The command line argument -geometry WIDTHxHEIGHT±XOFF±YOFF
specifies a preferred size and location for the main window.
Currently, this is semi-broken on Windows. Indeed, only
specifying WIDTH and HEIGHT places the main window such that
the left and top borders are invisible such that the window cannot
be moved. Moreover, the XOFF and YOFF parts (when present) are
used to specify the distance of the window from the left and top
or right and bottom edges of the screen, when using '+' or '-',
respectively. However, -geometry 800x600-20-20, instead of placing
the window such that its bottom and right edges are at a distance
of 20 pixels from the corresponding screen edges, places the
window such that its left and top borders are out of the screen.
This is corrected by this commit, which also addresses the fact
that Qt5 does not define Q_WS_WIN anymore.
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.
This makes virtually impossible copying a separator inset whithout
also copying the end of paragraph. These insets are not supposed to
be directly inserted by users. For example, the parbreak version
represents a LaTeX paragraph break, not a LyX one. So, if it is
possible to copy and paste it by alone, an unsespecting user may be
surprised to see a paragraph break in the output but not on the LyX
screen (because of the lack of indentation, for example).
In this way, it also becomes a LyX par break from a user point of
view, not any more useful than simply introducing a par break by
hitting <return> (except in those cases where it makes a difference,
in which case they are automatically inserted by LyX).
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.
Actually the workaround that is used to show parenthesis in the right direction
is not needed any more, since this is part of the unicode bidi writing algorithm.
This fixes at the same time the use of [] or as delimiters in arabic, which was wrong on screen.
Note that there is a problem with hebrew, but this will require a fileformat change.
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.
The conversion from floating point to string performed by
boost:lexical_cast does not allow specifying a precision and,
for example, values such as 0.9 are resturned as 0.899999976.
The standard C++ way for performing the conversion is using
std::ostringstream which is exempt from this problem, even if
less efficient. For the sake of accuracy, boost::lexical_cast
is ditched in favor of the ostrinsgstream implementation.
In C++11 another option would be using std::to_string, but I
think it is not as efficient as the boost way and not worth
implementing through #ifdef's.
Incidentally, this patch would have also fixed#9190 and all
similar cases involving the use of convert<string>(float|double).
When a font is scaled by a certain percentage in the document settings,
LyX was outputting a ridiculous parameter value. For example, if the
font is scaled 90%, the corresponding parameter was "scaled=0.899999976".
The patch avoids this and, in the previous case, one gets "scaled=0.9".
This is not only cosmetic, because in roundtrip conversions the parameter
would be continuosly changing.
This commit and b60b505f should be backported to the 2.1.x branch, where
reimporting with tex2lyx an exported document produces wrong results
(also in version 2.1.0).
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.
This commits (tries to) reintroduce properly the code that was reverted at the beginning of this branch. This had to be done because these patches interefered with the big refactoring of TextMetrics.cpp.
This commit reintroduces the changes to TextMetrics.cpp contained in c668ebf6, c85dbfea9 and 061509bf.
This is handled by Qt now.
Note that a small optimization (do not draw text that is to the left
of WorkArea) is removed because it cannot be guaranteed to be exact
anymore. It was probably not very useful anyway, and would become
useless once the RowPainter is rewritten to use Row information.
Update 00README_STR_METRICS_BRANCH.
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
Moreover, breaks row at insets when there is no suitable separator.
Also make the code of Row::shorten_if_needed somewhat simpler by using
iterators and factoring the code.
Fixes: #9120
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.
Do not cut strings at separators in RowPainter when text is not
justified. This speeds-up painting by reducing the number of strings
to draw.
Do also a modest cleanup of paintChar (remove dubious optimization).
Instead of relying on character range (Hebrew or Arabic) or character
direction, use RLO unicode character (Right-to-Left override) to force
painting in the direction indicated by the current font. This should
be as close as we can to the old LyX behavior (and requires less
code).
If this code works as intended, it will be possible to remove a lot of
code from Encodings.cpp.
We rely on Qt built-in unicode support for handling Arabic and Hebrew
compose characters. This allows to avoid to use our homegrown
machinery.
This should provide a nice speedup at a low cost and
will eventually allow us to get rid of:
* most of our Arabic/Hebrew machinery in Encodings.cpp,
* Paragraph::transformChar,
* and probably more.
All these problems are related to what happens at the extreme points of rows
* since VIRTUAL elements have a width but no contents, they have to
be treated specially at some places. It would have been better to
avoid testing for them explicitly, but I did not find a way.
* Improve and cleanup the code in breakRow and fix in passing a crash
when clicking on the right of an incomplete MARGIN_MANUAL
paragraph.
* improve the computation of row width in TextMetrics::computeRowMetrics.
* handle properly the case where a position if not found on the row
in both cursorX and getPosNearX (actually, this happens when
selecting).
* Some code cleanup and comments.
The fact that the bug was still present in the features/str-metrics
branch comes from a goof in the initial implementation of 'virtual'
row elements (completion and end-of-par markers). Now that this is
corrected, everything works as it should.
The fact that the bug is present in master is due to some other reason
that is not useful to investigate now.
build_script() was already threadsafe, since it used a TempFile, and the
counter was basically not needed, but the new solution makes this obvious
and has the additional advantage that TempFile constructs the real output
file, not a dummy without extension which is not needed.
It was broken in two ways: It was not threadsafe, and it did never detect
any recursion, since the counter was decremented for each non-recursive call
and never incremented again.
This is one of the more important threadsafety issues because of export in
thread and simultanous view source. The solution is ugly, but a better one
(see FIXME) would require major rework. These static variables should not
have been used in the first place IMHO.
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.
In this case I use a mutex, so the zip status of files is shared between
threads. This is possible because a deadlock can't happen, and it should give
better performance.
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.
Without this, you get crashes in a few second when you set the autosave
interval to one second and edit quickly (typing new words etc). The reason
is that the cloned buffer wants to insert words into the word list and
remove them again, but it lives in a different thread.
The compiler-generated copy-constructor and assigment operators would be wrong
for IconvProcessor::Impl, since cd would be copied, and iconv_close() could
thus be called twice on the same descriptor. The old code did work, but now
IconvProcessor::Impl cannot be copied by accident in the future.
The IconvProcessor assignment operator did not delete pimpl_ and used a
non-standard signature. If you want to know why the standard signature is
important, read "Effective C++" by Scott Meyers.
The statement
if (pos < from + lyxrc.completion_minlength)
triggers a signed vs. unsigned warning. I don't know why this happens, it
could be a MSVC bug, or related to LLP64 (windows) vs. LP64 (unix)
programming model, or the C++ standard might be ambigous in the section
defining the "usual arithmetic conversions". However, using a temporary
variable is safe and works on all compilers.
