On my system, scrolling the User Guide takes 10 seconds with LyX 1.4 and more than 30 seconds with LyX 1.5. FIXED (Abdel 04/11/06): This was due to spurious message in QLPainter.C, * When I have the same document in two windows, only the last selected paragraph in one of the windows gets updated. FIXED (Abdel 04/11/06): This was due my singlePar optimization. With my last commit, the optimization is enabled only if the WorkArea has the focus. * No icon for "note-next" in the "review" toolbar. ADDED (JSpitzm 2006-11-04). * Branches gui broken (buttons do nothing). FIXED (JSpitzm 2006-11-04). * The title bar does not contain the document name when a new window is opened (Joost 4/11/06). FIXED (Abdel 05/11/06): This was due to "last_title" being a static variable in LyXView::updateWindowTitle() and also due to a potential bug in Qt: an update command to the window title seems to be ignored up until the window is shown. * src/frontends/qt4/ui/QCitationUi.ui:70 "&Selected citations:" should be "&Selected Citations:". FIXED (MGerz 2006-11-05) * In the "Math Delimiters" dialog, there is no need to repeat the term "Size" for all values in the selection box; the label is already named "Size" FIXED (MGerz 2006-11-05) * If you open Document>Settings... or Tools>Preferences... for the first time, the dialog is much too small to show its content; if you invoke it the second time, everything is fine. This happens with qt 4.2.1 only, it does not happen with 4.1.4/4.1.5! FIXED (JSpitzm-2006-11-06): force updateGeometry() after the panelstack has been created (with Qt >= 4.2 only). A brute method, but it works. * All label and button texts in the Qt4 dialogs are not translated. FIXED (MGerz 2006-11-07) * Some English menu items don't have a '&' character. (box, date, paste...) FIXED (MGerz 2006-11-07). I added shortcut whereever possible. * When changing the toolbar settings in the right-button context menu of a visible toolbar, the modified settings are not considered for session management REPLACED with a new entry, popup disabled (Peter 2006-11-09) * Toolbars always show on the top of the screen, even though they are set to "bottom" in the ui file (Joost 3/11/06). FIXED: use the defaul.ui value only when there is no valid position stored (1st start of lyx) (Peter 7/11/2006) * Window positions are not remembered correctly. Each time a window is openend window again it has moved towards the bottom of the screen. (Joost 3/11/06) FIXED (Peter 8/11/2006) * Special handling of [[...]] in text messages is disabled in messages.C FIXED (Georg 2006-11-12) * broken signal/slot connection: Object::connect: No such signal LengthCombo::selectionChanged(LyXLength::UNIT) Object::connect: (sender name: 'unitCO') Object::connect: (receiver name: 'QVSpaceUi') FIXED (JSpitzm 2006-11-12) * Cursor is still not visible on MAC Bennett (3/11/06). FIXED (Abdel 2006-11-13) * crash on Windows/Mac 1. new document 2. insert List/TOC->Bibtex Bilio 3. add a bibliography 4. View Source ->crash FIXED (Peter 2006-11-14) * In the TOC dialog, switching between the different TOC types (TOC, Table, Float, etc.) is broken. FIXED (Ugras) * In the TOC dialog, the slider for altering the display level is non-functional (not implemented). FIXED (Ugras 2006-11-17) * The correct list is not selected when right-clicking on a LOF or LOT inset. FIXED (Ugras 2006-11-17) * When selecting a type which *is* already selected, the content in the browser window vanishes FIXED (Ugras 2006-11-17) * TOC crashes (simply make a few sections, subsections, sections; then add TOC before all sections and click on the left button) FIXED (Abdel, sometimes in november 2006). * Items in the TOC cannot be moved using drag & drop (Joost 4/11/06). WONTFIX (Abdel 2006-11-17): at least not for 1.5.0, this is just candy anyway. * M-x is broken (does not bring up the minibuffer). FIXED (Bo, 2006-11-18): set toolbar flag in display function. * open a file; mark with the mouse and scroll; assert will fail: FIXED (Abdel 2006-11-20): side effect of updateMetrics() cleanup. * Selection