1) Distinguish expanding characters from separators, to fit with Qt's notion of
expanding character which comes from the Unicode std. CountExpanders() is moved
to FontMetrics to fix a discrepancy with the duplicate implementation from
598f7e4a.
2) Make these expanders stretch on-screen proportionally to the em of the font.
If a row mixes large and small text, LyX let us see which spaces are set in the
bigger font.
3) Now that the stretch is defined in ems, add a limit such that an expander
never stretches more than 1.5em to avoid weird and hard to read justified lines.
4) Add a return boolean to setSeparatorExtraWidth for future use.
It turns out that Cursor::getFont() does not return a fully realized
font in some cases. This patch uses real_current_font instead, which
seems better anyway.
I suspect that all uses of getFont() should be removed, but this is
not code that I know well.
Fixes bug #10478.
This means that, when a string contains high-plane Unicode characters,
the length of a docstring and the corresponding QString will be
different: Qt will encode these characters using several 16bit
characters.
We have additionally to take into account QTBUG-25536, which implies
that sometimes qstring_to_ucs4(toqstr(s)) !=s. It is not clear whether
this bug can be a problem in other places.
Fixes bug #10443.
This fixes two particular problems
* with Qt5, it seems that QFontMetrics::width does not return the
correct value for some Arabic text; this patch uses QTextLayout
instead to compute a string width
* Likewise, the undocumented layout flags TextForceRightToLeft and
TextForceLeftToRight do not work with Arabic text; this patch uses
unicode override characters instead.
It might be that the two issues are related. In any case, they do not
happen with latin text where right-to-left direction is enforced. And
they do not happen with Qt4.
Additionally, remove some dead code in GuiFontMetrics::pos2x().
Fixes bug #10436.
This should avoid performance problems related to the window update machinery.
Moreover this fixes a crash introduced by 82808fea when closing a file.
Note that GuiWorkArea::Private already had a read_only_ member, but it
was unused.
Also rename LyXVC::vcname() to LyXVC::vcstatus() since it now contains
directly the UI string to be shown.
Now that there is a signal to inform the controller when the buffer view has
changed, it is no longer necessary to store a perishable pointer to a buffer
view in the dialog view. (Indeed, it was only really useful for checking whether
the new buffer view pointer was different from the old one.)
TODO: other dialogs should be audited for similar hazards.
The limit of 10% is used in both getStatus() and dispatch() to set a
minimum zoom level. Having it centralized makes the code more
readable and makes changing the minimum less error-prone.
A better solution would be to entirely get rid of this borrowed pointer with
unclear lifetime, but this requires to introduce a new signal for when the
buffer view attached to the GuiView has changed.
The title is changed to "LaTeX (pdflatex) Preview", etc. depending on the
format. The actual default format is computed.
The menu name "Source Pane" is replaced by "Code Preview Pane" to better reflect
its purpose.
The window title is built from the current file name and its
mofidication state. We use our own code instead of the automatic title
bar provided when windowFileName() is set because
1/ Qt does not keep the full path name
2/ Qt does not yield a nice application name
The "read only" and "version control" status are shown in the status bar:
* for read only we use the tab read only emblem (with the right size)
* for version control, we show the name of the backend (using a new
vcname() method of the backend).
The iconText() of the view is not updated anymore, since this is
deprecated in Qt5.
Now the external material file dialog shows the file types defined in the
template again. Before this fix it did only show "All files (*)".
I don't know what the old syntax was supposed to do or whether it ever worked
with boost::regex, but with std::regex the new one is correct.
buffer-zoom-out can actually zoom in (by giving a positive number as
the argument), so it should only be disabled at the minimum zoom
level if it is indeed zooming out.
Similarly, buffer-zoom-in can zoom out, so it should be disabled if
the user is at the minimum zoom and it is called to zoom out.
This commit amends 8884c404.
Replace the member reference to FuncRequest in Action.cpp with a
shared_ptr. Compared to copying the FuncRequest, the shared_ptr has two
advantages:
* Recreating the menu each time creates a lot of new actions, so we avoid a lot
of copies.
* FuncRequest can remain forward-declared in Action.h.
The field prettyname can accept Unicode and therefore must be parsed into a
docstring.
Little simplification of the code on the way.
* For other fields, either a validator should be set to prevent non-ascii input
in the preferences, or they should be transformed into docstring too.
Single quotes are special to our parser and must be either escaped or
quoted if they are part of a filename, otherwise they are stripped out.
See #10342.
Fix assertion with gcc 6: The comparison function must be a strict weak
orderings and not give x < x.
Fix assertion when a custom exportable document format is given a non-ASCII
name. Use qt_ to be consistent with the rest of the code.
Use Qt's locale-aware comparison for appropriate sorting.
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.
* New constant LYXFILE_LAYOUT_FORMAT in src/TextClass.cpp. This determines the
layout format corresponding to the current lyx file format.
* The Local Layout pane is changed so that the "Convert" button does not convert
to the internal layout format but to the current lyx file format, to make sure
that the file does not become unreadable with a specified earlier version of
LyX.
* If LYXFILE_LAYOUT_FORMAT == LAYOUT_FORMAT then LyX behaves as before. This is
the value defined in master.
A static local variable is guaranteed to be initialized only once, and in time.
Lambda expressions can be used to perform complex initialization of those static
variables on the spot.

Prevent setRange() from causing a recursive call to scrollTo(). Reduces three
calls of scrollTo() to one call for all scrolling functions of the scroll bar
(e.g. clicking on the arrow, dragging, or clicking somewhere on the scrollbar).
Before this commit, in the paths preferences tab if you put a
relative path, LyX would convert it behind the scenes to an absolute
path by evaluating the relative path with respect to the working
directory of the LyX instance where the preference change is taking
place. This seems confusing because (1) it is done behind the scenes
(after the preferences dialog is closed) and (2) if the user chooses
to enter a relative path, the safest thing to do is to preserve it
as a relative path, instead of making the assumption that the user
intended for it to be expanded to an absolute path.
An explanation of how relative paths are handled is given at the
bottom of the paths tab. Note that the height/width of the
preferences window is not changed as a result of adding this
explanatory comment because the height of the preferences dialog is
already stretched by other tabs.
This commit improves consistency in the sense that the behavior of
LyX is now the same when a relative path is specified in the
preferences dialog as when it is manually specified in the
preferences file. Before, if the preferences file were manually
edited and a relative path were inserted, the next time the user
made a change to preferences with the GUI (even if the preference
change was a different preference, e.g. instant preview), the
relative path would be silently converted to an absolute path,
evaluated with respect to the working directory of that instance.
Beyond improving clarity and consistency (IMO), this commit allows
for a new feature to be implemented of using relative paths in the
paths preferences. For example, the user may now enter '.' as the
"Working directory" path and now whenever they start LyX from a
directory and create a new file, the default location of the file
will be the directory from which they started LyX, instead of the
user's home directory which is LyX's default and is less intuitive.
No prefs2prefs work is needed because if a relative path were
entered in the preferences dialog before this commit, it was
converted to an absolute path before being stored in preferences. If
a relative path were specified by manually editing the preferences
file, then (unless the path were already automatically converted to
an absolute path by a GUI preferences change, as described above)
the behavior will be the same (the path will be treated as a
relative path).

This commit removes the last use of lyx::support::expandPath() in
LyX's sources.
The Qt documentation states that tabAt() returns -1 if the position
is not over a tab. This behavior has been consistent since Qt 4.3
[1]. This commit's improvement likely makes the code faster in two
ways:
(1) we do not need to loop through potentially all tabs
(2) we only need to look up the tab index corresponding with one
position
posIsTab() is not currently used intensively so no practical gain in
speed is achieved, but it protects against future use.

This is the default behavior of Chromium and Firefox. The main
appeal is that instead of having to precisely click on the 'x' to
close a tab, one can more easily middle-click anywhere in the tab.
The tab is closed if the middle button is pressed on a tab and is
relased on the same tab. After pressing, the user may move the mouse
over other tabs but as long as they move it back to the tab where
they initiated the press before they release, the close will
execute. This is how the feature works in Chromium and Firefox.
Nothing is done if the user middle-clicks on the blank part of the
tab bar. This is consistent with Chromium. Firefox, on the other
hand, opens a new tab. In LyX one can already double-click the blank
part to open a new tab, and in feedback from lyx-users [1] most
expected and desired that nothing be done in this case.

A chunk of code in an event handler seems to be unnecessary to me
because the event that the situation handles never makes it this far
in the event handling hierarchy. I'm not sure why this is, and thus
I'm not sure if this is true in all cases (e.g. Qt version) and if
it will be true in the future so I leave this code for now.
* Fix bug #10261 : KDE smartly adds conflicting accelerators.
* Prevent bugs like #9495 in the future.
Issues (non-regression):
* It does not appear possible to prevent Ubuntu's Unity from grabbing the
accelerators for the menus. For instance Alt+A still opens _Affichage in the
French localization.
Add a new checkbox "Save transient properties" to the "Output" panel in the
document properties dialog (now renamed as "Format").
This provides the front-end for the change at 5c2d04999.
is output when a branch is NOT activated. Fixes bug #7698.
At the moment, inversion is controlled through the branch settings
dialog. There is no provision for inserting inverted insets directly,
or for changing them from the context menu. Both of these could be
done, of course. The latter would need LFUN_BRANCH_TOGGLE_INVERTED.
The differentiation of "xetex" and "platex" is not needed here,
is ambiguous and confusing (see #10013). The code that relies on
it can/should get its information otherwise.
Furthermore, polyglossia-exclusive languages now also work with
LuaTeX, since we support LuaTeX + polyglossia.
With both Qt4 and Qt5, when using a click-to-focus policy, the first
attempt to paste a selection by middle mouse in an external application
which has no focus may fail. It is not clear why this succeeds for some
applications and fails for others, but refreshing the timestamp of the
selection request cures the issue. The cmake part is by Kornel.

A window manager could be configured such that to maintain a certain
stack order for the windows. It would be annoying that opening a new
file through menu brings up the window, so do this only if we are
loading a file through the lyx-server.
