Empty selections can cause confusing behavior for a few reasons:
(1) some functions behave differently depending on whether there is a
selection. If I press delete, nothing happens (where I expect the
character or inset before the cusor to be deleted). If I toggle bold or
emphasize nothing happens (where if there is no selection the entire
word is toggled). There are other LyX functions that depend on whether
there is a selection or not. Further, I wonder if any part of LyX's code
assumes that if there is a selection it is non-empty.
(2) menu options are incorrectly set. For example, the scissors icon.
For remaining empty selection issues, see #9222.

This branch implements string-wise metrics computation. The goal is to
have both good metrics computation (and font with proper kerning and
ligatures) and better performance than what we have with
force_paint_single_char. Moreover there has been some code
factorization in TextMetrics, where the same row-breaking algorithm
was basically implemented 3 times.
Globally, the new code is a bit shorter than the existing one, and it
is much cleaner. There is still a lot of potential for code removal,
especially in the RowPainter, which should be rewritten to use the new
Row information.
The bugs fixed and caused by this branch are tracked at ticket #9003:
http://www.lyx.org/trac/ticket/9003
What is done:
* Make TextMetrics methods operate on Row objects: breakRow and
setRowHeight instead of rowBreakPoint and rowHeight.
* Change breakRow operation to operate at strings level to compute
metrics The list of elements is stored in the row object in visual
ordering, not logical. This will eventually allow to get rid of the
Bidi class.
* rename getColumnNearX to getPosNearX (and change code accordingly).
It does not make sense to return a position relative to the start of
row, since nobody needs this.
* Re-implement cursorX and getPosNearX using row elements.
* Get rid of lyxrc.force_paint_single_char. This was a workaround that
is not necessary anymore.
* Implement proper string metrics computation (with cache). Remove
useless workarounds which disable kerning and ligatures.
* Draw also RtL text string-wise. This speeds-up drawing.
* Do not cut strings at selection boundary in RowPainter. This avoids
ligature/kerning breaking in latin text, and bad rendering problems
in Arabic.
* Remove homebrew Arabic and Hebrew support from Encoding.cpp. We now
rely on Qt to do handle complex scripts.
* Get rid of LyXRC::rtl_support, which does not have a real use case.
* Fix display of [] and {} delimiters in Arabic scripts.
The use of RLO/LRO overrides to force text orientation was really hackish and the way it was done caused dropped letters in Mac OS X (for some unknown reasons).
This new approach is much cleaner, except that it relies on features not advertised in documentation
but present at least from Qt 4.5 to Qt 5.3:
* TextFlag enum values TextForceLeftToRight and TextForceRightToLeft, which are strong versions
of QPainter::setLayoutDirection; they are passed as a parameter of QPainter::drawText.
* QTextLayout::setFlags method, which is required to pass the above flags to QTextLayout.
The unicode override method is still used to draw strings Mac OS X because, for some reason, the direction was not really enforced in this case.
This can only be done where splitting of string is identical in row breaking and display. It will be possible to reintroduce this when row painting uses the tokenized row information.
The option --enable-qt5 allows configuring for Qt5. The default is Qt4.
Nothing special is done with respect to Qt4, apart from pulling in the
correct libraries. Indeed, other than the core and gui libraries, now
also the concurrent and widgets libraries are needed.
This variable was introduced to guard against any bad consequence of the then-new right-to-left
languages support. Let's be bold and get rid of it altogether!
Now right to left support is always enabled.
The display of partially-selected word is now done in a new Painter::text method
which displays the string twice with different clip settings. This allows to
catter for the case where Color_selectiontext is not black.
Morover, the code that uses unicode override characters to force the
direction of a string is moved to lstrings.h.
Fixes: #9116
The old implementation of Row::Element::pos2x and x2pos did not work
correctly with Arabic text, because characters can have shapes that
depend on context.
This new implementation leverages QTextLayout in a simplified way,
since only one word is added to the layout.
This allows to make Row::Element::x2pos more readable.
Fixes: #9115.
Using a static variable here was premature optimization: fileNames() is only
called from GuiRef (directly or indirectly), and since this is a dialog the
copying of a FileNameList is not noticeable at all.
FileName::tempName() created a new temp file name by using qt to create a
temporary file with a unique name, and then deleting that file and returning
the name. This was unsafe, since other processes or even other threads of the
running LyX could create files with the same name between deletion and then
using the temp name.
This is fixed by using the TempFile class instead. As a side effect, a few
cases where the temp files were not deleted after usage were fixed as well.
The only place that is still unsafe is createTmpDir().
Thanks to maciejr we know now what the remaining problem was with bug 7954:
My unicode symbol fallback works fine, the problem was that a font named
"Symbol" is available on OS X, but it does not use the font-specific encoding
we expect: Almost all glyphs are at their unicode code point.
Therefore the bug is fixed by re-enabling the unicode workaround and blocking
the Symbol font on OS X.
Maximizing the document settings window when on the modules pane,
the horizontal space is now given to the module names and so no
scrollbar is needed. Before, even when maximized, a scrollbar was
sometimes needed because the horizontal space was given to the
buttons in the middle, which did not provide an extra benefit.
The default sizeType was "Expanding" and is now changed to "Minimum"
for the horizontal spacer above the middle buttons.
The firs tinvolves a thinko in BibTeXInfo::expandFormat. We were previously
counting passes through this routine, which means: one for every character,
more or less. So long strings would hit the "recursion limit". But what
we are worried about is an infinite loop caused by misues of macros, so that
is what we need to count.
This prevents the error we were previously getting, but it reveals a huge
slowdown when one tries to open a citation inset with a large nubmer of keys.
So we also limit the number of keys we try to process, and the length of the
string we try to display, when we are generating citation information.
I'm convinced that there is a deeper problem in how citation information is
generated (see the bug tracker for more info), but that will require major
surgery and a file format change
addPath() always adds a slash at the end, os got a double one before.
Qt and the OS are clever enough to understand that, but a single slash
looks more nice.
This has the advantage of simplifying our code and to produce the
correct output: the small capitals should have the exact same width as
the lower case letters.
The slanted fonts are also translated to oblique on Qt side, but this
does not seems to have an effect in my testing. It may be that proper
oblique fonts need to be installed.

