The number of metrics updates when loading file and showing it in a
new work area is unreasonable.
The first avoided call to updateMetrics() was an explicit resize in
BufferView::init(). Instead, an assertion is suppressed by exiting
early BufferView::processUpdateFlags() when BufferView::ready()
returns false. This is a new method introduced to factor in some
existing tests.
Two other metrics computations are avoided by setting the enclosing
View object busy() while creating the new tab. To make this work
properly, GuiWorkArea::scheduleRedraw has to return early in this
case.
When saving an unnamed document or invoking "Save as...", call
setBusy(false) earlier so that repainting occurs correctly.
Fixes bug #12976.
Replace flag parameter for updateMetrics() by a `force' boolean. When
it is false, the method keeps the metrics of paragraphs that are still
visible in WorkArea instead of computing everything afresh. All it has
to do is update their positions.
Add code to updateMetrics() to update the value of the anchor pit/ypos
(similar to the one in draw()).
Update processUpdateFlags() to use this when update flag is ForceDraw.
Modify scrollDocView() to just change the anchor paragraph position
when the scrolling operation would re-use some of the existing
paragraphs.
The time needed to update the metrics when scrolling with mouse in the
branch-test.lyx document is now divided by 20!
Part of bug #12297.
Add parameter 'force' to scrollToCursor(...) to avoid the case where the
cursor is not set to top because it is already visible on screen.
Change screen offset in this method so that the paragraph is really at
the top of the screen. This part may cause unforeseen issues and needs care.
gotoInset: use the new force flag and do not trigger a redraw.
Instead, return a boolean telling whether redraw is needed.
In the code that use it, set an update flag instead of the extra redraw.
In the handling of paragraph-goto, also set the update flag instead of
triggering a repaint.
Remove Bufferview::scrollToCursor(), which was equivalent to showCursor().
Fixes bug #10425.
Introduce a GUI-less LyXRC member bookmarks_visibility. This is
experimental and will not be documented for 2.4.0. Having the code
present will allow to (1) improve it gradually and (2) fix the many
bookmarks bugs that it exposes.
The corresponding tag is \experimental:bookmarks_visibility, which is
intentionally weird.
Three possible values:
* none: no bookmark display
* margin: display the bookmark in margin
* inline: display the bookmark at cursor position.
The default margin has been made wider so that there is room for the
bookmark. This was necessary anyway. The margin bookmark is now
displayed correctly in full screen with limited text width.
Margin display still needs some improvements when several bookmarks
are on the same row.
Mostly fixes bug #2496.
It is now possible to get a context menu for math insets.
InsetMathSpace was already providing a specific context menu,
but it was never triggered because the math hull inset is not
descendable. It is still so, but now when a context menu is
requested all the insets inside the math hull are examined.
If the inset under the cursor provides a context menu, it
is shown instead of the general math one.
Fixes#12100.
Keep from 907f0207 the introduction of BufferView::top/bottomMargin()
and the setting of the top/bottom margin of the document. The
difference is that the extra height is still added to the relevant
rows, and not only to the paragraph metrics.
Keep from f41ca959 the reduction of top/bottom margin for Adv F&R
workareas.
CaretGeometry is defined as a struct, but was forward-declared as a
class. Now we forward-declare as a struct. This addresses the
following Clang warning (that does not appear with GCC):
src/frontends/CaretGeometry.h:27:1: warning: 'CaretGeometry' defined
as a struct here but previously declared as a class; this is valid,
but may result in linker errors under the Microsoft C++ ABI
[-Wmismatched-tags]
The caret geometry is now computed in BufferView as a list of shapes
(caret, horizontal l-shape if needed, completion triangle if needed)
kept in a variable of type CaretGeometry.
The code in WorkArea.cpp only has to draw these shapes. The
CaretWidget (which never was a widget) in GuiWorkArea.cpp is gone
now.
As a consequence, the bounding box for the cursor is known precisely
and therefore rows should be repainted correctly now. This avoids
caret droppings.
Fixes bug #12024.
Intended changes:
* code is shorter and cleaner
* caret scales better with zoom when cursor_width=0: completion
indicator, l-shaped cursor...
Details:
* Rename BufferView::getPosAndHeight to getPosAndDim because ascent is
needed too and width could in the future be set depending on font.
* Get rid of rect_ in CaretWidget and record a Dimension (and y value) instead.
Remove also caret_width_ and slant_, replace rtl_ with dir.
* Make CaretWidget members public and lose the trailing _.
* change CaretWidget::update to read its parameters from current bufferview.
The 20px space on top and bottom of document have traditionally been
obtained by adding them to the ascent/descent of the first/last row.
This leads to annoyances like selections that are drawn in these
margins and issues with the nesting marker.
The change is to add the value to the ParagraphMetrics ascent/descent
only and to correct one place where the ascent of the first row may be
different from the ascent of the ParagraphMetrcs object. There may be
other places where this should be done.
Fixes bug #9545.
The 20px space on top and bottom of document have traditionally been
obtained by adding the to the ascent/descent of the first/last row.
This reads to annoyances like selections that are drawn in these
margins and issues with the nesting marker.
The change is to add the values to a separate member of the Row
object, and to add new Row::total(Ascent|Descent) methods that add the
effect of this padding.
Moreover, some methods are added to TextMetrics to simplify the
BufferView code.
Fixes bug #9545.
