removeShortcut() restores default settings, therefore was used incorrectly. I
introduce deactivateShortcuts() which only removes assignments.
Clean up a bit the lack of view / model distinction (getting rid of the crashing
code at the same time).
Repair inconsistency of the selection in the "modify" case. (regression at
717d19d3c)
Make the test for existing bindings a bit more robust. (Not perfect yet.)
Focus on the item that has just been added/modified. (cosmetic)
When an inset is separated from the adjacent string by a space, it is
reasonable to be able to break the string after the space.
Unfortunately, QTextLayout does not do that.
This patch reverts the workaround inserted in 71378268 and replaces it
with a different trick: the string is enlosed between a pair of
zero-width non breaking space characters, so that the leading/trailing
spaces are now normal spaces, where QTextLayout will agree to break
the string.
Fixes bug #9921 for good.
* Increase LyX format
* New function convert_info_insets in lyx2lyx_tools.py
Use this function in the future for future updates of info insets
* Convert "inset-modify tabular" to "tabular-feature" in info insets
* Remove icon naming hack regarding "inset-modify tabular"
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
whose children is also a child of another buffer, then try to close that
one.
The problem is that we do not check properly to make sure that the child
is not a child of some other buffer. Now we do.
At d449e7e6 it has been decided that submenus are going to be displayed even if
all their items are disabled. Here we make an exception for OptSubmenus.
Example of submenu no longer shown: Insert > Insert Regexp
Example of submenu always shown: Edit > Math > Limit Type, Macro Definition
After d5a5fbb8, as indicated in the commit log, it remained to make sure that
the sub-menus of the navigation menu showing the TOCs are generated in a delayed
fashion, to avoid corner cases regarding performance when documents have very
lengthy tocs (e.g. in a document with 1000 sections it takes a few hundreds
milliseconds for the menu to be refreshed). But this idea actually requires
substantial changes to the way menus are computed, so it is not for now.
In the meanwhile, I reintroduce a max size for menus, after which it is cut
off. This differs from the one that I removed at d5a5fbb8 in two ways: 1) if
there are more items than the max size, then we still show something instead of
nothing, 2) we allow ourselves to rely on qt's scrollable menus and therefore
allow bigger menus than before the above commit. The philosophy is that it is
better to show something than nothing, that it's better to show a scrollable
menu than to cut the menu to fit the screen, and that beyond a certain size the
scrollable menu becomes useless anyways.
It is a bad idea to have a QObject variable that oulives the main QApplication object. See for example:
https://www.ics.com/designpatterns/book/globals.html
Here the QTextLayout object was static to the anonymous namespace getTextLayout function, and got destroyed after the freetype renderer had been disposed of by QApplication.
This causes segmentation faults when quitting LyX on some systems.
This patch moves the cache together with other GuiFontMetrics caches. It means that one will have one such QTextLayout per font type, but this will not change much.
This crude caching mecanism is useful in the particular case of a screen with many misspelling dotted lines. In this case, it is necessary to build a QTextLayout in order to know where to put the start/end of the spell line. Since rows typically contains text snippets longer than a word, we may be in a situation where the same QTextLayout is constructed repeatedly.
This commit is useful in this particular use case, and should not be costly in other cases. A better fix would be to remember the QTextLayout associated to each row element. This is a bit more work, so this fix should be sufficient for now.
Additionally, do not paint misspelled marks when painting is disabled.
Fixes bug #9890.
Previews are now generated when previews are turned on in
preferences. This change ensures that when users activate previews
for the first time, they are not confused by no previews showing up
(a restart of LyX or a triggering of each individual preview would
be required).
There was a previously attempted fix for #9507 at 390ae054 which was
reverted at 358745d0 for performance reasons: it updated previews
after every preference change and updating previews is costly (even
if the cache signals there are no changes needed).
This implementation is consistent with what we do for updating the
system fonts in preferences.
boost::regex supports escape sequences starting with a backslash in format
strings of regex_replace, but std::regex does not. Therefore format strings
involving literal backslashes have to be written differently for both flavours.
The special MSVC handling in regex.h is removed, since it is not needed
anymore, and using grep syntax would definitely be wrong.
This is better because it implements a LRU cache. Indeed, while editing in particular, width of many different strings has to be computed. This is different from the previous situation where only width of single characters was computed and cached.
The referenced commit lead to performance issues and possibly
crashes in some cases when saving preferences. Thanks to Guillaume
for discovering the issues. See #9828 for more discussion.