Many of these definitely are vulnerable to concurrent access, such
as the static variables declared at the start of output_latex.cpp.
Suppose, e.g., we were outputting latex and also displaying the
source of a different document.
I'd appreciate it if others could grep for "FIXME THREAD" and see
if some of these are harmless, or what.
It is confusing for the users to see the formats 1.3--1.6 in the file-open
dialog and not the 2.0 format. The exotic extensions were only used when
e.g., LyX 1.6.x exported to LyX 1.5.x format.
try to show dialogs or ask for user input while doing advanced find
and replace. In many of these cases we should simply find a way for
avoiding lyx to show a dialog, however an extra info/warning dialog
is better than the GUI freezing and having to kill the process.
This extends the already existing math symbol fallback mechanism in two ways:
1) When considering the availability of the math font, also take broken
code points into account. These are currently 0x0009 and 0x00ad, depending
on the platform.
2) If the fallback symbol in the standard "Symbol" font is not given, or if
the "Symbol" font is not available, or the fallback symbol is one of the
broken ones, try to use a generic unicode symbol as second fallback instead.
If this is available, we rely on Qt to find a font which has it. Only if
this is not available, display the symbol as ERT.
This ensures that we do never get a symbol which is not displayed: Either
it can be displayed, with or without fallback, or it will be shown as ERT.

bug, but (a) it isn't a crash and (b) it probably won't affect
many users, if *any* users.
See https://bugreports.qt-project.org/browse/QTBUG-34132
* [QTBUG-34132] QFileDialog does no longer instantiate widgets if a
native dialog will be used instead. Therefore some accessors
which previously returned unused objects will now return null.
As before, you can set the DontUseNativeDialog option to ensure
that widgets will be created and used instead.
Seemingly, Qt uses native dialogs by default starting from version 5.2.0.
When trying to open a file dialog, LyX segfaults in release mode, whereas
Qt asserts in debug mode:
ASSERT failure in QList<T>::at: "index out of range",
file /usr/local/qt/5.2.0/include/QtCore/qlist.h, line 472
This is avoided by explicitly setting the DontUseNativeDialog option
in the code path selected by *not* setting USE_NATIVE_FILEDIALOG.
This option was introduced in Qt 4.5, which is the minimum required
for compiling LyX. So, it is not protected by a preprocessor macro.
LFUN_BUFFER_SAVE_AS has an optional argument where an initial format can be preset
This fixes:
* The remainder of bug #3402: Open Export As dialog when attempting to export to read-only directories
* Bug #8886: 'export as' should default to the default document output format
It is always a bad idea to compare a localized string. I think the whole method Formats::getFormatFromPrettyName (which is now unused) should be ditched. This is bound to fail.
In [19024f72\lyxgit] this line was removed. Later this caused that floats were converted to strings using ','s instead of '.'s. Readding this line fixes this.
Get the default language by a mix of QLocale and LyXRC::gui_language
Known limitations:
* encoding is supposed to be UTF-8 (the charset parameter is checked);
* context is not handled (implemented differently in LyX);
* plural forms not implemented (not used for now in LyX);.
* tThe byte endianness of the machine on which the .mo file have been
built is expected to be the same as the one of the machine where this
code is run.