Instead of setting language from context when moving the cursor, set
it to the OS input language. This behavior will probably need to be
controlled by a preference, since not everybody changes keyboard
mapping when changing language.
This required to move BufferView::setCursorLanguage to
Cursor::setLanguageFromInput().
This bug provides two features:
1/ when a new document is created the language is set to the current
keyboard language.
2/ when keyboard is switched at OS level, the input language of
current window is changed. The language is set preferably to one of
those of the document. Ex. if the keyboard changes to en_GB but one
is typing a document in US English and Hebrew, then US English will
be selected rather that adding UK English to the list.
The implementation depends a lot on Qt. The platform status is :
* working on Windows 10
* not working with Linux (although 1/ works with Qt4); it seems that
Qt5 supports switching through ibus, but I do not know what this
means.
* not yet tested on macOS.
This addresses bugs #6450, #6247 and somehow #10514.
It is not a good idea to call caretPosAndHeight when the caret is in a
paragraph that is not in cached metrics. This can happen when not
using "cursor follows scrollbar".
This commit refactor things a bit so that testing is done in
BufferView.
This bug is not in 2.3.x.
The first step is to move the MathRow cache to BufferView, alongside
coordCache. This was on the todo list anyway, since it allows to let
go the math row information when the math equation is not on the
screen anymore. With the old scheme, it would always remain in memory.
Then, when computing caret size in MathData::metrics, make sure that
the mathrow of the elements that are linearized in the MathRow object
get their caret size information initialized too.
Fixes bug #11587.
Instead of remembering the caret ascent and descent for the cell that contains the cursor, the new code remembers caret dimension for each MathRow object. This makes the code much less fragile (ans slightly smaller).
This fixes caret size issues when the Update::SinglePar flag is active.
Fixes bug #11541.
The goal of this commit is to simplify the logic in TextMetrics::draw.
Now, rows are repainted depending on their changed() status.
Instead of checking whether rows have been scrolled horizontally at
draw time, the code marks the row as changed when testing for
horizontal scrolling.
To this end a new method TestMetrics::setRowChanged is added, that
searches a row in the text metrics cache and marks it changed if
found.
The old code that remembered the previously scrolled row can now be
removed.
Compute a height from current font and current cell vertical
dimensions in MathData::metrics(), because this is where current font
is known.
Introduce BufferView::setCaretAscentDescent to remember this value.
This mechanism is not used for text because Cursor::current_font is
restored by undo, and the caret height would not be changed then. But
in principle it is doable.
The new code is much simpler: what it does is, after redrawing has
been done, to mark the cursor row as changed, so that it will be
repainted on next paint event.
This avoids some crashes at the price of possibly repainting the row
when it was not necessary.
The function does not use for now any information from the BufferView
(only lyxrc), but this should eventually change if we want to honor
multi monitor setups properly.
The goal of this commit is to ensure that a processUpdateFlags call
that requires no redraw will not override a previous one that did
require a redraw.
To this end, the semantics of the flag argument is now different: its
value is now OR'ed with a private update_flags_ variable. This
variable is only reset after the buffer view has actually been
redrawn.
A new Update::ForceRedraw flag has been added. It requires a full
redraw but no metrics computation. It is not used in the main code
(yet), but avoids to compute metrics repeatedly in consecutive
processUpdateFlags calls.
The process is now as follows:
- if flags is just None, return immediately, there is nothing to do.
- the Force flag is honored (full metrics computation) and replaced
with ForceDraw.
- the FitCursor flag is honored and removed from the flags.
- the SinglePar update is added if ForceDraw is not in flags and only
the current par has been modified.
The remaining flags are only then added to the BufferView update
flags, and the update strategy is computed for the next paint event.
Finally the dubious call to updateMacros in updateMetrics has been
removed for performance reasons.

The current spelling is not strictly wrong, but flagged as unusual or
historical by some authorities. It is also found fault with many
spell checkers. Thus we decided to move to the more standard "-ible"
form once and for all.
See #10678 for discussion
This part only covers the usage in comments and the like. More to follow.
This will all also all be backported to 2.3.x, for the sake of backwards
compatibility (cherry-picking).
The trick is to remember in BufferView what has been done at the
previous draw, so that the row that contained the caret can be
repainted if needed.
To this end, add an argument paint_caret to BufferView, although
painting the caret is not the job of the BufferView (at this point).
BufferView::needRepaint will act as an interface with
TextMetrics::drawParagraph to know whether the painting of a given
row should be forced.
Currently everything is done at the top row level, so that, if the
caret is in a large table, the whole table will have to be repainted.
It is not clear yet that this is necessary.
Normally the two stages of drawing are
1/ compute metrics of insets/rows/paragraphs/mathrow...
2/ draw the elements and cache their positions
Now the three stages are
1/ metrics
2/ nodraw: do not draw the elements, but cache their position
3/ draw the elements (and store again their position; it does not
seems to hurt performance).
Revive the NullPainter: this replaces the setDrawingEnabled mechanism
with a painter that does nothing. The advantage is that updatePosCache
(renamed from setPosCache) does not need anymore to be invoked from
the frontend.
updatePosCache (the nodraw stage) is called at the end of
BufferView::updateMetrics.
Length::inPixels(MetricsBase const &) and VSpace::inPixels(BufferView
const &) should be moved respectuvely to MetricsBase and BufferView:
core file are not supposed to use GUI files.
