Hi,
let's keep is short:
Here comes an updated bug list
(63 entries, a couple of new/modified reports).
Michael
LyX 1.2.0cvs - Bug list
Please help me to keep this list up to date.
Report new or fixed bugs *directly* to '[EMAIL PROTECTED]'
*******************************************************************************
Checked last time on 2001/12/15:
- With pspell, I get the following message when starting the spell checker:
"I'm sorry I can't find any suitable word lists for the language-tag "en"."
What does that mean?
- Option "Longtable" shifts the table from left to center. Correct?
Header and footer cannot be selected in the GUI.
- In the Insert menu, the TeX and Insert File entries have the same
key assigned (t). Whoever fixes that should make Math submenu take the "M"
shortcut now
- In math mode, enter "a", "^", "_", "<cursorleft>", "<cursorleft>". The subscript of
the
superscript is deleted correctly but a small dot remains as the superscript of "a"
on screen.
- Open new document; insert->float->figure; insert->minipage; insert->old graphics;
insert->tabular material next to the graphics; click on picture/table -> crash
(John: there are some drawing bugs here too, Allan: It happens everytime for me if
the cursor is in the table when you click on the figure)
- Appending a column to a centered table (in the last column)
shifts it to the very right; as of 2001/12/15, LyX crashes (probably freed memory
access, #108):

- Find & replace ignores math formula; bug or feature?
- The output of the list of possible completions given in the minibuffer if you enter,
e.g.,
"Alt+s" or "Alt+p" is delayed too long (how about 1 or 2 seconds only?)
- A line break in an ERT is not printed correctly when the ERT is collapsed
- In the "open" dialog, "Documents" and "Examples" do not have shortcuts;
in the "external material" dialog, "apply" is not activated if you enter the file
name by hand
- Menu items "Layout => XXX Style" are not updated for mathed (but the menu items
can be used in math mode!)
- When changing some font property for a set of table cells, the cell
selection is revoked.
- John: select a set of cells in an empty table and press a key.
the text will be inserted in the last cell after the selection
is cleared (good). but there will be a blue-background cursor
trail, e.g. two cells above. I've also seen it appear below
the tabular, inside the grey murk at the end of a document
- When selecting a set of cells in a large table (>screen size), I have
noticed that sometimes the wrong cells are selected. (Some uninitialized
variables?)
- If you invoke "find&replace", it happens that after the last occurrence the cursor
is set to the end of the document but the previous occurrence is still
highlighted/selected.
This is, of course, not a bug. However, I guess it makes things much more
complicated
if the cursor is not always placed at the beginning or end of a selection. Maybe
there
is some opportunity to simplify LyX in this direction and make it more robust at the
same time??? Please give some comment on whether I shall keep this item.
- Insert a figure float into an empty document; insert a minipage (width: 50%) into
the float; insert a paragraph (a few words) into the minipage; then
set lines above and below the paragraph within the minipage; insert letters in front
of the minipage -> the lines within the minipage shrink!
Checked last time on 2001/12/13:
- It seems like "Wide figures" do not work with option "Here, definitely"
(at least in the article class without additional flags/options). If that is
generally true, the option should not be allowed for them.
Checked last time on 2001/12/08:
- Create new doc; insert a figure float; insert a 2 col x 1 row table into the float;
insert an _old_ figure inset into each cell with width=50%page and an invalid file
name;
export to pdflatex -> 4 errors are reported (correct!); export to pdflatex again
(stupid, but try)
-> lyx aborts. I don't care about the old figure inset as it should be removed
anyway.
However, I guess there is a bug in the error handling (#115)
- Create new doc; add 5x5 table; insert a letter into each cell of the first column;
set the size of the letter in the topmost cell to tiny (alt+s t) -> incorrect redraw
- Create new doc; add two pars; insert note inset in between; add two lines into
note; "undo" until doc is empty again; "redo" again -> note text is lost forever
(#116)
- Insert a minipage into the only cell of a 1x1 table; then try to
invoke the minipage dialog -> you will fail; the table dialog is invoked
instead all the time. Solution: The dialog is opened for the deepest nested
inset on which the cursor is placed (#117)
- German "�" (o umlaut) has a strange effect in mathed
- Select some text; paste it with middle button (no highlighting); paste it again
(highlighting), paste it again (no highlighting), ... (#35)
- Insert a figure float into an empty document; insert a _large_ table
(> screen size) into the figure float; add some text right after the
table (on a separate line); select the text -> it is not highlighted!
- The undo operation always moves the cursor out of the current inset
(check this with ERT inside note inset; also crashes eventually)
- Clicking into the right half of a footnote does not work (wrong cursor placement)
if there is another footnote after the footnote in the _same_ paragraph (#451276)
Similar scenario: Place an ERT and an empty minipage (same par) into a figure float;
change ERT to inlined view; enter some text into the ERT; try to click into its
right half -> doesn't work
- Insert a (math) inset into a table cell. Then, move the cursor along the current
row. The lines at the bottom of other cells are erased (on screen) (#59)
- Create new "article (koma-script)" document; insert a minipage; add three pars of
text
into the minipage; set the second par to "minisec" layout; set document to "SGML
article";
click on the error inset -> some text following the error inset is highlighted
- Remove the old graphics inset (from GUI and from code
if automatic conversion is activated and works satisfyingly) (#53)
- Open new doc; insert float; insert some text into the float; open other doc; close
other doc
-> cursor is at the beginning of the inset (normally it keeps its former position)
- Create a document with about 10 open footnotes; then move to the end of the document
and collapse
the footnotes in reverse order -> the scroll bar is not updated fully correctly
- Load file "scary_eqns.lyx" and try to click at the last subscript "0" in a formula
called "philinear"
-> the cursor is positioned past the formula
- Insert a minipage into an empty document; insert a few characters in front of the
(open) minipage -> the minipage is moved past the right border of the LyX main window
Checked last time on 2001/12/06:
- Do we really need to export PDF in many different ways? My machine at work
suggests PDF (just PDF), PDF (pdflatex), and a third one (don't remember).
