Fixup 527984ed: fix initial screen size when using backing store
When using a back store, it is obviously important to resize it
whenever the buffer view is resized. The new code path added in 527984ed skipped this part, so that the window was wrong when creating
a new window.
Commit 5577e877 introduces forceUpdateBuffer() to delay actual
updatBuffer() calls to a central place.
In Cursor::upDownInText, the updateNeeded flag (which triggers
Update::Force update flag) is set to true when Cursor::checkDepm
returns true. This is fine, except that checkDepm also leads to a
forceBufferUpdate() call.
The logic in the method was such that, when updateNeeded is already
true when entering, forceBufferUpdate() will be called even though
checkDepm did not request it.
Fixes a slight delay with selecting in MergedManual (the manual of
manuals).
Avoid full metrics computation with Update:FitCursor
The handling of Update::FitCursor traditionnally recomputes all
metrics once or twice. Now that updateMetrics(false) ensures that all
paragraphs that require it have a metrics, we might as well use that.
Take this occasion to move handling of Update::SinglePar earlier,
before the check for Update::ForceDraw.
Set buffer when creating a MathData from parts of another one
This is triggered by selecting part of an equation under Xcb platform
(x11). Indeed, the current selection has to be sent to the X11 server
and BufferView::requestSelection() is called. Eventually
cap::grabSelection() is the function that creates this partial
MathData object.
Set buffer_ correctly when inseting a math macro over a selection
The code that handles this special macro insertion (in
Cursor::mathMacroClose())) is very weird: it inserts the contents of
the macro _after_ the macro and later, since the macro is 'greedy', it
will eat this contents and put it in its first macro cell.
Does it make sense to you? It does not ake sense to me either. Anyway,
this is the point where one should make sure that the buffer is set.
When debug (-g) is enabled (default when compiling a development
version), the existing -O optimization level is not correct, since
many variables are optimized out when debugging.
Use -Og instead, and condition not on compiling a development version,
but on --enable-debug. This is the same by default, but it more
precise in our case.
Force a Buffer * argument to math insets constructor
Make sure that math insets have a proper buffer. To this end, make the
Buffer* parameter of InsetMath mandatory and fix the compilation
errors that ensue.
In order to ensure that MathData objects have a valid buffer, the
default MathData() constructor is deleted. This means that a buffer
shall be specified for each MathData object created.
This is fairly mechanical, actually. In particular, in most
InsetMathXxx cases, in MathData and in MathParser, the available
buffer_ member is used.
More specific cases:
- lyxfind.cpp takes the buffer from the Cursor
- calls to vector<MathData>::resize take an additional
MathData(buffer_) parameter. There are cases where resize actually
remove cells, and in this case clear() or even erase() have been
used.
- in InsetMathMacroTemplate, the optional parameters of the
constructors cannot be allowed anymore (a default value cannot
depend on another parameter). Therefore there a now two constructors
instead.
- in MathAutoCorrect.cpp, the MathData objects are not bound to a
buffer, so that std::nullptr is used instead.
- in MathExtern, use a buffer when one is specified, std::nulptr
instead.
Now that SingleParUpdate does not always lead to a full screen update
when the height of the paragraph changes (see new behavior of
updateMatrics(bool)), it is necessary to make sure that the grey area
below the main page is always repainted.
When a buffer is reloaded, its content may remain the same, but the
memory allocation is new, so that the inset pointers in cursors are
now wrong. This requires to sanitize the cursors held by the buffer
views.
Before the biginset branch, some full metrics computation call that is
now removed probably did that as a side effect. Now we have to be more
precise.
To this effect, introduce WorkAreaManager::sanitizeCursors() and use
it in Buffer::reload().

Improved copy operation for user directory contents of previous major releases
- avoid copying of configure.log
- avoid copying of chkconfig.ltx
There is a report of a hang on first start of LyX with new major release.
The removal of the chkconfig.ltx (leftover from early LyX versions) fixed the issue.
Fixup 'Avoid metrics computation on resize when width did not change'
When the width of the window did not change, computing full metrics is
not necessary in BufferView::resize(), but it is better to redraw the
screen (especially with Wayland).
Typical use cases are when using M-x to open the minibuffer or going
in and out of an equation (which shows/hides the math toolbars).
