I don't know how to do it exactly, but yes, I mean that the information
you need here should all be in unicodesymbols, or added if not, and
could be retrieved by the methods defined in Encoding.cpp.

There should be no need to store LaTeX<>Unicode mappings anywhere else.

Hello,

Sorry for not following up on this. The fact is that I do not have any 
good idea about what to do. I read the issue, and what they do is 
subvert the Qt update system to execute synchronously. This is not a 
direction we want to follow.


Can you tell me whether the problem is new to LyX 2.3.1, where we 
introduced a new painting workflow?

Just checked with two other QT5 applications: shotcut does not seem to
manifest this bug, but wireshark does. Don't know what to make of it.
As far as I understand, this could indeed be a Xorg, graphics driver
or QT bug ... I suppose someone more knowledgeable about X11 and Xorg
could infer some useful conclusions from the fact that the bug does
not appear in the screencasts.

I am not sure what do you mean by "work area", but for me (while I am
looking at the Xorg-powered display and using lyx), there are problems
on almost the whole window. The little animations that should happen
when the pointer hovers over the toolbar elements do not happen (the
highlighting, maybe that is what it is called), menus do not drop
down, and usually even the updates to the main area when the text goes
do not happen (so, if I type "aosdiasduioh", the screen stays the same

The work area is the place where you write. We implemented it completely 
within our code, so bugs can happen there (we recently fixed one with 
Wayland, for example). But if the menus do not really work, I would 
check whether other qt5 applications work. This might not be our bug.

I tried to install dwm in oldstable debian and lyx 2.3.2 works just fine
under dwm, so this seems to be something more specific to your config than only
combination of lyx and basic wm. (maybe newer version of X11/dwm/wt/lyx
might mater).

Perhaps you can reproduce the problem even with wm which is less basic
on your system?

After I read your question, I wanted to record a video of my screen,
with a visible keylogger window, so you guys could see what was
happening on my end. It turns out both keylogging and screencasting
have an effect on Lyx's perceived window behavior.

The most astonishing thing for me is that in the ffmpeg screencasts I
made, everything looks totally normal, the recorded Lyx window updates
smoothly exactly when it should. In other words, as far as I could
tell there is no bug visible from the screencasts, which does NOT
correspond to the behavior visible to me while using Lyx. (I will
share the screencasts, but they are probably useless.)

The other interesting thing was that having a keylogger window (which
shows key presses and releases when they happen, see the screencasts)
visible alongside the Lyx window caused the Lyx window to show
keypress-necessitated window updates that would otherwise be elided.
It seems that whenever there was another display update on screen, the
Lyx window would also get updated. This might explain why this bug
would only become apparent when using Lyx alongside a minimal WM like
DWM or without a WM (I usually use Lyx-like applications so they are
almost full screen).

This leads to an apparent work-around for this bug: one should have,
for example, a video player playing a video visible alongside the lyx
window.

Hello,

I am currently moderating the list until we find a way to avoid spam 
more efficiently. I am not yet up-to-speed with the new list software we 
use, sorry. This is an issue for people who write to the list without 
being subscriber. I have whitelisted you now, so that you can post freely.



This is on an up-to-date Archlinux system which should mean all
software is at latest release version.

Software versions:

lyx 2.3.3, qt5 5.13.2, xorg 1.20.5

Reproducing: Create an empty HOME dir and .lyx in it, run
/usr/share/lyx/configure.py with python2, start Lyx with created HOME.


Note that you can start lyx with '-userdir foo' to get the same effect. 
Configure should be run automatically in this new directory.



I tried using Lyx both with the DWM window manager
https://dwm.suckless.org , and without a WM: Lyx exhibits the same bug
under both environments.

At first, under dwm, I thought the issue is that Lyx is not
registering mouse clicks at all, but actually what seems to be the
case is that it just does not update its display, except that every so
often it does get updated and then I can see what happened in the mean
time.


This is weird, I do not know where to start to debug this. We have 
issues with Wayland (that are fixed in git now), but xorg is supposed to 
work.


It is only the LyX work area that is not updated or the whole window 
(toolbar, menus...)?

Can you send me the file privately by email? That is probably the
easiest thing.

Otherwise, the usual way to try to solve this is to 'bisect': Delete
half the document and see if it works then. If so, then the problem is
in the other half, so restore that, delete the part you had kept before,
etc. Keep going like this until you isolate what is causing the problem.

Hi Richard,

I think, I might have done the "bisection" after my initial mail, earlier

Do you, perhaps, know what file extensions I must avoid for statistical

today. It looks like it was the graphical images I had.

Do you, perhaps, know what file extensions I must avoid for statistical

It's safest to stick with things like png and jpg, but LyX can support
almost any file extension. You just have to have an appropriate converter
installed. What format were you trying to use? And what sort of computer
are you using?

I t was the .png that wasn't working. I changed to .jpg and it seems to

that .jpg worked today and it might crash in the near future.

First question: Can you compile a very simple LyX file? I.e., start a
new file, type "Hello World", and try to view the PDF. Does it work? If
not, then there is some major problem in your installation, and I'd
recommend removing everything related to LyX and re-installing.

If that isn't the problem, we can try more things. But the LaTeX log you
attached is truncated: It is not the complete file. So it's impossible
to see what the error might be.