I hope to come up with a better fix for #9507.
This reverts commit 390ae05444.
This is one part of bug 9744: If you toggle between TeX fonts and non-TeX
fonts, the settings of the other choice are no longer thrown away, but stored
and re-activated if you switch back. Most parts of the patch are purely
mechanical (duplicating some BufferParams members), the only non-mechanical
change is in the GUI logic.
The code in InsetTabular disables the toolbar icons and menu entries related to vertical lines.
The code in GuiTabular disables vertical lines in the Settings dialog.
Note that there was a bug in
GuiSetBorders::set(Left|Right|Top|Bottom)Enabled, where the borders
did not get drawn correctly.
Fixes bug #9816
Starting with Qt 5 the modifiers aren't reported correctly for disabled swap.
Until this is fixed it is corrected by reverting the modifier mask to check for.
The horizontal alignment changes caused a regression for documents in older
formats. This could have been fixed by adding the following lines to the
format entry for 489 in development/FORMAT:
Previously, the horizontal position was ignored except for the
following parameter combinations:
- fixed width and type Boxed and without inner box
- fixed width and any type and with inner box and with makebox
Now, it is also used for the parameter combination below:
- makebox is not used and not (type Boxed and without inner box)
and a corresponding conversion to convert_BoxFeatures() in
lib/lyx2lyx/lyx_2_2.py. However, it was decided to revert the box alignment
changes instead: The box alignment can contradict the paragraph alignment. A
better way to avoid the additional space that can be created by paragraph
alignment (which was the motivation for implementing box alignment) is the
same as for table cells (see noTrivlistCentering() in src/Paragraph.cpp).
This would be a file format change and it is too late now for 2.2.0.
See http://www.mail-archive.com/lyx-devel@lists.lyx.org/msg188147.html for the
complete discussion (subject "Regression in lyx2lyx box alignment").
The culprit was that the computation of textwidth did not take wordspacing in account.
Also fictor the code so that the pixmap path can use the special RTL handling.
It is not clear however that the handling of left and right bearing works correctly.
These features are active in DEVEL_VERSION when Debug is set to LATEX.
1. The TexRow information is prepended to the source panel.
2. Clicking on any line in the source triggers reverse search. (This would be an
interesting feature to implement on the user side, but we need a proper LFUN.)
Found by cppcheck: (style) Same expression on both sides of '&&'.
I deduced the correct if-condition from the other places where theLaTeXFonts()
is called.
These were found by cppcheck:
Member variable 'x' is not initialized in the constructor.
The crash #9788 would not have happened if this had been done earlier.
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.
* 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.
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.
This fixes cppcheck warnings (style) 'class x' does not have a copy constructor
which is recommended since the class contains a pointer to allocated memory.
These were all flagged by "(style) The scope of the variable 'x' can be reduced."
Narowing the scope improves readability, and if it is in a loop then the
compiler will be clever enough to produce efficient code, we do not need
manual optimization for POD types.
This generalises the new use of TocBuilder (97e8101) to listings and wraps and
removes some duplicate code.
Make sure that we will never write an empty float type again in the future
(#9760)
We introduce TocBuilder for building TOCs that take into account both float
insets and their captions.
* Floats without caption are shown with their content.
* Floats with a caption are shown with their caption, but clicking the entry now
correctly moves to the float and not to the caption.
* Subsequent captions produce additional entries in the TOC.
* Figures and subfigures are correctly ordered in the outliner.
* New TOC "senseless" for captions appearing alone (a bit like broken references
are still displayed in the menu and outliner).
* Disable LFUN_CAPTION_INSERT if there is already a caption in a listing
Known issues:
* Inconsistent output for includes located inside floats
* We should record the end of the float in addition of the beginning for a more
accurate cursor -> outliner entry conversion
These were all found by cppcheck. Even in constructors that are there "only
because of std containers" the class should be initialized correctly. You can
never know whether such an object does not get used, and then a nice crash
caused by dereferencing a NULL-pointer is better than undefined behaviour.
Fix bugs #6501 and #7359.
* Selection highlighting has been broken since a conflict with
reverse-search was repaired (at 00a62b7c), is now fixed.
* The selection highlighting was not accurate, for LaTeX formats (in
full source view), and meaningless, for non LaTeX formats.