Patch and description from Bennett Helm
- InsetBox.cpp:
a framebox without inner box and without a width is \fbox
a framebox with inner box is also \fbox
a framebox without inner box and with width is \framebox
- GuiBox.cpp: the width checkbox must be checked if there is width
- this was forgotten to commit;
(without this we would get invalid LaTeX code when changing in the box dialog a makebox without a width to a minipage and press apply - a makebox required to specify a width, at least an invisible one like "0cm")
* InsetBox and GuiBox: Use proper empty length instead of the broken -9.99col% trick
* some slight changes to the logic of GuiBox to make sure that values are set as needed.
* lengthToWidget(): handle properly the empty length case. All the other related Qt helpers did it already, it was probably an oversight. Also set the default_unit parameter as optional (not needed in this patch actually, but I got carried away :)
* allow generating LaTeX code for an empty length, since some broken code does that.
If there is a new toolbar, it will not be restored by Qt and we need to
initialize it ourselves. However, it is not so easy to find out which
toolbars are restored by Qt and which are not. For this, the setVisible
function of GuiToolbar is 'misused'. If the visibility is set, the toolbar
must have been restored by Qt and we should leave it alone.
LyX uses QTemporaryFile to create a unique temporary directory. This
temporary directory will consist of two random characters and the process
identifier (PID).
Currently, the two random characters are often the same because Qt's
random generator was not seeded. If there are a lot of lyx temporary
directories accumulated, the chance of failing to find a unique temporary
directory is (N/100)%.
The temporary directories can be left behind if either LyX crashes, or
when a file in the temporary directory is opened in another viewer when
LyX closes. This can be a pdf that is viewed in a reader that disallows
the file to be removed while viewing it.
The default citation capability of LaTeX is not a true numerical
citation engine, rather it uses a mixture of labels/numbers. Thus
we now distinguish them: "numerical" always increments the bibitem
counter and uses its value as a numerical citation label, while
"default" only uses the bibitem counter when no label is provided.
LyX file format incremented to 471.
These should be used if any new style needs to be introduced in the stable
2.1 series: If the ForceLocal flag of the style is set, it will always be
written to the document header, so that even older 2.1 versions can read
and correctly output the document.
Reason for this 'cleanup' is the strange "optional = false" lines at the
end of the "case md_item" and "case md_subitem". Then, it is nicer to
directly use the value of the switch to be the running variable and to use
this to determine whether an item is optional and whether we should quit.
The panels in GuiDocument and GuiPrefs are stored in a map. The keys are
the translated descriptions of these panels. Whenever someone changes the
gui language and reopens the Document Settings pane, LyX asserted because
it could not find the "Child Documents" pane.
In commit bd9e8fecd the currentIndex of the FindAndReplaceAdv Pane was
changed from 0 to 1. Since then LyX crashed when requesting the pane or
when changing LyX preferences.
This patch reverts this, although it is not clear why it would crash
otherwise. It is still committed like this, because LyX is unusable
without.
View Source pane layout now automatically switches between horizontal
and vertical design when docked in vertical or horizontal way.

Note: the long standing-fight with too bulky minimal QTextEdit size
is now solved via ViewSourceUi.sizePolicy=Ignored.
This is mostly unused private class members.
There are also a few unused functions that got #if'ed out. I never know in this case whether the code should be nuked.
False positive rate of hints is quite high. Although the includes can be
technically removed (due to other includes) they logically belong to the

There are several places I was not sure what to do. These are marked
by comments beginning "LASSERT:" so they can be found easily. At the

