lyx_mirror/Status.15x

Debugging spree:

Rules:
1. bugs that aim for 1.5.0 should be listed here.
2. whoever fixes a bug sign his name before the bug and move it to the
end of this file,
  along with a lyx-devel announcement.
3. we need to figure out a price for the champion (and second place).


BUGS:

* Spell checking cannot be invoked a second time!

* In the TOC dialog, switching between the different TOC types (TOC,
Table, Float, etc.) is broken

* TOC crashes (simply make a few sections, subsections, sections; then
add TOC before all sections and click on the left button)

* 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

* 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)

* In the math control panel, switching between different
"functions" is broken (retry a couple of times)

* edit->text style->capitalize/lower/upper case doesn't work
due to the change tracking-related changes

* The multi-window thing is broken. When I switch windows I get crashes
all the time.

* 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?

* The visual table size selection on the the "Insert Table" dialog is gone.

* 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.

* Toolbars always show on the top of the screen, even though they are
set to "bottom" in the ui file.

* 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.

* Polishing:

- No icon for "note-next" in the "review" toolbar

- 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"

- 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"

- some English menu items don't have a '&' character.
(box,date,paste...)

- src/frontends/qt4/ui/QCitationUi.ui:70
"&Selected citations:" should be "&Selected Citations:"



CREDITS:

* Performance on Windows is bad. On my system, scrolling the User Guide
takes 10 seconds with LyX 1.4 and more than 30 seconds with LyX 1.5.
Although I have a modern computer, it all feels very slow.

FIXED (Abdel 04/10/06): This was due to spurious message in QLPainter.C,
I've put that in Debug::PAINTING, so 1.5 is faster than 1.4 on Windows XP
on my 3 years old laptop (18s for the UserGuide test).


* The multi-window thing is broken. When I have the same document in two
windows, only the last selected paragraph in one of the windows gets
updated.

FIXED (Abdel 04/10/06): This was due my singlePar optimization. With my
last commit, the optimization is enabled only if the WorkArea has the
focus.