* fix regression at cc00b9aa: force_getcontent_ was always true
therefore the code to detect changes in the generated source was
dead. The consequence is that the source view would jump to the
beginning at each updateView() even if no change occurred. Cc00b9aa
was meant to fix#5600, which I cannot reproduce with the new
implementation.
* Various improvements:
* When the position-to-line conversion is unavailable (LyXHTML, LyX
source, etc.) we focus on the first difference instead.
* Get some space around the cursor
* Respect the scrollbars
* Highlight with QTextEdit::ExtraSelections instead of cursor
selection (the latter used to break syntax highlighting of the
TeX code... which was not so much of an issue before because the
wrong part was selected)
Known issues:
* The highlighting is off by one line in very last paragraph of a
document. This appears to be a bug in TexRow.cpp.
* The highlighting is off for any kind of inset. This could be
solved by adapting TexRow so that it accepts CursorSlices as
and argument for the conversion to line number. (this is bug
#4725)
Fix bug #9493. The source panel was very slow with auto-update on. Now
we use a timer that ensures that the source is generated only at
rest. The delay is short or long depending on whether we show the
source of a paragraph or the whole source.
* GuiFontMetrics::pos2x, x2pos: add support for inter-word spacing.
* GuiPainter::text: idem
* Row::Element::countSeparators:
Row::countSeparators: new methods that count spaces in strings.
Row::setSeparatorExtraWidth: new method (code lifted from TextMetrics.cpp).
* TextMetrics::computeRowMetrics: rely on the above methods.
* RowPainter::paintMispelledMarked: pass only a Row::Element object reference
RowPainter::paintStringAndSel: idem; do not rely on values returned by
Painter::text (trailing spaces do not honor wordspacing value).
The goal of this commit is to make painting faster by reducing the
number of strings to paint. To this end, it is necessary to include
spaces in row elements.
Also importantly, this commit should fix existing problems with line
breaking in chinese text.
* TextMetrics::breakRow: do not do anything special for word separators.
* Row::add: when adding a character to a row element, keep the string
width updated. If need be, it is possible to tweak this by updating
every 10 characters, for example.
* GuiFontMetrics::breakAt (new): use QTextLayout to break text either
at word boundary or at an arbitrary width.
* Row::Element::breakAt: use the above method.
* Row::shortenIfNeeded: simplify now that because there is no need for
handling separator elements. This will be taken care of by the
improved breakAt.
Two things remain to be done:
* remove all traces of separator row element
* re-implement text justification.
When adding units to the external inset bounding box I overlooked that
InsetGraphics supports only bb, cm, mm and in. Therefore I added too many
units for the external insets. We are not as strict as the graphics inset
and allow all absolute units, but no relative ones.
This brings the external inset on par with the graphics insets as far as the
clipping option is concerned. The graphicxs package supports both: A bounding
box without units (which means that bp ia assumed), and a bounding box with
units, so we can simply output the values including the units.
Being able to compile document with zipped .eps files was a useful feature of
the graphicxs package 20 years ago, but the LyX support is no longer relevant:
- The flag is ignored if preview is on
- If pdflatex is used then uncompressing happens during the compilation anyway
- If set, the flag prevents LyX from issuing proper error messages if
something with the image is wrong
- For hard disk capacities from 20 years ago not uncompressing is a useful
feature, but for current hard disk capacities it does not matter
- The external inset does not have it, and if we want to merge both insets
one day we would need to implement it there, which is even more difficult
than in InsetGraphics
Since commit 7ac70092, lyx::dispatch returns a DispatchResult const &,
which is ignored in the cases below. Nevertheless, the windows
compiler complains that it does not know this type. Gcc and clang can
deal with it without problem.
Now the minibuffer toolbar is "auto" by default. It is opened by
command-execute (M-x) and closed when the command is executed without error.
* make lyx::dispatch return a DispatchResult struct
* there is a new MINIBUFFER type of toolbar, that can be used for this use.
* remove special handling of M-x in minnibuffer; Escape can be used instead. Fix focus in this case.
* when minibuffer toolbar is "auto", make the toolbar close itself after
- a command has been executed without error
- an empty command has been executed
- the Escape key has been used
[this is actually commit fdcff02a, which was later reverted at dd61d8cf]
There is a second solution in the code which uses some undocumented Qt
stuff, but it does not work in some cases. The best is to rely on the
documented way.
There is no need for real-valued line width in painters. Actually, this even leads to uneven dashes for continuous spell checker.
