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.
Make MathData::setBuffer set the buffer of insets that it contains.
Remove corresponding code from InsetMathNest.
update the buffer() property in the following tabular-feature
actions : copy-row, add-row, copy-col, add-col.
The code in 90cfe4ec3 only handled the cells which metrics are
computed directly, and missed those who were linearized inside a MathRow.
To fix this, we use the fact that all the positions in a math row have
the same height and make MathRow::metrics return a boolean indicating
whether it contains a caret for a given bufferview.
Fixes bug #11153.
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.
When computing a cell metrics, it is now possible to specify whether it
is tight (at least as tall as 'x') or not (as tall as the max height of
the font).
Use this to make sure that grid insets have large enough cells. It
will probably appear that other cells needn't be tight. Currently, the
only cell which is known to be tight is the nucleus of the root inset.
Others should be examined one by one. It might be that the default of
MathData::metrics tight parameter should be `false'.
Fixes bug #11050.
Basically, everything that does not depend on a BufferView should move
there. Some methods that do not seem to need a BufferView, like
selHandle or IdxFirst or push actually depend on it and could not be
moved.
This allows to simplify a few uses of recordUndo helpers.
- Move some methods to DocIterator: nextMath, prevMath, getPossibleLabel,
getEncoding;
- Move some methods to CursorData: setCursor, setCursorSelectionTo,
(setCursorTo|normal|reset)Anchor, (set|clear)Selection,
sel(|ection)(Begin|End), selectionAsString, info, currentState,
(mark|clear|check)NewWordPosition, fixIfBroken, sanitize, all undo
related methods, reset, isInside, leaveInset, current mode;
- kill some unused methods: macromode, replaceWord, setScreenPos, touch,
markInsert, markErase;
- Move code around to group things, and add a few comments (a lot remains to be done).
This changes lead to some related changes in other classes: removal,
change of parameter.
No intended change.
The special mode used by macros where the macro name is displayed as
grey text in a box is now one of the possible marker types for any
inset. The new code puts the macro name below the text, which means
that only the text below the current line will be moved. This makes
edition much more comfortable. The grey border around the contents has
been removed too.
The marker_type enum has been moved from Inset to InsetMath. A
markerMargin() function returns the horizontal margin required on each
side for the marker. Only the corner-type markers MARKER and MARKER2
need some.
A new BOX_MARKER enum value has been added and is taken care of in
afterMetricsMarkers (renamed from metricsMarkerVertical) and
drawMarkers.
The InsetMath::marker() macro now takes a BufferView pointer as
argument, so that the marker type can depend on editing state.
MathRow::metrics now makes changes to the MathRow object when needed.
The specific metrics/draw code in MathMacro has been removed and
replaced by assertions. Code in addToMathRow and marker is adapted to
reflect the cases where linearization is possible.
It is not clear that the optimization is a gain, but it is clear that
it has a cost: some elements of formulas will not be present in the
position cache.
Fixes bug #10520.
Now the selection is not done by the inset, but by the MathData
itself. This allows for some code simplification and avoids an
extra redraw.
Additionally, this fixes the selection inside macros, which was broken
by the new MathRow code.
The special mode used by macros where the macro name is displayed as
grey text in a box is now one of the possible marker types for any
inset. The new code puts the macro name below the text, which means
that only the text below the current line will be moved. This makes
edition much more comfortable.

Macro nesting is now recorded into the macro inset itself. This allows
the ArgumentProxy inset to determine whether it is editable or not by
looking at its macro.
Remove code in the metrics and draw methods of ArgumentProxy: this
code is AFAICS not active anymore, since arguments are linearized into
math rows.
Use Changer idiom to change locally the values of MecticsInfo::base.macro_nesting.
This is a long standing issue, present since the new math macros
inception in version 1.6. It manifests as a display issue when a
macro with optional arguments appears in the optional argument of
another macro. In this case the display is messed up and it is
difficult, if not impossible, changing the arguments as they do not
appear on screen as related to a specific macro instance. It also
manifests as latex errors when compiling, even if the latex output
is formally correct, due to limitations of the xargs package used
to output the macros. Most probably, both aspects have the same
root cause, as simply enclosing in braces the macro and its
parameters solves both issues. However, when reloading a document,
lyx strips the outer braces enclosing a macro argument, thus
frustrating this possible workaround.
This commit solves the display issue by correctly accounting for
macros with optional arguments nested in the argument of another
macro, and circumvents the xargs package limitations causing errors
by enclosing in braces the macros with optional arguments appearing
in the argument of an outer macro when they are output. This means
that when loading an old document with such macros and saving it
again, the macro representation is updated and will have these
additional braces. However, as such braces are stripped by lyx on
loading, there is no risk that they accumulate.