highlighting is broken. Test case: two paragraphs with "Hello" and "World"; move cursor past "Wor", press Shift+Up FIXED (Abdel 2006-11-20): side effect of updateMetrics() cleanup. * Mac Crash (Bennett 3/11/06): On launch from GUI (by double-clicking on the LyX icon). As I reported before, this happens only when using the GUI; I can successfully start LyX from the Terminal, with or without gdb. Hence the only debug information I get is this, printed out in Console.app when I try launching from the GUI (note that the number changes everytime): Wrong command line option `-psn_0_182321153'. Exiting. Hint from Andreas Vox: LyX must accept any option starting with '-psn' and pass it oon to the Qt initialisation. On Mac this gives the app a link to the Window system. FIXED (Abdel 2006-11-25): Arguments are now passed to QApplication. * In the math control panel, "Detach panel" is broken (only 1 button is visible in the detached panel). FIXED (Edwin/Ugras 2006-11-XX) * Command completion in the minibuffer shows a huge blank area below the proposed commands. Clicking in that empty area crashes LyX. FIXED (????) * Copy/paste using middle mouse button inserts musical notes. FIXED (Abdel 2006-11): Confirmed by Michael who couldn't reproduce on SuSE Linux 9.3) * new document; insert note; place cursor in front of the note; activate change tracking; press delete => assertion failed FIXED (JMarc 2006-11) * new document; insert note; insert "hello" into note; place the cursor at the beginning of the note; activate change tracking; press backspace => seg fault FIXED (Michael 2006-11-25) * Mac Crash On quit (Bennett). FIXED (Peter 2006-11-20) * Drawing oddities on MAC (Bennett 3/11/06): Lines occasionally overlapping vertically, math characters not properly aligned vertically. FIXED (JMarc 2006-11). * Icons in the toolbars do not have the correct size, they are stretched a few pixels compared to 1.4. This makes the images look jagged and the initial window size has also become to small to show the whole toolbar (Joost 4/11/06). See also the math panel buttons entry above. FIXED (Peter, 2006-11-28) * The -geometry option doesn't work on Windows (it did in 1.4.x) c:\> lyx-qt4.exe -geometry 800x600+100+30 Wrong command line option `-geometry'. Exiting. FIXED (Peter, 2006-11-29) * When I "Save as..." in /tmp, I get a Backup error popup about non writable /tmp, which is obviously not true. The file is there, and if I try to Save as again, I get the overwrite popup warning twice: once in English, once in French. (J. P. Chretien) FIXED (Michael (found the problem), Georg (fix), 2006-11-30) * It is ridiculous that you have to call configure with --with-frontend=qt4. The existance of config/qt.m4 does not make much sense either. The first one is FIXED, the second WONTFIX (JMarc 07-12-2006) * Open de_Intro.lyx => The footnote text in the title section exceeds the footnote frame FIXED (Enrico 2006-12-09). This was due to wrong metrics for small caps. * Spell checking cannot be invoked a second time. FIXED (Georg 2006-12-10). Abdel accidentally committed some test code in revision 14970 which I reverted. * The first time the spell checker is started, an empty window shown instead of the first misspelled word. FIXED (Georg 2006-12-10). This bug had the same resaon as the previous one. * Create a new document; enter a few chars; press return; click on the previous paragraph with mouse to change the focus: lyx crashes. (happens on Win XP SP2, MSVC 2005 Prof., Scons) FIXED (JSpitzm 2006-12-11) * open lyx, create a new document, enter a few chars, quit, click cancel, lyx still quits. FIXED (Enrico 2006-12-12) * Non-ascii filenames do not work at all and result in an assertion or garbage. FIXED (Georg 2006-12-12). * LyX tries to delete /tmp if it is called with invalid arguments FIXED (Enrico 2006-12-13) * Start lyx, open a document, scroll down, open a new window, move the cursor back, lyx crashes because par::rows() is cleared when the new window is created. FIXED (Bo 2006-12-13) * Start lyx, open a