The new code is supposed to be equivalent to the old one, just more readable. From this, we can try to see whether some lines need to be made thicker on HiDPI screens.
This effectively makes the horizontal size policy "minimum", which
makes it clear that there is no advantage for this widget of
increasing the horizontal size past the minimum, allowing other
GUI elements to use the horizontal space if useful.
This change for caseCB is consistent with wordsCB and searchbackCB.
Now the minibuffer toolbar is "auto" by default. It is opened by
command-execute (M-x) and closed when the command is executed without error.
* make lyx::dispatch return a DispatchResult struct
* there is a new MINIBUFFER type of toolbar, that can be used for this use.
* remove special handling of M-x in minnibuffer; Escape can be used instead. Fix focus in this case.
* when minibuffer toolbar is "auto", make the toolbar close itself after
- a command has been executed without error
- an empty command has been executed
- the Escape key has been used
The horizontal size policy is now set to "MinimumExpanding", which
means that sizeHint() is enforced as a minimum, but that the widget
can make use of extra available space.
Before, the size policy was ignored, and often resulted in a
scrunched pane that had to have its size manually increased.
The symptom of the bug is that the preference could be incorrectly
displayed (based on the value of the statusbar preference).
This seems to have been a copy/paste mistake introduced in 214f7ed2.
Actually, the change is done only if the cursor language was the
document language already.
This fixes an trivial but annoying problem: create a new file (in
English), change language to your favourite language, then start to
write. Before this fix, the words come out in English, which does not
make sense.
Fixes bug #9586.
A new preference is introduced for allowing the record of the document
directory path in the saved file. Without explicit consent, it is not saved.
If the origin tag contains an invalid/wrong path or garbage, LyX behaves
exactly as before, i.e., included files are simply not found.
Create new helper class UndoGroupHelper, which simplifies a lot the
handling of undo groups in cases like this one. The class tracks open
undo buffers and allows to switch buffers transparently.
Using the class for advanced search and replace is trivial. THe class
may be useful in some other classes.
Fixes ticket #8658
Add a new tag HasGuiSupport to language file. Add it for all l10ns
that we currently ship. The po files that are unused are not currently
tagged as available, but this could be done, since the code later
checks that the translation is actually there.
This new information is used in GuiPrefs when populating the language
combox.
The new scheme implies that adding a new language is now a two-step
process:
* the language code has to be added to po/LINGUAS, as before;
* one of the entries of the lib/language file has to be selected as
reference and be given the "HasGuiSupport true" property.
LaTeX lengths must not use scientific notation, since the + sign has a
different meaning (glue lengths). This is the GUI part of bug 9416,
on top of part 1 [59e4d16ab/lyxgit].
There were now 2 entries named "none" in backgroundcolorCO
- delete the fixmes; the LateX name is used as parameter to save unnecessary conversions for the LateX output; please ask me before adding fixmes
stupid me, I used a translatable string as box parameter. Therefore the feature only worked correctly with English locale. Now it works for every locale.
The "save-as" part of the bug is fixed by extending the \textclass tag
such that, if a local layout file is used, its path relative to the
document directory is now stored together with the name. If a relative
path cannot be used, an absolute one is used but, in this case, the
document is not usable on a different platform.
The "copy" part is fixed by introducing a new \origin tag, which is
written when the file is saved. This tag stores the absolute path of
the document directory. If the document is manually copied to a
different location, the local layout file is retrivied by using
\origin (which is only updated on save).
This new tag may prove useful also for locating other files when the
document is manually moved to a different directory.
As in the original implementation the files needed for the layout
(for example, a latex class) had to be in the same directory as the
layout file, this directory has also to be added to TEXINPUTS.
The problem was due to the use of the wrong symbol for the slash.
The zero-width symbol for the \not operator was being used.
Using TeX fonts for all symbols gives now a better uniform look.
It is not possible using the alternative code even with Qt 5.4.1
because some glyphs are still missing.
Note that I move the definition of cur up because we need to check if
it changed before the return. I also removed the const because
notifyCursorLeavesOrEnters() requires that.
This commit probably fixes other issues for any inset that defines
notifyCursorLeaves().
This fixes only part of #6173.
Normally the theBufferList().updatePreviews(); statement would go inside
of PrefDisplay::applyRC. However, that would not work well because
Buffer::updatePreviews() calls loader() which conditions on
(lyxrc.preview == LyXRC::PREVIEW_OFF) but the new RC has not been set at
this point.