The default sizeAdjustPolicy is AdjustToContentsOnFirstShow. As the

later remove the 'At Decimal Separator' item.
Before, if a user had "Group" checked in GuiRef and double-clicked
on a category, that category would be inserted as a (broken)
reference. Now, when a category is double-clicked, nothing happens.
If a label starts with ':' and 'Group' is checked,
the label is now shown under "<No prefix>" instead of
not shown.
Note that labels starting with ':' can be valid in LaTeX.
If "Group" is checked, "<No prefix>" is shown only if there exists a
label with no prefix. Before, it was shown even when it was empty and
even when there were no labels at all.
As discussed on the list. No automatic contents detection is done, the user
needs to use the special paste menu instead. I used the new TempFile class
for safe temporary file handling.
The documentation would go into section 2.2 of UserGuide.lyx, but I am not
allowed to edit that document.
The HTML export is now mature enough so that it can be used to transfer
formatted text to the clipboard. This enhances interoperability e.g. with
office applications.
We only need to sort the formats when it is really necessary, i.e. for GUI
purposes.
This also prevents 11000 requests for translation everytime the toolbars
are updated.
- fileformat change
- it was a pity that LyX did not yet support a simple rectangular frame without a defined width but LyX did this for e.g. oval frames
- \fbox and \mbox often occur in TeX files and can now be imported
Before, it was done on editingFinished(). The new behavior is more
intuitive because it is easier for the user to see how editing the box
is connected with enabling/disabling the other widgets. Before, the user
would not get instant feedback and would have to click away before the
connection is revealed. This new behavior is less efficient, however,
because checkEnabled() is called after every keystroke.
- Use the LyX name of encodings instead of the LaTeX names.
The LyX name must be unique, while the name used by LaTeX
not necessarily, e.g. different packages might implement
support for the same encoding.
- Rename koi8 to koi8-r, so that the LyX and LaTeX names match.
- Rename euc-jp-plain to euc-jp-platex, jis-plain to jis-platex
and shift-jis-plain to shift-jis-platex.
- Add utf8-platex encoding (fixes#8408).
LyX file format incremented to 463.
At this moment we do not allow comparison between arbitrary hashes,
but except GUI the code is ready.
Thanks to the powerful way of git addressing we could even ask
for comparisons like '-2 weeks back' if someone wants to play
with GuiCompareHistory.
The advantage of having this in LyX is the intelligent file name handling
of included files. Implementation as discussed on the list, but ensure also
that an attempt to use locked files fails.
It is not possible to transport the different error/abort/success conditions
of a VCS checkin through a simple empty or nonempty string. Therefore it was
no wonder that the return values were used inconsistently for different VCS.
Now the log and return status are decoupled, and all VCS are handled
consistently. This is a prerequisite for proper locking detection of the
upcoming rename command.

Most images are generated by development/tools/generate_symbols_images.py, but
some were drawn manually. Now there is no image missing from the ones the
script can generate.
These encodings were not defined, since they must not be used as document
encodings (the characters {, } and \ may appear in high bytes, and latex
would be confused). However, they are supported by CJK.sty (which uses a
preprocessor to circumvent the limitations of the latex executable). These
encodings are now defined, but used for import in tex2lyx only.
The test case CJK.tex contained fake tests for shift-jis and big5 (the
japanese and chinese characters were entered using the utf8 encoding), and
therefore the wrong interpretation of these encoding looked as if it worked.
The comments about missing iconv support of shift-jis and big5 were wrong as
well (otherwise shift-jis-plain would not work either).
The fix is basically mechanical, the additional code for fraction like insets
with three arguments was stolen from \unitfrac. As any math package,
stackrel.sty needs a buffer parameter to switch it off.
I also added the two stackrel flavours to the toolbar.
These are all generated by development/tools/generate_symbols_images.py, the
only manual adjustments were renamings due to case sensitive file systems on
windows.
stmaryrd.sty sets these symbols up as variable size math delimiters (i.e.
they may be used with \left and \right). Now LyX knows about that and offers
them in the delimiter dialog as well as single symbols.
The stmaryrd package adds support for lots of math symbols, using a font
designed to accompany the computer modern fonts. The changes in detail:
- Fix generate_symbols_list.py to work with stmaryrd.sty. It loooks like it
was automatically translated from a perl version and never used.
- Generate the new symbols in lib/symbols using generate_symbols_list.py and
add some manual adjustments
- Generate stmary10.ttf by a simple ttf export from stmary10.sfd with fontforge
- Add license info for stmary10.ttf
- Create a test file with all symbols from stmaryrd.sty. Actually it would be
nice to have this for the other fonts as well.
- The mechanics: lyx2lyx, tex2lyx, font machinery etc.
This patch puts all projects into subfolders (at least for MSVS). In this
way, there is a better overview (especially if the number of test projects
will be increasing).
