-Rules:
-1. bugs that aim for 1.5.0 should be listed here.
-2. whoever fixes a bug sign his name before the bug and move it to the
-end of this file,
- along with a lyx-devel announcement.
-3. we need to figure out a price for the champion (and second place).
+Prizes (donated by Michael):

+ #3: LyX-labeled Mousepad
-BUGS:
-* Spell checking cannot be invoked a second time!
+**********************************************************************
-* In the TOC dialog, switching between the different TOC types (TOC,
-Table, Float, etc.) is broken
+GENERAL:
+--------
-* TOC crashes (simply make a few sections, subsections, sections; then
-add TOC before all sections and click on the left button)
+* Check FIXME, TODO, and #warning in the LyX code
-* If you open Document>Settings... for the first time,
-the dialog is much too small to show its content; if
-you invoke it the second time, everything is fine
+* Resolve compiler warnings
-* 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.
+* Watch for bugzilla.lyx.org entries
-* In the math control panel, "Detach panel" is broken
-(only 1 button is visible in the detached panel)
+ * Open bugs: http://tinyurl.com/2b9svn
-* In the math control panel, switching between different
-"functions" is broken (retry a couple of times)
+ (unconfirmed/new/assigned/reopened + no enhancement + no 1.6.0 target + not 'fixedintrunk')
-* edit->text style->capitalize/lower/upper case doesn't work
-due to the change tracking-related changes
+ * Uncommitted patches: http://tinyurl.com/uvxat
-* The multi-window thing is broken. When I switch windows I get crashes
-all the time.
+ (unconfirmed/new/assigned/reopened + no 1.6.0 target + keyword 'patch')
-* Spell checking is broken. The first time I run it an empty window is
-shown instead of the first misspelled word. After clicking a button I'm
-able to correct some words, but afterwards the spell checker will never
-run again.
-* Window positions are not remembered correctly. Each time I open a
-window again it has moved towards the bottom of the screen. Maybe the
-inner window position is applied to the outer window?

+* THE DAYS OF THIS FILE ARE COUNTED *
+*******************************************
-* The visual table size selection on the the "Insert Table" dialog is gone.
+CREDITS:
+--------
-* 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.
+* Performance on Windows is bad. On my system, scrolling the User Guide takes
+ 10 seconds with LyX 1.4 and more than 30 seconds with LyX 1.5.
-* Toolbars always show on the top of the screen, even though they are
-set to "bottom" in the ui file.
+ FIXED (Abdel 04/11/06): This was due to spurious message in QLPainter.C,
-* The initial size of Preferences window is too small. When I try to
-resize it the window jumps to the right size.
+* When I have the same document in two windows, only the last selected paragraph
+ in one of the windows gets updated.
-* There should be a close button on the tabs.
+ 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.
-* Polishing:
+* No icon for "note-next" in the "review" toolbar.
-- No icon for "note-next" in the "review" toolbar
+ ADDED (JSpitzm 2006-11-04).
-- 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.
+* Branches gui broken (buttons do nothing).
-- In the math control panel, there is no icon for
-"Set Math Font"
+ FIXED (JSpitzm 2006-11-04).
-- In the math control panel, the buttons are too small
+* The title bar does not contain the document name when a new window is opened
+ (Joost 4/11/06).
-- 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 (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.
-- some English menu items don't have a '&' character.
-(box,date,paste...)
+* src/frontends/qt4/ui/QCitationUi.ui:70 "&Selected citations:" should be
+ "&Selected Citations:".
-- 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)
-CREDITS:
+* 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)
-* Performance on Windows is bad. On my system, scrolling the User Guide
-takes 10 seconds with LyX 1.4 and more than 30 seconds with LyX 1.5.
-Although I have a modern computer, it all feels very slow.
+* 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).
-FIXED (Abdel 04/10/06): This was due to spurious message in QLPainter.C,
-I've put that in Debug::PAINTING, so 1.5 is faster than 1.4 on Windows XP
-on my 3 years old laptop (18s for the UserGuide test).
+* 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.
-* The multi-window thing is broken. When I have the same document in two
-windows, only the last selected paragraph in one of the windows gets
-updated.
+* 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 <TAB> to jump from
+ one field to another)
+ FIXED (JSpitzm 2006-12-18)
+
+* Mysterious *.po entry:
+
+ #: src/frontends/qt4/ui/QViewSourceUi.ui:31
+ msgid ""
+ "<html><head><meta name=\"qrichtext\" content=\"1\" /></head><body style=\" "
+ "white-space: pre-wrap; font-family:Sans Serif; font-size:13pt; font-"

+ "margin-right:0px; -qt-block-indent:0; text-indent:0px;\"></p></body></html>"
+ 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<char,struct std::char_traits<char>,class std::allocator<char> > &)
+ 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//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

+ 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.

+
+* 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:

+
+ * 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)

-FIXED (Abdel 04/10/06): This was due my singlePar optimization. With my