Control + Shift + PgDn now moves a tab to the right.
Control + Shift + PgUp now moves a tab to the left.
These keybindings are consistent with Chromium, Firefox,
Nautilus, and gnome-terminal.
Note that I allow for wrapping. This is consistent with
allowing wrapping for buffer-{next,previous}, but there
might be reasons to disable it in the future.
buffer-next and buffer-previous are now only enabled
if there is more than one tab. Note that it does not
matter whether we are at the first or last tab because
we cycle.
Since the logout process still can be canceled here, we should only
check that all dirty buffers are saved and that the session state is
recorded.
Please test, particularly on Windows and OSX, that logging out with LyX
running (both with and without dirty buffers) proceeds sensibly and that
the LyX session is correctly restored when you re-login.
Building on cd8be655, we still allow viewing a produced PDF even if
there were compilation errors. However, now the user must click the
"Show Output Anyway" button in the LaTeX Errors dialog. The reason
is that before, there was a chance that the user would not realize
there was an error (because the PDF would be shown over the error
dialog). The approach in this commit makes it more clear that there
is an error.
A new LFUN is introduced, LFUN_BUFFER_VIEW_CACHE. It is useful not
just for the implementation of the "Show Output Anyway" button, but
also to show the last compiled version of a document, which can save
time if a document takes a long time to compile (e.g. heavy use of
knitr).
* Disable "New Inset" button
* Do not disable line edits, but use setReadOnly instead (this allows copying contents)
Fixes: #9408
Note that some dialogs still need some care.
The computation of length on screen depend in particular of the computation of the size of an em. Many places of the code used to rely on the width of the M character, which is not really correct:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Em_%28typography%29
In digital typography, the best value to use is the point size of the font.
* Implement FontMetrics::em(), which returns the value in pixels of the EM unit.
Convert code to use it.
* Introduce Length::inPixel(MetricsBase const &), which takes the textwidth and em information from the MetricsBase object. Convert code to use it.
* Fix several places where Length::inPixel is used without a proper em value.
* add mathed_font_em() helper function. It should eventually be removed like some other functions in MathSupport.
* Add dummy implementation of FontMetrics to tex2lyx for linking purposes.
The problem came from the fact that Qt associates Interlingua to locale C.
Now, we do not rely anymore on the Qt locale to set the language. I suspect that the problem will still exist if the system locale is ia_IA.
Fixes bug #9267.
If a compressed svg icon is present, load it instead of a png one.
Also introduce two more sizes (huge and giant icons) that should be
useful when using hires displays, as svg icons automatically scale
to the desired size without loss of quality.
The math icons for the symbol image in the math completer were hardcoded to the
command names. This is wrong for some icons for various reasons, e.g. the case
insensitivity of windows file systems. Therefore we have to use the replacement
list which is also used for the toolbar icons. Bug #3538 is not closed because
of this problem, but IMHO it has nothing to do with this bug, it is a more
general one.
After the str-metrics merge, the kludge for displaying symbols whose
code point corresponds to a soft-hyphen was not working anymore.
The solution is replicating the offending glyphs with index 0x00ad
at a different index. They were replicated at 0x00ac, whose glyph
was missing in all affected fonts.
However, this would not work by alone because, if a system font with
same family name exists, it would be picked up instead of the right one
(at least on non-Windows platforms). For this reason, the style of the
fonts has been changed from "Regular" to "Lyx", so that we can discriminate
the right font. However, this requires using at least Qt 4.8. If an
older Qt is used *and* a system font with same family name is already
available, the affected glyphs will all turn out on screen as the
"logical not" symbol.
I have also set the executable flag on the font files, because on Windows
they are loaded only in this case.
This solves #9229.
This commit fixes a thinko in [8bab2338/lyxgit] causing the warning:
QObject::connect: No such slot lyx::frontend::GuiPreferences::slotApplyRC() in ../../../../src/frontends/qt4/GuiPrefs.cpp:3308
QObject::connect: (sender name: 'applyPB')
QObject::connect: (receiver name: 'PrefsUi')
This fixes the -geometry command line option and restores the
"Use icons from system's theme" checkbox in the preferences.
There is still code addressing Qt4 and xlib that has to be
audited. This code cannot be compiled with Qt5 because the
default backend is now xcb and not xlib. I have marked such
code with a "FIXME QT5" comment.
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.