See description here:
https://marc.info/?l=lyx-devel&m=171243435229412&w=2
cutSelectionHelper did not request a metrics update when the selection
was inner to a paragraph. The new code is better, but it was not
necessary before the biginset branch because of a full metrics
computation that hid this missing case.
Avoid some full metrics computations related to math previews
When entering/leaving a math hull inset, a Update::Force flag was set,
in case the metrics of the inset would change because of a switch
between normal and preview representation.
When entering the inset, this code is now used only when the inset was
in preview mode.
In both cases, Update::Force is replaced with Update::SinglePar.
This requites in Text::dispatch to honor Update::SinglePar when it has
been set by some lfun, even when singleparupdate is false.
Avoid metrics computation on resize when width did not change
Entering a math inset triggers a work area reize because the math
toobars appear automatically. However, by default these toolbars are
at the bottom of the screen and their presence does not change the
typesetting of paragraphs. Therefore it is useful to avoid a call to
updateMetrics() in the case where the width of the work area did not
change.
Reduce metrics updates from 4 to 1 when loading file
The number of metrics updates when loading file and showing it in a
new work area is unreasonable.
The first avoided call to updateMetrics() was an explicit resize in
BufferView::init(). Instead, an assertion is suppressed by exiting
early BufferView::processUpdateFlags() when BufferView::ready()
returns false. This is a new method introduced to factor in some
existing tests.
Two other metrics computations are avoided by setting the enclosing
View object busy() while creating the new tab. To make this work
properly, GuiWorkArea::scheduleRedraw has to return early in this
case.
When saving an unnamed document or invoking "Save as...", call
setBusy(false) earlier so that repainting occurs correctly.
Do not compute metrics at each preview when loading file
With the branch-test.lyx file from #12297, loading takes forever when
previews are activated. This is because each preview element causes a
full screen metrics recomputation.
This commit just skips these calls and only does one when all previews
have been obtained. As a result, computing the previews takes 1 second
instead of 25 seconds on branch-test.lyx.
Improve the code that limits scrolling at top/bottom
The most visible part of this commit is the move of part of
BufferView::updateMetrics to a new TextMetrics::updateMetrics. This
new method makes sure that metrics are known for all visible paragraphs
(starting from anchor), and that the positions of the paragraphs have
been recorded.
This method is called up to 3 times in BufferView::updateMetrics:
* unconditionally, to update all visible metrics,
* then, if the bottom of the document is visible and too high, after
updating the anchor ypos,
* and similarly if the top of the document is visible and too low.
This fixes for example the case where one jumps to Section 5.3 at the
end of Tutorial and 'scroll_below_document' is false.
Some now redundant code is removed from BufferView::scrollToCursor.
The anchor-setting code in BufferView::draw is not clearly useful, but
left here just in case. It generates a debug warning, though.
Replace flag parameter for updateMetrics() by a `force' boolean. When
it is false, the method keeps the metrics of paragraphs that are still
visible in WorkArea instead of computing everything afresh. All it has
to do is update their positions.
Add code to updateMetrics() to update the value of the anchor pit/ypos
(similar to the one in draw()).
Update processUpdateFlags() to use this when update flag is ForceDraw.
Modify scrollDocView() to just change the anchor paragraph position
when the scrolling operation would re-use some of the existing
paragraphs.
The time needed to update the metrics when scrolling with mouse in the
branch-test.lyx document is now divided by 20!
The idea of single par update is to try to re-break only the paragraph
containing the cursor (if this paragraph contains insets etc.,
re-breaking will recursively descend).
The existing single paragraph update mechanism was tailored to work
only at top level. Indeed changing a paragraph nested into an inset may
lead to larger changes.
This commit tries a rather naive approach that seems to work well: we
need a full redraw if either
1/ the height has changed
or
2/ the width has changed and it was equal to the text metrics width;
the goal is to catch the case of a one-row inset that grows with
its contents, but optimize the case of typing in a short paragraph
part of a larger inset.
NOTE: if only the height has changed, then it should be
possible to update all metrics at minimal cost. However,
since this is risky, we do not try that right now.
if the undo element we want to add only changes stuff that was already
modified by the previous one on undo stack (in the same group), then
skip it. There is nothing to gain in adding it to the stack.
The typical use case is when doing a search and replace in a large
document that does many replacements in each paragraph. In this case,
the same paragraph would be stored repeatedly.
