267 FIXED (Abdel 05/11/06): This was due to "last_title" being a static variable
268 in LyXView::updateWindowTitle() and also due to a potential bug in Qt:
269 an update command to the window title seems to be ignored up until the window
272 * src/frontends/qt4/ui/QCitationUi.ui:70 "&Selected citations:" should be
273 "&Selected Citations:".
275 FIXED (MGerz 2006-11-05)
277 * In the "Math Delimiters" dialog, there is no need to repeat the term "Size"
278 for all values in the selection box; the label is already named "Size"
280 FIXED (MGerz 2006-11-05)
282 * If you open Document>Settings... or Tools>Preferences... for the first time,
283 the dialog is much too small to show its content; if you invoke it the second
284 time, everything is fine.
286 This happens with qt 4.2.1 only, it does not happen with 4.1.4/4.1.5!
288 FIXED (JSpitzm-2006-11-06): force updateGeometry() after the panelstack has
289 been created (with Qt >= 4.2 only). A brute method, but it works.
291 * If you open Edit>Test Style... for the first time, the choice text for
292 "Never Toggled>Size" doesn't fit in the selection box (note that in German,
293 texts are a bit longer than in English). Interestingly, if you invoke the
294 dialog a second time, its button sizes are adjusted to their content.
296 WONTFIX: This happens with qt >= 4.2 only, it does not happen with 4.1.4/4.1.5!
297 (or maybe try to add an updateGeonetry() call somewhere as well; JSpitzm).