doc, open another window for the same document. Now, from window A, click at paragraph X, scroll down to paragraph Y, switch to window B, click, switch back to window A. When mouse moves, editXY() finds the correct pit for paragraph Y, when click, editXY() finds paragraph X and scroll back to it. (Bo, 12/14/2006) FIXED (Abdel 2006-12-15) * In the citation dialog, the shortcut for "&Find" does not work FIXED (JSpitzm 2006-12-17) * Graphics dialog: The order of fields is broken (when using to jump from one field to another) FIXED (JSpitzm 2006-12-18) * Mysterious *.po entry: #: src/frontends/qt4/ui/QViewSourceUi.ui:31 msgid "" "

" msgstr "" FIXED (JSpitzm 2006-12-19) * Loading de_Userguide.lyx results in two parse errors: Paragraph ended in line 21206 Missing \end_layout. Paragraph ended in line 21301 Missing \end_layout. I don't know if that is a lyx2lyx or LyX problem. LyX 1.4 can read the file. FIXED (Georg 2006-12-17). It turned out that it was a math parser problem (bug 3034). It was introduced by the conversion of mathed to unicode, because two methods Parser::tokenize() with different semantics existed. * In the splash screen, the LyX version number is printed with a very, very small font size such that it becomes almost invisible on Windows. FIXED (Enrico 2006-12-21) * Change Tools->Preferences->User interface->User interface to something like "kornel.default.ui"; save prefs; exit LyX; restart LyX; => crash; in the preferences file, there is an entry \bind_file "/Something/kornel.default" In QPrefsDialog.C:1736, function PrefUserInterface::select_ui() calls form_->controller().browseUI(qstring_to_ucs4(uiFileED->text()))) which in turn calls ControlPrefs.C:118 browseLibFile(lyx::from_ascii("ui"), file, lyx::from_ascii("ui"), _("Choose UI file"), FileFilterList(_("LyX UI files (*.ui)"))); In this function, the extension is removed, because it is the default ("ui" in this case). This behaviour applies to ControlPrefs::browsebind, ControlPrefs::browseUI ControlPrefs::browsekbmap, ControlPrefs::browsedict Setting the default extension here to something invalid, is a hack, but works. (Invalid may be e.g. "*") FIXED (Enrico and Georg 2006-12-21) * When loading a LyX file from a Windows directory with a German Umlaut, I get the following error: Assertion triggered in __thiscall lyx::support::FileName::FileName(const class std::basic_string,class std::allocator > &) by failing check "empty() || absolutePath(name_)" in file C:\...\src\support\filename.C:47 If I rename the directory (no Umlaut), I can load the file without a problem. FIXED (Enrico and Georg 2006-12-21) * when opening an already opened document (or a document with newer backup), the mouse pointer turns into a clock, although it waits for confirmation FIXED (Enrico 2006-12-21) * The style name in the BibTeX Bibliography panel (near the Browse... button) disappears after closing and reopening the panel. FIXED (Enrico 2006-12-22) * Create a new document; enter a few chars; press return; from the environments combo box on the top left corner select anything, e.g., 'Part'; try to enter text => you can't! MG: This must be a GUI problem; when using keyboard shortcuts (Alt-P-...), the problem does not occur; it does not matter whether the cursor is in the last line JSpitzm: The problem is that the workarea doesn't get focus after the combo selection. FIXED (Abdel 2006-12-24): centralWidget() was not the WorkArea due to the new TabBar support. * On Windows (using scons/MSVC): Create an empty bibtex file, called 'lit.bib'. Create a new LyX document 'lit.lyx' in the same directory that has a bibliography inset pointing to lit.bib. Now, if lit.