This was a regression from 2.1.x. I failed to copy the horrible hack that was present for the special case of () in Hebrew.
There is a real need for someone who understands RTL language stuff to fix this. Currently () are wrong in .lyx files IMO. We should not have to swap them for display.
This removes the old implementation of Cursor::getSurroundingPos, that has been superceded in commit .
As this was the last user of the Bidi class, this can be removed too.
Use the function support:truncateWithEllipsis() to shorten a docstring with
... at the end. Actually we use U+2026 HORIZONTAL ELLIPSIS instead of "..." when
automatically shortening strings. This is to be consistent with Qt's own
truncation and is much nicer on the screen.
This includes the bugs #9575 and #9572 regarding broken text elision in the
outliner.
Known issues (non-regressions):
* TocBackend::updateItem() should be rewritten to update all TOCs. (#8386)
* "..." should be replaced with … everywhere else on the interface (including
translation strings).
* We should prefer to rely on QFontMetrics::elidedText() to truncate strings
with an ellipsis whenever possible, or an equivalent for the buffer view
dependent on the font metrics. See the warning in src/support/lstrings.h.
This is a work in progress intended to start collective work towards improving the performance of our painting process.
The intent is to make it a living document that is updated as code evolves.
* TexRow now computes rows from a DocIterator. In practice, the cursor
highlighting is now correct inside insets, it is no longer restricted to the
topmost level. It certainly also makes forward-search more precise.
* Added the option to disable a texrow when not needed, for perf.
* Fixed a bug where the last paragraph was not properly highlighted.
Limitations:
* TexRow still does not handle: math (e.g. multi-cell), sub-captions, inset
arguments.
* New TOC "math-macro". This means that math macros can now be accessed in the
outline pane in their order of appearance or in alphabetical order, and can be
searched using the filter.
* Lists of floats now show subfloats deeper in the navigation menu
* The arbitrary 30 element cut-off after which nothing is shown except "Open
Navigator..." is removed. Menus now have no limit in size, so Qt may display
them scrollable. In exchange, we always show "Open outliner..." at the
beginning. I tested for performance issues with a rather complex document and
it is fine; but this does not exclude corner cases with lots of TOC entries of
a certain kind. If necessary, populating the navigation sub-menu should be
delayed like the main menu.
* Elements that do not contribute to the output (e.g. in a note, a disabled
branch) are now preceded with a symbol indicating this status. (The machinery
was already there; I wonder why it was not implemented already.) I have chosen
U+274E NEGATIVE SQUARED CROSS MARK.
* Fix the contextual menus in the outliner (bug introduced at 94e992c5).
* Toc item now move to the caption when present, but first center on the float,
to prevent the situation where the caption is at the top of the screen and the
contents of the float is off-screen above the caption.
(Internally, the action of the toc items can now be customised)
* Fix the LyXHTML output. Disabled captions no longer appear in the list of
figures.
Remove unwanted clearSelection()s in MathData::updateMacros(). These calls broke
text selection with keyboard and mouse, search-and-replace, restoring selection
after Undo, etc. in a document with math macros since 1.6.0. (Regression at
6aa54673 and 12314897)
I do not know the purpose of these calls, but the selection code has been worked
on since, and I cannot produce undesired behaviour after removing
them.
New method TextMetrics::findRowElement, excerpted from CursorX.
Reimplement getSurroundingPos using Row information. This is easy when
the cursor is inside a row element. At row element edges, different
situations can occur; hopefully all these situations are taken into
account.
Rename the old getSurroundingPos to getSurroundingPosOrig and
transform getSurroundingPos into a wrapper that compares the two
methods. This will be removed when we are confident that the new
function is equivalent to the old one.
It will then be possible to remove also the Bidi class (at last!).
Only enable std::regex when the header <regex> is present (fix Mac OS X issue).
Remove support for concept checks. The page
https://gcc.gnu.org/onlinedocs/libstdc++/manual/concept_checking.html
says about concept checking:
Please note that the checks are based on the requirements in the
original C++ standard, many of which were relaxed in the C++11
standard and so valid C++11 code may be incorrectly rejected by the
concept checks. Additionally, some correct C++03 code might be
rejected by the concept checks, for example template argument types
may need to be complete when used in a template definition, rather
than at the point of instantiation. There are no plans to address
these shortcomings.
Therefore it seems reasonable to remove our support for this.
In general this would lead to an immediate runtime crash because the
runtime checks of libstdc++ change the layout of some STL objects.
Therefore, this will only work when the boost libraries have been
compiled with this same flag. At this time, it is not known whether
any linux distribution contains such libraries.
Fixes bug #9736.
- the long awaited MiKTeX installer is available, this fixes many installation errors in LyX is installed for the first time (I will provide a new installer build as soon as I find more time)
There are still a few warnings of the kind
(style) Variable 'x' is assigned a value that is never used.
since I did not touch code where I was not sure whether there might be a real
bug, and I kept some for symmetry reasons as well.
