BUGS:
-----
+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.
-
+ of the first misspelled word.
-TABLE OF CONTENTS
+* Words with umlauts or accents do not arrive as a whole word in the spell
+ checker.
-* 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).
+TABLE OF CONTENTS
-* TOC crashes (simply make a few sections, subsections, sections; then add TOC
-before all sections and click on the left button)
+* 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.
-* Items in the TOC cannot be moved using drag & drop (Joost 4/11/06).
+* The items in the treeview are editable
-* 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.
+* 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.
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.
+* when opening an already opened document (or a document with newer backup),
+ the mouse pointer turns into a clock, although it waits for confirmation
-* 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)
+* 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).
-
* 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".
+ (retry a couple of times).
-- In the math control panel, the buttons are too small.
+* In the math control panel, there is no icon for "Set Math Font".
-- 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"
+* In the math control panel, the buttons are too small.
+ 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
-(Joost 3/11/06).
+ (Joost 3/11/06).
* 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?
+ (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?
+
+* 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
* There are cursor problems when the same document is opened in two windows
-(Joost 4/11/06).
+ (Joost 4/11/06).
-Information from Abdel:
+ Information from Abdel:
+ Yes, this is the famous dEPM bug (delete Empty Paragraph Mechanism).

+ focus in event and jump the saved position (at focus out).
-Yes, this is the famous dEPM bug (delete Empty Paragraph Mechanism).

+TOOLBARS & MINIBUFFER
-* The title bar does not contain the document name when a new window is opened
-(Joost 4/11/06).
+* When toolbars are hidden, they pop up again after clicking on the document
+ area (Joost 4/11/06).
-* There should be a close button on the tabs (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
+ (Joost 4/11/06). See also the math panel buttons entry above.
+
+* TODO toolbar popup menu, currently disabled (Peter 9/11/06)
-TOOLBARS
+EDITING
-* Toolbars always show on the top of the screen, even though they are set to

+ tracking-related changes.