Empty insets should use a minimal amount of space, especially when
they are part of a built-in macro in lib/symbols.
With this change, blue rectangles signal actually editable places.
Empty macros in editable data are shown as grey boxes, but they do not
appear when further nested.
This is done by adding a new type BOX of MathRow::Element object and a
MetricsInfo::macro_nesting that keeps track of macros (and is reset to
0 in editable macro arguments).
* new MathRow class which contains the description of a MathData
object in terms of math class and spacing
+ macros and their arguments used in the MathData object are
linearized (replaced with their contents) so that all math insets
are typeset as a string together. To this end, we introduce a
method addToMathRow to InsetMath and MathData. This method allows
to linearize recursively a MathData object.
+ It is then necessary to set manually the dimension and position of
the macros and arguments.
+ the class class and spacing are computed using the MathClass helpers.
The MathRow data is cached in the MathData object in a bufferview-dependent
way (different dpi for different screens).
* delegate most of the work MathData::metrics/draw to MathRow metrics/draw.
The case of draw is trickier, since many draw() methods rely on their
metrics without any spacing added.
This requires to change many docstrings into std::strings. The logic behind that
is that they represent a fixed set of math fonts, and therefore “string” means
here “poor man's enum” rather than text (this is consistent with MetricsBase).
Profiling of scrolling inside a document over macro-instensive areas:
Before the patch:
44,1% BufferView::updateMetrics()
-> 34,8% InsetMathHull::metrics()
-> 9,8% FontSetChanger::FontSetChanger()
28,4% BufferView::draw()
After the patch:
35,3% BufferView::updateMetrics()
-> 27,2% InsetMathHull::metrics
-> 0,4% FontSetChanger::FontSetChanger()
47,5% BufferView::draw()
FontSetChanger::FontSetChanger() is made 41x less expensive (with reference
BV::draw()) just by removing this conversion. The remaining 0,4% could be
squished by replacing the strings with a proper enum, but this is premature. Of
course, this only treats the symptoms: there is no good reason that this
function is called 45500 times over the time of 40 repaints.
The pointer macroInset points to a vector element. When another element is inserted in this vector, some reallocation occur and the pointer points to a deleted element.
This does not crash LyX by default, but it is bad enough to make valgrind cry.
See ticket #9804.
We already have a CoordCache of insets dimensions. It is not necessary
to store the same information in two places.
Give a name to CoordCache tables types to improve code readability.
Remove ParagraphMetrics::singleWidth, which is not used anymore.
Remove unwanted clearSelection()s in MathData::updateMacros(). These calls broke
text selection with keyboard and mouse, search-and-replace, restoring selection
after Undo, etc. in a document with math macros since 1.6.0. (Regression at
6aa54673 and 12314897)
I do not know the purpose of these calls, but the selection code has been worked
on since, and I cannot produce undesired behaviour after removing
them.
Newer boost versions use complicated type traits for boost::next and
boost::prior, which do not work with the RandomAccessList iterators.
The long term solution is to use std::next and std::prev, for now supply
simple replacements for compilers that do not support C++11 yet.
This is mostly unused private class members.
There are also a few unused functions that got #if'ed out. I never know in this case whether the code should be nuked.

When using, e.g., a 'mathcal' inset in math, the inline completion and
other special characters like '\#', '{..}' are are painted in the
'mathcal' font as well. This is overcome by setting the mathnormal font
before painted these characters.
