#3: LyX-labeled Mousepad
+**********************************************************************
+
BUGS:
-----
+GENERAL
+
+* Check FIXME, TODO, and #warning in the LyX code
+
+* Resolve compiler warnings
+
+
+FILE
+
+* 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)
+
+* 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.
+
+
SPELL CHECKING (Joost 4/11/06)
* Spell checking cannot be invoked a second time.
* The first time the spell checker is started, an empty window shown instead
of the first misspelled word.
+* Words with umlauts or accents do not arrive as a whole word in the spell
+ checker.
-TABLE OF CONTENTS
-
-* In the TOC dialog, switching between the different TOC types (TOC, Table,
- Float, etc.) is broken.
-
-* In the TOC dialog, the slider for altering the display level is
- non-functional (not implemented).
-
-* TOC crashes (simply make a few sections, subsections, sections; then add TOC
- before all sections and click on the left button)
-* Items in the TOC cannot be moved using drag & drop (Joost 4/11/06).
+TABLE OF CONTENTS
* In TOC, the buttons "Up", "Down", "Promote", and "Demote" are not
self-explaining. Why don't we group them in two pairs: Section Up/Down, Level
Up/Down? The arrangement of the buttons may also give some hint to the user.
+* The items in the treeview are editable
-DIALOGS
+* When content (sections/captions) is changed, the toc/lof/lot is not properly
+ updated.
+ Abdel 2006-11-17: This one is not as simple as it seems as it involves a
+ TocBackend update at each keystroke. Unless we manage to update a specific
+ TocItem, this will be a WONTFIX for 1.5.0.
-* 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.
-* If you open Edit>Test 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.
+DIALOGS
-* 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)
+* when opening an already opened document (or a document with newer backup),
+ the mouse pointer turns into a clock, although it waits for confirmation
+* 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.
-MATH CONTROL PANEL
-* In the math control panel, "Detach panel" is broken (only 1 button is
- visible in the detached panel).
+MATH CONTROL PANEL
* In the math control panel, switching between different "functions" is broken
(retry a couple of times).
* In the math control panel, there is no icon for "Set Math Font".
* In the math control panel, the buttons are too small.
-
-* 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"
+ The reason is probably that qt resizes the icons so that they fit into the
+ button, leaving some margin. This leads to different scales for each icon.
+ qt3 did not resize the icons. Can this be set in qt4, too?
OTHER PANELS
-* The visual table size selection on the the "Insert Table" dialog is gone
+* The visual table size selection on the the "Insert Table" dialog has gone
(Joost 3/11/06).
* The UI for bullet selection in the documents settings looks weird
There is a big listbox just to select one of the four levels.
Isn't this supposed to be a drop-down list or something like that?
+* The bullet selection widget shows the bullets in 5 columns (instead of 6)
+ for me, and hence does not fit into the window.
+ (JSpitzm 2006-11-06)
+
MULTIPLE WINDOWS / DOCUMENTS
2) the easy way: disable the cursor on focus out event and re-enable it at
focus in event and jump the saved position (at focus out).
-* The title bar does not contain the document name when a new window is opened
- (Joost 4/11/06).
-
* There should be a close button on the tabs (Joost 3/11/06).
+ There is now a Qt feature request:
+ http://www.trolltech.com/developer/task-tracker/index_html?id=137891&method=entry
-TOOLBARS
-
-* Toolbars always show on the top of the screen, even though they are set to
- "bottom" in the ui file (Joost 3/11/06).
+TOOLBARS & MINIBUFFER
* When toolbars are hidden, they pop up again after clicking on the document
area (Joost 4/11/06).
* 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).
+ (Joost 4/11/06). See also the math panel buttons entry above.
+
+* TODO toolbar popup menu, currently disabled (Peter 9/11/06)
EDITING
-* edit->text style->capitalize/lower/upper case doesn't work due to the change
+* edit->text style->capitalize/lower/upper case doesn't work due to change
tracking-related changes.
-* Copy/paste using middle mouse button inserts musical notes.
+CHANGE TRACKING
-MENUS
+* No change bar is given in LaTeX output if (only) the par break has changed
-* Some English menu items don't have a '&' character. (box, date, paste...)
+* In tables, cut & paste (complete cells) do not support change tracking
-* src/frontends/qt4/ui/QCitationUi.ui:70 "&Selected citations:" should be
- "&Selected Citations:".
