Avoid bogus warnings when configuring for Qt6 Recent versions of qmake complain loudly when the locale does not explicitly specify the utf8 codeset. Specifically, the configure script exports LC_ALL=C and that implies the ascii codeset. Previously, this was silently changed to utf8, whereas now we get a warning for each qmake invocation. So, explicitly set utf8 before calling qmake. 2024-07-03 19:02:51 +00:00			`- Avoid bogus warnings when configuring for Qt6.`

\cprotect amendment \cprotect'ed insets do not need forced local font switch; in fact files with this break in compilation. E.g. a caption with an URL containing the char '#' and caption text set to a secondary language. (cherry picked from commit 8659924abd7026aa97a36bd99efeb11705ff7190) 2024-06-22 11:38:47 +00:00

Fix crash when attempting to search in selection that contains only math (cherry picked from commit cca68d0614269edfc256db82b3849afde4640dd7) 2024-07-15 15:41:10 +00:00			`- Fix crash when attempting to search in selection that contains only math.`

Fixup f4364c75: remove two more Update::SinglePar instances They do not do what the author(s) of these lines thought it would do, and can create crashes. (cherry picked from commit 485f5afc21ba553fd16465231de7570b0c631298) 2024-07-20 15:12:09 +00:00			`- Fix potential crashes when scrolling documents.`

			`popped up twice, or sometimes not at all (bug 12954).`
Do not draw appendix lines below en of document This bug is pretty old, but it was not visible because the grey area below the document would overwrite it. It would be better to close the frame at the end of the document, but this is for later. (cherry picked from commit 7acfbe0fccc729dcf5d910a4049b25e9943329fc) (cherry picked from commit c96d3a03400893f440dca7e68ed87bd70bea0b39) 2024-06-06 12:32:00 +00:00
Remove setBuffer call in Cursor::push. This is potentially slow. It also should be unnecessary after some of JMarc's recent commits. See bug #13050. (cherry picked from commit 66cfc6af3c764b6923aae6c134c43c2155317c6a) 2024-06-01 16:06:13 +00:00			`- Improve performance when selecting text on less powerful systems (bug 13050).`

GuiTabular: add missing connections (cherry picked from commit 2bf3124f25bd7f71ad37adcf710b66dfb52192ff) 2024-07-14 12:20:05 +00:00			`- Enable OK/Apply button in tabular dialog when "Additional Space" combo has`
			`been set to different value.`

Remove alpha component of system colors When using system colors it may happen (on windows 11 in particular) that the background color is actually translucid. This is not something we are prepared to handle and it creates ghosts on screen. The fix is easy: the alpha channel of the colors is set to 255. Fixes bug #13084. (cherry picked from commit 095bb18331f8eb4653691a64520d89d4a2d60fc4) 2024-07-22 18:36:20 +00:00			`- Fix ghost image on Windows with system colors (bug 13084).`

Strip quotes from PackageOptions. Amends a77c84a0b4d5 (cherry picked from commit 1449fbf9ae3ecc70fbc7299f8901ecc31cdff1ab) 2024-06-06 04:58:33 +00:00

Fix faulty undo recording The recordUndo() call is very wrong, since we may be inserting over a selection covering several paragraphs (undo itself works at paragraph granularity). recordUndoSelection() is the right operation in this case. It is equivalent to recordUndo() when there is no selection. (cherry picked from commit 82f387dabc2b18de6a9917192f4304e92bff8bc1) 2024-07-16 13:43:11 +00:00			`- Fix possible crash in undo code after inserting note inset over a multi-paragraph`

Add explicit check for EGREP in configure.ac It is used in lib/Makefile.am and we were relying some autoconf macros to define it as a side-effect. This is not the case anymore as of autoconf 2.72. (cherry picked from commit 31cde7247638a50c2302744984732064505b7d85) 2024-07-12 14:02:53 +00:00			`- Fix 'make install' target for autotools builds with autoconf >= 2.72.`
