LyX relies on a a backing store to draw when running under macOS or
Wayland, because Qt arbitrarily overwrites parts of the workarea
before we paint (and we paint only the parts that need to be painted).
However it seems that this is also necessary on X11 when the WM theme
is translucid. Since there is no way that I know of to detect this
situation, this patch adds a LyXRC setting to manually select this
drawing strategy.
Note that using a backing store is not always a good solution, since
this disables subpixel aliasing.
At this point there is no UI for the variable.

The work is done now in Paragraph::anonymize().
Move the handling of the lfun to Buffer class.
Document the new feature in release notes.
(cherry picked from commit 1dba36c7ce)
Setting the default working directory to '.' is an invasive change
on Mac and Windows, where the current working directory of LyX when
LyX is started from the GUI is not a reasonable choice for the
default directory in e.g. the "save as" file dialog or the "open"
dialog. A similar situation could happen on Linux distributions (I'm
not aware of any, e.g., POSIX standard that defines that the working
directory of a binary started from GUI should be the home
directory). Thus, it is not clear this default is good on any
platform.
If the user wishes to have the behavior of '.', the description in
the "paths" preferences pane provides the information for making the
change.

This reverts commit 892593fbdc.
Rephrase positively the check box for the output of en- and em-dashes
and disable it when using non-TeX fonts. The state of the check box
is remembered, so that toggling the non-TeX fonts check box does not
cause information loss.
- Mention the new buffer parameter in development/FORMAT
- Assure that lyx2lyx generates the same output obtained when saving
a converted document from within lyx
- Don't require any action when converting a document created with
lyx 2.2 in order to assure unchanged output (thanks José for the hint)
This commit fixes the regression introduced in 2.2 about the
output of en- and em-dashes. In 2.2 en- and em-dashes are output as
the \textendash and \textemdash macros when using TeX fonts, causing
changed output in old documents and also bugs (for example, #10490).
Now documents produced with older versions work again as intended,
while documents produced with 2.2 can be made to produce the exact
same output by simply checking "Don't use ligatures for en-and
em-dashes" in Document->Settings->Fonts.
When exporting documents using TeX fonts to earlier versions, in order
to avoid changed output, a zero-width space character is inserted after
each en/em-dash if dash ligatures are allowed. These characters are
removed when reloading documents with 2.3, so that they don't accumulate.
Note that the lyxrc.document_path variable corresponds to what we
call the "Working directory" in the GUI preferences dialog.
Setting document_path to "." makes it so when LyX is started from a
directory, that directory is the default path for many of LyX's
operations, such as the following:
- new file, new from template
- adding a custom BibTeX file
- GUI compare dialog
- local layout button in document settings
- external material file browser
- graphics browser, include browser
The best guess for where the user wants to save or find files is the
directory the user started LyX from. Before, the default was always
the home directory. If desired, the old behavior can be restored by
changing the default path in Preferences > "Working directory".
This commit takes advantage of 9b64d7bd, which allows the use of a
relative path for path preferences.
On Linux and Mac OS, this action brings the LyX window into focus.
Such behavior is not allowed by Windows OS so instead the color of
the taskbar entry is changed to indicate that the window has changed
in some way.
The action is hidden in the shortcuts menu because it would make
sense to assign a shortcut to it. The only way to execute shortcut
would be if the LyX window is already activated.
lyx-activate will be used (see next commit) to allow the PDF viewer
to switch to LyX after executing a reverse search.