+* When accepting or rejecting changes, paragraphs with deleted par breaks are
+ not merged in nested text insets
+* When accepting a change, LyX may hang (same as in 1.4.3)
-PAINING & PERFORMANCE
+* When running "find & replace", the cursor is not moved forward, such
+ that LyX always offers to replace the same string
-* Too much painting 1 (Edwin 3/11/2006): when i click in the workarea (to put
- the cursor in another part of the text) the screen is repainted *twice*
- whereas it seems to me that no repainting is necessary at all.
+
+LAYOUT
+
+* environments when using czech translation doesnt work: e.g.
+ itemize("Polozka") -> ERROR (layoutSelected): layout not found! (P. Sanda)
+
+
+PAINTING & PERFORMANCE
+
+* END_LABEL_* handling in RowPainer::paintLast() is broken. In regular text,
+ label boxes are not completely visible (because we shrinked the margin on
+ screen?). Inside of insets, they don't work at all. Should we remove this
+ feature completely as the overall benefit for the user is marginal?
* Too much painting 2 (Edwin 3/11/2006): There is also a lot of painting going
on when selecting text. When selecting a word the whole screen is repainted.
+ PARTLY FIXED (Abdel 2006-11-20): there's a full repaint only when the mouse is
+ released. More to come in this area.
+
+* Too much painting 1 (Edwin 3/11/2006): when i click in the workarea (to put
+ the cursor in another part of the text) the screen is repainted *twice*
+ whereas it seems to me that no repainting is necessary at all.
+ PARTLY FIXED (Abdel 2006-11-20): except for math insets.
* Too much painting 3 (Edwin 3/11/2006): the screen is repainted even when the
selection does not change (moving the mouse with the left button pushed down
always triggers a repaint).
+ PARTLY FIXED (Abdel 2006-11-20): When within the main text inset only the
+ current line is repainted.
-* Cursor is still not visible on MAC (Bennett 3/11/06).
+* The cursor is not L-shaped for foreign languages
* Slowness on MAC 1 (Bennett 3/11/06):
There seems to be a fraction of a second lag between when I press a key and
text appearing on screen. This does not seem to be compounded by having nested
insets, and it seems to be compounded only a little by the amount of text in
the inset. (This is especially a problem in math environments.)
+ PARTLY FIXED (Abdel 2006-11-20): except for math insets.
* Slowness on MAC 3 (Bennett 3/11/06): Some operations that with 1.4 are
pretty much instantaneous (inserting a footnote, dragging the mouse, switching
to LyX from another application, opening dialogs, etc.) take quite a long time
to complete in 1.5.
+* Some math symbols are not displayed (from Enrico Forestieri)
+ I noticed that some math symbols are not shown on screen. This seems
+ to be platform dependent. The following is a table illustrating the
+ situation on three different platforms. Here "no" means that the
+ symbol is not shown on screen (the symbol is invisible but occupies
+ space: it is as a sort of \phantom), and "yes" that it is shown.
+ ---------------------------------------
+ Symbol Linux Solaris Cygwin
+ ---------------------------------------
+ \Omega no no no
+ \int yes yes no
+ \oint yes yes no
+ \otimes no no no
+ \nleqslant no no no
+ \spadesuit(*) yes no yes
+ ---------------------------------------
+ (*) On solaris, a square is shown on screen instead of nothing.
+ Further comments from Georg: This is probably a qt4 font drawing problem,
+ since \Omega works fine in 1.4.3, and my debugging results showed that the
+ correct font is found and used (cmr10).
+
+
+BUILDING
+
+* 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.
-MAC OS X
-* Cursor is still not visible on MAC Bennett (3/11/06).
+MAC OS X
* Drawing oddities on MAC (Bennett 3/11/06):
Lines occasionally overlapping vertically, math characters not properly
keyboard command, not from the menu -- appears initially too small and must be
resized; not possible to select buttons with the keyboard).
+ The prefs dialog size should be better now. See below (JSpitzm-2006-11-07).
+
* Some oddities with View menu on MAC (Bennett 3/11/06): DVI does not appear
in the menu, even though a converter and viewer are defined in Preferences.
* Menu bar disappears on MAC (instead of being disabled) when dialogs appear.
-* 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.
* Mac Crash On quit (Bennett).
Here's the backtrace:
