This assures the OK/Apply/Cancel/Restore buttons use the layout/style
of the OS (button order, icons).
The goal is to move all dialogs to this for 2.4.
See #11003
The goal of this patch is to make "self-insert <string>" act as a
sequence of individual self-insert calls. Once it is done, the
insertion of the commit string in GuiWorkArea can use that, which
fixes the issues described in bug 11183.
1/ in InsetMathNest, SELF_INSERT is rewritten to be a proper loop of
interpretChar, instead of inserting the string as characters. This
solves the issue of interpreting ^ properly.
2/ the text version does not need to be changed (the loop is rewritten
using a range, though).
3/ Then {{{GuiWorkArea::inputMethodEvent}}} is changed to invoke
directly self-insert. This removes the update issues.
Fixes bug 11183.
Completion uses a complicated async scheme based on timers to update
itself. This is probably not necessary anymore and is fragile to
event order changes.
This is what happens with the new painting scheme. Therefore the
asyncHideXXX() methods have to be made more robust and detect whether
completion state has changed by the time they are triggered.
This is detected when an undo group is open and contains at east one
element. This means indeed that changes are in progress. Note that the
group is in general opened in GuiApplication::dispatch. The code there
is changed to ensure that the group is closed before updating the
screen.
This patch is experimental. It is expected to be replaced in master by
a more complete solution. It could in the meantime be backported to 2.3.x.
Fixes bug #11159.
As opposed to modules (from which the framework was initially borrowed),
we only allow one cite engine per document. Thus, we don't need to fiddle
with lists.
It is now possible in the float settings (doc dialog) to specify a global
(inner) alignment for floats, and in the float settings, this can be
overridden (just as with float placement)
Fixes: #8665
File format change.
This revives a ten year old idea (and patch) by Dov.
You can now mark in the character dialog text and exclude it from spell
checking.
Fixes: #1042
File format change
Remaining issue: The instant spell checking marks are not immediately
removed, but only after some editing.
This is a proposal, but I think you should try it out in order to comment
What this does, is:
1. Remove the toggle madness. This is really not something anyone
understands without knowing the code, and its very unusual UI
(fixes#4836)
2. Separate and group things that were put all into the "Misc" trashcan
combo
3. Let the dialog reflect the font settings at cursor (selection)
Now the dialog looks more like character dialogs from other applications,
and I think it is more in line with what users expect.
Comments very welcome (and of course I will revert if you want to have
the old idiosyncratic thing back).
I'm open to putting this elsewhere on the toolbar, or even on a
different toolbar. Also, we need decent icons. These ones are not
intended seriously but were just borrowed for testing purposes.
Anyone have good ideas about icons?
