#3: LyX-labeled Mousepad
-PENDING FEATURES:
------------------
-
+**********************************************************************
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)
+* LyX tries to delete /tmp if it is called with invalid arguments
* Loading de_Userguide.lyx results in two parse errors:
Paragraph ended in line 21206
Missing \end_layout.
I don't know if that is a lyx2lyx or LyX problem. LyX 1.4 can read the file.
+* Non-ascii filenames do not work at all and result in an assertion or garbage.
+
+* open lyx, create a new document, enter a few chars, quit, click cancel, lyx
+ still quits.
+
+* 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. "*")
+
SPELL CHECKING (Joost 4/11/06)
* The first time the spell checker is started, an empty window shown instead
of the first misspelled word.
-
-BIBLIOGRAPHY
-
-* crash on Windows/Mac
- 1. new document
- 2. insert List/TOC->Bibtex Bilio
- 3. add a bibliography
- 4. View Source ->crash
+* 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).
-
* 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 correct list is not selected when right-clicking on a LOF or
- LOT inset.
-
-* When selecting a type which *is* already selected, the content in the
- browser window vanishes
-
* The items in the treeview are editable
-* When content (sections/captions) is changed, the toc/lof/lot is not properly
- updated.
-
DIALOGS
* 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).
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
for me, and hence does not fit into the window.
(JSpitzm 2006-11-06)
+* The style name in the BibTeX Bibliography panel (near the Browse... button)
+ disappears after closing and reopening the panel.
+ (Enrico 2006-12-01)
+
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).
-* 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 & MINIBUFFER
* When toolbars are hidden, they pop up again after clicking on the document
area (Joost 4/11/06).
+ Comment by Bo: Can not reproduce, details please.
-* 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.
-
-* TODO toolbar popup menu, currently disabled (Peter 9/11/06)
+* Toolbar tooltips are no longer shown
-* M-x is broken (does not bring up the minibuffer).
-* Command completion in the minibuffer shows a huge blank area below the proposed
- commands. Clicking in that empty area crashes LyX.
+MENUS
+
+* 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.
+ It turned out that this was a user error: a configuration file of 1.4 was
+ used without the document flag.
+ This should definitely be documented somewhere before the final release,
+ because many users will copy their old config files.
+
+* Tooltips for fields are no longer shown
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.
+* 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:143
+ NOTE: this is unrelated to the button face-lift patch.
-MENUS
+CHANGE TRACKING
+
+* No change bar is given in LaTeX output if (only) the par break has changed
+
+* In tables, cut & paste (complete cells) do not support change tracking
+
+* 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)
+
+* When running "find & replace", the cursor is not moved forward, such
+ that LyX always offers to replace the same string
LAYOUT
PAINTING & PERFORMANCE
-* Selection highlighting is broken. Test case: two paragraphs with "Hello"
- and "World"; move cursor past "Wor", press Shift+Up
+* 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.
-* 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.
+* 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.
* 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.
* The cursor is not L-shaped for foreign languages
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).
+ - Solved problem with \int and \oint on Windows (Enrico 2006-12-06).
-MAC OS X
-* Drawing oddities on MAC (Bennett 3/11/06):
- Lines occasionally overlapping vertically, math characters not properly
- aligned vertically.
+
+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
* Many issues with toolbars on MAC (Bennett 3/11/06):
Most obvious of which are that icons are spaced too widely and that changes in
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.
+WONT FIX (for 1.5.0)
-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.
+* 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
-* Mac Crash On quit (Bennett).
