BUGS:
+-----
+
+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.
+
+
+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.
+
+
+DIALOGS
+
+* 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.
+
+* 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)
+
+
+MATH CONTROL PANEL
+
+* In the math control panel, "Detach panel" is broken (only 1 button is
+ visible in the detached 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"
-* Spell checking cannot be invoked a second time!
-* In the TOC dialog, switching between the different TOC types (TOC,
-Table, Float, etc.) is broken
+OTHER PANELS
-* TOC crashes (simply make a few sections, subsections, sections; then
-add TOC before all sections and click on the left button)
+* The visual table size selection on the the "Insert Table" dialog is gone
+ (Joost 3/11/06).
-* 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
+* The UI for bullet selection in the documents settings looks weird
+ (Joost 4/11/06):
+ 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?
-* 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.
-* In the math control panel, "Detach panel" is broken
-(only 1 button is visible in the detached panel)
+MULTIPLE WINDOWS / DOCUMENTS
-* In the math control panel, switching between different
-"functions" is broken (retry a couple of times)
+* There are cursor problems when the same document is opened in two windows
+ (Joost 4/11/06).
-* edit->text style->capitalize/lower/upper case doesn't work
-due to the change tracking-related changes
+ Information from Abdel:
+ Yes, this is the famous dEPM bug (delete Empty Paragraph Mechanism).
+ There are two ways to fix that:
+ 1) the correct way: fix the dEPM to not invalidate the cursor.
+ 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 multi-window thing is broken. When I switch windows I get crashes
-all the time.
+* There should be a close button on the tabs (Joost 3/11/06).
-* 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?
+TOOLBARS
-* The visual table size selection on the the "Insert Table" dialog is gone.
+* Toolbars always show on the top of the screen, even though they are set to
+ "bottom" in the ui file (Joost 3/11/06).
-* 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.
+* When toolbars are hidden, they pop up again after clicking on the document
+ area (Joost 4/11/06).
-* Toolbars always show on the top of the screen, even though they are
-set to "bottom" in the ui file.
+* 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).
-* The initial size of Preferences window is too small. When I try to
-resize it the window jumps to the right size.
-* There should be a close button on the tabs.
+EDITING
-* Polishing:
+* edit->text style->capitalize/lower/upper case doesn't work due to the change
+ tracking-related changes.
-- No icon for "note-next" in the "review" toolbar
+* Copy/paste using middle mouse button inserts musical notes.
-- 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.
-- In the math control panel, there is no icon for
-"Set Math Font"
+MENUS
-- In the math control panel, the buttons are too small
+* Some English menu items don't have a '&' character. (box, date, paste...)
-- 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"
+* src/frontends/qt4/ui/QCitationUi.ui:70 "&Selected citations:" should be
+ "&Selected Citations:".
-- some English menu items don't have a '&' character.
-(box,date,paste...)
+* All label and button texts in the Qt4 dialogs are not translated.
-- src/frontends/qt4/ui/QCitationUi.ui:70
-"&Selected citations:" should be "&Selected Citations:"
+PAINING & PERFORMANCE
+
+* 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.
+
+* 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.
+
+* 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).
+
+* Cursor is still not visible on MAC (Bennett 3/11/06).
+
+* 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
+ when the letter appears on screen -- but the time lag doesn't obviously vary
+ with the amount of text on the screen (as was the case previously). Right now,
+ the speed of normal text entry makes LyX-1.5 usable on my
+ not-fast-but-still-not-outdated computer. (Not sure how it would be on my
+ slow-but-still-usable laptop.)
+
+* Slowness on MAC 2 (Bennett 3/11/06):
+ Speed is still an issue typing in insets: noticeable lag between typing 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.)
+
+* 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.
+
+
+MAC OS X
+
+* Cursor is still not visible on MAC Bennett (3/11/06).
+
+* Drawing oddities on MAC (Bennett 3/11/06):
+ Lines occasionally overlapping vertically, math characters not properly
+ aligned vertically.
+
+* 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 visibility of the toolbars with the GUI do not stick after the screen is
+ redrawn).
+
+* Many issue with dialogs on MAC (Bennett 3/11/06):
+ Most obviously: the Preferences dialog -- which can only be accessed now via
+ keyboard command, not from the menu -- appears initially too small and must be
+ resized; not possible to select buttons with the keyboard).
+
+* 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).

+
+ 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