[lyx|bib] are stored in a path with ASCII characters only, class FileName is used as follows: FileName::FileName(string const &): C:/foo/lit.lyx.emergency FileName::FileName(string const &): C:/foo/#lit.lyx# FileName::FileName(string const &): C:/foo/ FileName::FileName(string const &): C:/foo/lit.bib FileName::FileName(string const &): C:/lyx-trunk/build-msvc/bin FileName::FileName(string const &): C:/foo/lit.lyx,v FileName::FileName(string const &): C:/foo/RCS/lit.lyx,v FileName::FileName(string const &): C:/foo//CVS/Entries FileName::FileName(string const &): C:/foo/lit.lyx However, if the path contains a German Umlaut ("bäh"), LyX crashes: FileName::FileName(string const &): C:/bäh/lit.lyx.emergency FileName::FileName(string const &): C:/bäh/#lit.lyx# FileName::FileName(string const &): C:/bäh/ FileName::FileName(string const &): C:/bäh/lit.bib FileName::FileName(string const &): lit.bib Assertion triggered in __thiscall lyx::support::FileName::FileName(const class std::basic_string,class std::allocator > &) by failing check "empty() || absolutePath(name_)" in fil e C:\cygwin\home\ms\lyx-trunk\src\support\filename.C:48 Odd, isn't it? FIXED (Enrico (found problem) and Georg (fix) 2006-12-27) * open a document full of marginal notes (other insets should also work), select multiple insets from the begining twice, lyx crashed with QLayout::addChildWidget: lyx::frontend::QCommandBuffer "" in wrong parent; moved to correct parent Assertion triggered in void lyx::LyXText::dispatch(lyx::LCursor&, lyx::FuncRequest&) by failing check "cur.text() == this" in file src/text3.C:323 Abort FIXED (Bo 2006-12-27) * insert->note->lyx note, enter a few chars, collapse the note. Copy the note several times (three lines?), use mouse to select. Lyx crashes with Assertion triggered in void lyx::LyXText::dispatch(lyx::LCursor&, lyx::FuncRequest&) by failing check "cur.text() == this" in file src/text3.C:323 NOTE: this is unrelated to the button face-lift patch. FIXED (Bo 2006-12-27) * Open "de_Intro.lyx"; mark first word ("Einführung"); invoke "ert-insert" => seg fault FIXED (Abdel 2006-30-12) * The items in the treeview are editable FIXED (Peter 2006-30-12) * Open de_UserGuide.lyx; go to the end of the document; click into the footnote (with the mouse - this is important for the test case); add a character into the note => the complete footnote is expanded but only the current line is repainted FIXED (Abdel 2006-12-29): following Paragraph and LyXText metrics cleanup. * Spellchecker: The cursor does not go to the currently checked word (or maybe it goes, but the screen is not updated so that one does not see the word). http://bugzilla.lyx.org/show_bug.cgi?id=3064 FIXED (Abdel 2007-01-05): * If you open Edit>Text Style... for the first time, the choice text for "Never Toggled>Size" doesn't fit in the selection box (note that in German, texts are a bit longer than in English). Interestingly, if you invoke the dialog a second time, its button sizes are adjusted to their content. This happens with qt >= 4.2 only, it does not happen with 4.1.4/4.1.5! FIXED (2007-01-07 JSpitzm). I forgot to commit the ui changes last time. * open an empty document; click on TOC (TOC dialog has no contents); touch TOC slider => seg fault FIXED (2007-01-07 JSpitzm). The slider is properly disabled now. * If you open the graphics dialog for the first time, the "extra options" tab is displayed. This is annyoing, of course the first tab with the filename should be the default. FIXED (2007-01-07 JSpitzm). * Resolve compiler warnings src/frontends/qt4/QPrefsDialog.C:944: warning: unused parameter 'nr' FIXED (2007-01-07 Bo) * Preview fails due to graphics converter bug: File "C:/Dokumente und Einstellungen/itsme/Lokale Einstellungen/Temp/lyx_tmpdir1584a02224/lyxconvert0.py", line 14, in ... IOError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: 'C:/dokumente und einstellungen/itsme/Ver\xc3\xb6ffentlichungen/figures/myfigure.pdf' There is a problem with a German Umlaut (ö= \xc3\xb6) FIXED (Enrico 2007-01-08) * open two documents with a toc (Intro, Tutorial), open TOC dialog, click on a item, switch to the other doc without closing the TOC dialog, click on the TOC button -> crash FIXED (2007-01-19 Peter) * If you try to view a document as postscript that cannot be typeset because of LaTeX errors and export to LaTeX afterwards you will get the old error list again, although the export succeded. FIXED (2007-01-25 Abdel)