Can't we just offer the best one?
Checked before 2001/12/06:
- It makes a difference whether you mark a whole table and press "Alt+s t" (for size
"tiny")
or you mark the text in each cell individually (line spacing is different!). On
screen
not difference can be observed! (it took me an hour to analyse the probem :-() (#36)
- When pressing ESC in a cell of a large table (>screen size), the table is scrolled
even
though the cell is already visible (example requested by John)
- The width is computed incorrectly for tables with many (vertically overlapping)
multicolumn cells.
I observed the case that a table was enlarged when entering chars in a multicolumn
cell even though
the cell itself was not filled completely (example requested by John)
- If a footnote is used inside a tabular which is 1) outside floats
2) not in a minipage 3) no long-tabular, the following two lines have to be
inserted to the preamble (according to Dekel):
\usepackage{footnote}
\makesavenoteenv{tabular}
Else you get a footnote symbol but no footnote text.
- After defining the Tgif (vector drawing program) file type and
converters to eps and xpm, the graphics inset still does not accept
my files. Why? In that context, could somebody please explain why
there is a need for an "external material" inset anymore?
- If you do not save immediately after pressing "modify" in the
Preferences/Converters dialog, you have no chance to do so later
- Minibuffer message is duplicated:
"LaTeX run number 2 (message LaTeX run number 2)"
Only occurs when you click at menu item "View/DVI"; CTRL-D works well
- If several table cells are combined in one multicolumn cell, the content
of all but the first cell is lost (hidden). IMHO the content of all cells
should be merged in order to prevent unintended loss of text
- Create a note inset in a large document and fill it with text until its
content cannot be fully displayed on screen.
Then move the cursor in front of the note, press CursorDown (you are now
scrolling past the note), press CursorUp (you are back in front of the note),
and press CursorLeft -> you enter the note but again the document is scrolled,
this time totally unnecessarily. Too much scrolling is really confusing!
- PageDown (only 5 lines downwards) and PageUp (movement to either the last
or one but last line) do not work in a (large) note inset (#60)
- Add some labels to your document, then open the "Reference" dialog.
As soon as you move the cursor down in the list of references,
all references (i.e. their names) are shifted to the right
The same problem occurs with "bibliography keys" in the citation dialog
- +checking for package graphics [graphics]... yes
^^^^^^^^
Shouldn't this be graphicx for the new graphics inset?
- If I start LyX in my document directory, LyX should offer the current directory
as default location in the "Open..." dialog. But it always shows the home
directory instead. (#46)
- The scroll button of a wheel mouse does not work with insets as the cursor
is blocked ("hangs") at some position; the problem
seems to occur if the cursor is set right after an inset
- Insert/Special character/Linebreak shows a very strange behaviour within
mathed especially if you change from math formula to display formula
afterwards (#118)
- Navigate does not work for algorithms and figures (#11)
- Citation labels should reflect their content, i.e. if only the year is chosen
in the citation dialog, then the label should show the year afterwards. (#114)

********************** Bugs that might not be fixed for 1.2.0 :-(
*****************************
- Is there any way to speed up "Search&Replace" when it comes to wide tables? LyX
redraws such
tables hysterically even though the search text is not found in them. IMHO LyX
should only update
the screen when some text is found or the search is finished (#43)
- You cannot delete empty LyX code paragraphs with the backspace key;
however, you can delete them with the delete key (#4)
The same holds for pars within ERT insets (BTW: How about replacing the
lyxcode par layout by an inset? IIRC LyX code has some more problems caused
by them not being real environments)
- Wouldn't it be wiser to have "algorithm"/"figure"/etc. as an option to
a general float? Currently, it is not possible to switch between types
once you have created the float (you must cut&paste the content).
- The citation ref. dialog should have a similar feature as the buffer choice in
the cross ref. dialog
- In a table cell with all text being tiny, the cursor size is adjusted within the
cell's red box
wrt. the cell's height but not outside the red box (i.e. when pressing ESC)
- A lot of math features are not visible in the GUI, e.g. font settings, macros;
IMHO the GUI should list all LyX features; most users do not read the manual and
will miss some of LyX's pearls (#119)
- Start LyX, open buffer, close buffer, have a look at the minibuffer (#51)
- In the label dialog, the buttons should be reordered ("ok"/"clear"/"cancel") (#85)
- Graphics dialog:
- It is not a good idea to clear the width and height fields if "scale"
is chosen (and vice versa); IMHO new buttons for the three sections
default/height+width/scale should be added and the "Width"/"Height"/
"Scale" labels should become grey if deselected (#112)
- The insertion of a graphic should be delayed until "OK" is pressed
- What's the difference between OK and Apply? It seems to be
impossible to add a second, third,... graphic with the same
dialog (cf. reference dialogs) (#113)
- In the table dialog, you need to enter RETURN in order to set a fixed width
for a column; this is not acceptable because "close" simply throws away your
change without a warning (#110)
- The year of the following bibtex entry is not shown correctly in the citation dialog
(#109)
