This is not perfect, since variable width columns will break at a certain
treshold, but it is better than what we have now (no tabular width
indication at all)
This effectively enables linebreaks, multipars and layout changes in
non-fixed width (i.e., standard) table columns.
Fixes: #6577
TODO: metrics are wrong (too wide) on screen with linebreaks.
The only exceptions are:
- The purpose of the header is to drag in the used symbol, e.g. unique_ptr.h
- The used symbol is inside a class or a namespace other than lyx
The reason for this is that global 'using' statements effectively forbid to
use the used symbols in any other namespace in the whole program, since simply
adding or removing an #include of the corresponding header subtly changes the
name lookup. The namespace lyx is sort of global, so it should not have these
statements either.
* Inset::canTrackChange() had two meanings: can it deal with change tracking?
Will it paint its own CT status? The latter information is now given by
Inset::canPaintChange().
* Line thickness computation is moved from RowPainter to MetricsBase.
* Painting function for Changes moved to lyx::Change. (One new, that strikes
diagonally.)
inset-select-all has 3 levels
1. select current cell
2. select all cells
3. select inset from outside.
The second level makes sense for tables (text and math), but not for things like a math fraction.
Introduce a new method Inset::isTable() that allows to detect this case properly and skip level 2.
This is done by implementing the clickable method. It is not possible yet to have the usual left and down arrows, because Qt does not implement them as far as I can see.
Factor the code that triggers row/column selection and fix the logic. Now it is possible to select also at the right of the tabular inset.
Since the low-level version of tabular features is only called by the high-level one, it does not make sense to record undo there. It is much better to do it once in the high-level handler, rather than 37 times (yes!) at lower level when the tabular GUI calls tabular-feature with all the settings at once.
With large tables, this avoids to keep 37 copies of the table in Undo stack.
As an added bonus, this fixes bug #9960.
The tabular-features LFUN was merged with "inset-modify tabular" when
simplifying the tabular dialog at b5049e7. This choice later indirectly caused a
few regressions (#7308, #9794).
I reintroduce tabular-feature to allow more flexibility for user
commands, whereas "inset-modify tabular" is now reserved for the tabular
dialog. In particular, inset-modify tabular is no longer caught by math grid
insets. The name tabular-feature is kept to avoid renaming icons.
Known issues:
* After successfully applying a tabular command, the cursor is truncated to the
table.
* Note that the tabular dialog still has similar issues that are inherited from
the achitecture of the dialog menu. For instance the pref change can be
mis-dispatched to an inset inside a cell and cause an error, for instance:
Lexer.cpp (934): Missing 'Note'-tag in InsetNote::string2params. Got
tabular instead. Line: 0
Maybe the inset-modify LFUN should be modified to treat commands coming from
the wrong dialog (by checking the type) as unknown and undispatched so that
the parent can get it. In that case a non AtPoint variant of inset-modify
could be reintroduced in order to generalise tabular-feature. See:
http://mid.gmane.org/n4rdk1$efj$1@ger.gmane.org
* 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.
Rely only on InsetText::allowMultipar() to get this information.
Implement this method for InsetTabular and InsetBox.
Also rely on this method for disabling LFUN_PARAGRAPH_BREAK.
This implement horizontal scrolling of rows to allow editing insets
(math, tabular...) that are larger then the screen. The scrolling happens
as the cursor moves, in order to make sure that the cursor is always visible.
This effectively closes an 11 years old bug.
This feature is the result of the work of Hashini Senaratne as part of
Google Summer of Code 2013. The code has been cleaned-up for inclusion
and remaining bugs have been fixed.
Fixes bug: #1083.
Investigation of bug #9236 showed that crash to be due to a Paragraph's
holding a dangling pointer to an old and deleted Layout after the
DocumentClass was reset. Since the backtraces look almost identical, it
seems likely that we have the same problem here.
Since this crash seems almost always to involve tables, I looked at the
code in switchBetweenClasses() and found that the Paragraphs that belong
to "hidden" table cells are not seen by the initial recursion using a
ParIterator: It skips right over them. This was confirmed by test code
suggested by Enrico, with results reported in Trac.
The present patch attempts to deal with this problem in the second
recursion, over Insets. When we see an InsetTabular, we call a new
routine that recurses through the cells, looking for hidden ones. If it
finds a hidden one, it then resets the Layout for the cell's Paragraphs
(there should be only one, but we do not make any assumptions) to the
PlainLayout that belongs to the new DocumentClass. This is good enough,
since such cells never have content.
There is extensive discussion of the patch here:
https://www.mail-archive.com/lyx-devel@lists.lyx.org/msg185095.html
Additional testing by Enrico and me confirmed the existence of the
dangling pointer.
Don't create an intermediate copy (found by Jean-Marc).
I doubt that this has anything to do with the mystery crash, but it works, and
following the standard patterns is better anyway.
Multirow cells now have the same alignment rendering in LyX
as in the output. The alignment of a multirow can change as
long as the column is not of fixed width. If the column is
of fixed width, the multirow is left-aligned.
When setting a multirow, the alignment is copied from
the last cell in the selection.
and Cursors. So just calling InsetText::addToToc for the cells causes
problems, because InsetText::addToToc then adds the cell inset itself
as part of the DocIterator. This then leads to assertions, such as bug
The solution is to refactor InsetText::addToToc so that we can call the
iterating part without adding the inset.
so we can write a limited amount when using this for TOC and
tooltip output.
This should solve the problem with slowness that Kornel noticed,
which was caused by our trying to write an entire plaintext
bibliography every time we updated the TOC. We did that because
he had a bibliography inside a branch, and we use plaintext for
creating the tooltip that goes with the branch list.
Other related bugs were fixed along the way. E.g., it turns out
that, if someone had an InsetInclude inside a branch, then we would
have been writing a *plaintext file* for that inset every time we
updated the TOC. I wonder if some of the other reports of slowness
we have received might be due to this kind of issue?
This patch implements 'move row' and 'move column' features for tabular.
The purpose is to provide a useful behavior in tabular that is
consistent with PARAGRAPH_MOVE_UP and PARAGRAPH_MOVE_DOWN so that the
user can, for example, do alt-<up> to move a row up. Alternatively,
icons for these features are also added to the table toolbar and
context menu.
If there is any selection, the feature is disabled. This is consistent
with how PARAGRAPH_MOVE_UP works in other contexts. Additionally, 'move
row' is disabled if there is a multi-row in the current or target row;
and 'move column' is disabled if there is a multi-column in the current
or target column.
'move row' moves only the left and right borders of a cell along with
the row. Similarly, 'move column' moves only the the top and bottom
borders.
Implementing similar functionality for other insets, such as arrays and
array environments, is on my TODO list.