[This commit is the output of the "horizontal scrolling" GSoC 2013
project, by Hashini Senaratne. The code has been cleaned up, some
variables have been renamed and moved from the Cursor class to
BufferView::Private. This is the base from which I (jmarc) will polish
the feature for landing on master.
Below is the original commit log of Hashini, updated to reflect the
changes that have been done.]
This feature also applicable for other insets; graphics and labels.
This implementation is capable of scrolling a single row when reaching
its content which is beyond the screen limits, using left and right
arrow keys.
The attribute 'horiz_scroll_offset_' introduced in the
BufferView::Private class plays a main role in horizontal scrolling of
the wide rows that grow beyond the screen limits. This attribute
represents by how much pixels the current row that the text cursor
lies in should be get scrolled.
The main logic that is responsible for drawing the scrolled rows is
within the BufferView class, BufferView::checkCursorScrollOffset.
* The main logic is called via BufferView::draw.
* What this does is set the horiz_scroll_offset_ attribute in in order to
show the position that the text cursor lies in.
* To make sure that BufferView::draw gets involved when Update flag is
FitCursor, necessary changes are made in BufferView::processUpdateFlags.
Basically what the logic that used to set the horiz_scroll_offset_
does is,
* The row which the text cursor lies in is identified by a
CursorSlice that points to the beginning of the row. This is the
'rowSlice' variable used in BufferView::checkCursorScrollOffset. Acessors
are added to obtain this variable. Here row objects were not used to
identify the current row, because it appears that row objects can
disappear when doing a decoration update for example. This means that
comparing row pointers is not a good idea, because they can change
without notice.
* Stop calculations of horiz_scroll_offset_ variable, if metrics have not been
computed yet. Otherwise the calls to TextMetrics::parMetrics, calls
redoParagraph and may change the row heigths. Therefore vertical scrolling
feature may get disturbed. This is avoided.
* Using BufferView::::setCurrentRowSlice resets horiz_scroll_offset_
when changing cursor row. This is done in order to prevent unwanted
scrolling that happens when changing the selected row using up and
down arrow keys.
* Recompute inset positions before checking scoll offset of the row, by
painting the row insets with drawing disabled. This is done because the
position of insets is computed within the drawing procedure.
* Current x position of the text cursor is compared with the
horiz_scroll_offset_ value and the other variables like row.width(),
bv.workWidth(). Compute the new horiz_scroll_offset_ value in order
to show where the text cursor lies in. The basics conditions that we
check before recomputing it are, if the text cursor lies rightward to
the current right screen boundary, if the text cursor lies leftward
to the current left screen boundary, if the text cursor lies within
screen boundaries but the length of the row is less than the left
boundary of the screen (this happens when we delete some content of
the row using delete key or backspace key).
* Change update strategy when scrooll offset has changed. This allows to
redraw the row when no drawing was scheduled. By doing so, it was
possible to redraw a wide row when moving to the leftmost position of the
wide row, from the leftmost position of the row below, using the left
arrow key.
In TextMetrics::drawParagraph it is checked whether the current row is
what is drawing now. If it is so, the value used to the x value of the row
for drawing is adapted according to BufferView::horizScrollOffset.
The method used to pass boundary() was fixed to get row when cursor was in
a nested inset. This matter is considered in Cursor::textRow and it is
modified accordingly.
GuiWorkArea::Private::showCursor() is modified to show the cursor position
in a scrolled row.
This happens when part of the word is selected.
To reproduce:
1. Start a new document
2. Type "af"
3. Select 'a'
4. Observe that the right part of the 'f' is clipped away.
This patch uses QRegion to set a clip region that is everything except
the part that is drawn in another color.
Fixes: #9223.
This patch fixes a series of warnings like:

For a description of the problem, see for example:
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/18515183/c-overloaded-virtual-function-warning-by-clang
3 different strategies have been used:
* in frontend, some functions have been renamed.
* in InsetMath.h, Inset::write has been explicitly imported too
* in InsetMathNest.h, since a comment said that hiding Inset::metrics is intended, a special trick has bee used to silence the warning.
These are now in version.cpp. The build machinery should therefore make sure
that version.cpp is recompiled at every compilation.
These variables are now referred to by the other places that made use of __DATE__ and __TIME__.
A similar fix was reverted (453ce611) because of crashes.
The crashes occurred simply because of a failed check that
we have a buffer view before using it. That is now done in
this commit.
The below commit description is copied from the original
commit (fb05011a):
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.
