This can lead to mistakes. If no buffer is required at the beginning,
it is better to pass 'nullptr' explicitly.
Fix a case of missing parameter in GuiCompleter (introduced at
f3656600). This avoids some spurious "There is no group open (creating
one)" messages.
Fixes for bug #11428. Emphasis is used regularly and it is helpful to
see whether the next text will be written emphasized directly from the
cursor.
This is also implemented in MS Word and Google docs but not in
LibreWriter.
Also fixes the caret for RTL languages whose width was previously
extended into the wrong direction.
Instead of working around crashes in update of caret geometry, only
request it as needed. The actual computation will take place just
before painting the caret.
It might be that this is overkill and that caret geometry should be
updated unconditionally. One would have to to some timing while idle to
ascertain that.
Fixes bug #11912.
The rules for typesetting math differ from the rules for typesetting
text. For example, two italic 'f' chars have to be typeset more closely
than two 'o' chars in text mode, but not in math mode. Qt provides a
method that returns the distance appropriate for drawing a subsequent
character in text mode, but nothing for math mode. Typically, the
distance appropriate for drawing the next character in math mode is
the actual width span by the character, corrected by the rules of
an appendix in the TeXbook. Recently, those rules are followed more
closely in LyX but not exactly, and we have to find a way to adapt to them.
Some symbols may need more spacing around them than the width they span.
So, we use the distance suggested by Qt, unless it is less than the
width of the rectangle bounding the symbol. Before Qt 5.11 the used method
was QFontMetrics::width(), but since then it has been declared obsolete
in favor of QFontMetrics::horizontalAdvance(), whose name conveys better
its meaning.

When the fonts distributed with texlive with same family name
as ours are also managed by fontconfig, Qt is not able to
discriminate ours by the style only. In order to be sure Qt
will load our fonts, we change the foundry name from 'PfEd'
to 'LyEd' and augment the font family name with this foundry
name. This only works on *nix, because adding a foundry name
seemingly breaks things on Windows. However, this is a *nix
only problem, seemingly.
This restores the debug output as it was intended before the
introduction of the LYXERR macro that was unconditionally outputing
an end of line. This is how this output was appearing until lyx 1.5:
Looking for font family cmr10 ... got: cmr10
got it normal!
instead of as it was since lyx 1.6 and until now:
Looking for font family cmr10 ...
got: cmr10
got it
normal!
Using US english desktop language LyX's Mac OS adds some items to the view menu:
1. Show/Hide Tab Bar and
2. Enter Full Screen
These items won't work properly and it's better to hide them.
Mac OS adds two extra menu entries to the edit menu.
These menu items are:
1. Start Dictation...
2. Emoji & Symbols
Both menu items don't work with LyX.
Therefore they shouldn't be present and the new code hides them.
Both QTextLine::naturalTextWidth() and QTextLine::horizontalAdvance()
return the same value for \fint. However, examining esint10.ttf with
fontforge does not reveal any issue with the metrics. The fact that
\fint seems to be the only affected symbol might be due to its code
point, which corresponds to a space, so that maybe Qt makes some
assumptions on the metrics.
As QTextLine::naturalTextWidth() returns the width of the line that is
occupied by text, in the case of a single symbol we can obtain the
same value by using the width of the rectangle bounding the symbol.
Currently tested:
- url & doi fields for bibtex.
- all documented eprinttypes of biblatex
- absolute paths of first entry of 'file' field for jabref and kbibtex
- external script searching for author + year pdf
Additional polishing will follow.