Can you please explain why you need to do anything in git? I ask because 
building from a tar ball usually means

- unpack tar ball
- cd to the unpacked directory
- execute build script

and I want rto help that you can do it that way. If there is no git

the tar ball and not from something in git. If git is involved, then this is

http://www.lyx.org/trac/ticket/9878 is a strong hint that the installer 
contains at least some files that are not from the tar ball. This bug does 
also demonstrate why it is so important that the labels of binary and source 
packages match: If we had known from the beginning that Andrew was not using 
alpha2, one of the very first things he would have been told is "use 
alpha2", and then he would have noticed that the bug does not exist in 
alpha2.

Never heard of that. I'm not sure I want to use it for all compilations,

If you do not pay attention to what the git advocates say ("it is easy to

I do this anyway---one tree for master, one tree for stable---for the

I use ccache to accelerate the recompilation between checkouts, it works 
well if you have some spare hard disk space.

Never heard of that. I'm not sure I want to use it for all compilations,
though. I'd like to be able to use it just for LyX. But that looks
difficult.



In Debian/Ubuntu, you could do something like:
  export CXX="ccache g++"
before running configure, or:
  export PATH="/usr/lib/ccache/:$PATH"
before compilation.

I hope not. We discussed very deeply for the 2.1 release that an installer 
that is labelled "2.2.0 alpha2" has to be built from the source tar ball 
"2.2.0 alpha2", and not from a git checkout. This is true BTW for all 
packagers on all operating systems.

That is several commits after alpha2 and would have included my patch,
as well as a couple due to Georg.

What I don't understand is why the binary isn't being built from the
tarball. Is the reason that the installer code is itself in the git tree
but not part of the tarball? Surely there's a way around that. But even
if there is some need to build the binary from within the git tree, then
the thing to do is checkout the relevant tag:

# git checkout 2.2.0alpha2

Then build.

Other messages in this thread have made it seem likely that the Windows
alpha2 release was built from git commit hash 5c35ebcd, about six
commits after alpha2. Uwe said something about trying to import the
tarball into the git tree and getting confused:

but I didn't understand what he meant. Obviously, there's something here
that we need to help Uwe figure out.

I build from the tarball. To do so i create a new branch in my git to 
get all paths correct.


In this case I compiled it correctly but put the files from the git 
master lib folder to the installer instead of the files from the tarball.
The lyx.exe and tex2lyx.exe in the installer are the correct ones (see

Thanks for this hint. I am not sure if you found a bug maybe a LyX devel 
colleague could tell us that. For now the installer already warns you 
that installing over another could cause unwanted side effects.
I tested to install alpha 2 over alpha 1 with success but OK, I did not 
manually change a file of alpha 1.

This would not explain your problems because we have the script that

LyX's directory and the question is if LyX is supposed to be able to 
read it anyway or to convert it automatically. I don't know. So perhaps

This was not the plan and I hate git for this.  It is hard to figure out 
what branch is now really used. I took Scott's file into my build branch

However, it doesn't matter that I made this mistake, it must work anyway 
if it is supposed to work. Without my mistake you would have faced the 
same problem, with the only difference that Format 2 would be active but 
since you have a file with Format 1 the effect is the same.



If it
didn't then my problem may well stem from that fact, which would only
cause rather public difficulties for you. I've held off filing a bug
report in the meantime.


Many thanks for that but it was 3 AM when I compiled. So I invested some 
hours of my sleep to get it ready and only who don't do anything don't 
make any mistake.
Normally I build and then test installers at least 1 day on several PCs 
but as I just got the feedback from you and Brian that everything is 
working now with my test installer I thought I just had to compile and 
throw the result into the installer.

LyX should read that file correctly, running prefs2prefs to convert it
as necessary. If that isn't working right, then it's a bug.

Are the Windows binaries being built from some git branch and not from

It could be provided by Uwe. Then, I don't know whether the plugins

QtSvg.dll
iconengines/svgicon.dll
imageformats/qsvg.dll

building a static Windows version of Qt and cannot really tell.

which ships with Qt5 libraries and it seems that the layout has to be
like this:

QtSvg.dll
plugins/iconengines/qsvgicon.dll
plugins/imageformats/qsvg.dll

For completeness sake, I've also tried this directory structure (as 
well as the flat one) with both Uwe's installers for alpha1. In all 
cases the svgz icons do not display.


Andrew
In an earlier email Georg suggested using Process Monitor, so I 
downloaded and installed it. A bit overwhelming at first, but I've now 
got some basic understanding of how to use it. I've attached a gnumeric 
file with what seems relevant (to my untutored eye). The logs are for 
Uwe's Installer-2. I start LyX and log the results. In the top rows, LyX 
tries to find a folder bin/iconengines which isn't there. I therefore 
created bin/iconengines. The lower rows are the relevant lines for this 
second run. LyX is obviously looking for something in the folder. I 
(blindly) tried putting various candidates like qsvgicon4.dll in the 
folder, but none of them resulted in the icons displaying. (The full 
logs are 3 to 4 MB. I could zip and send them if that seems worthwhile.)

- move or copy there all image dll-files (qsvg4.dll, jpeg4.dll etc.)

- create a folder named "iconengines" in the folder where the lyx.exe is

It could be provided by Uwe. Then, I don't know whether the plugins are to
be placed into proper subdirectories. Maybe, the layout could be:

QtSvg.dll
iconengines/svgicon.dll
imageformats/qsvg.dll

or maybe a flat structure where all dlls are there suffices. I only tried
building a static Windows version of Qt and cannot really tell.

if you want to test this installer, you need to uninstall LyX

Andre and Brian could you please download these 2 files:

- 
http://ftp.lyx.de/LyX%202.2.0-alpha-1/Installer%20Source%20Code/qsvgicon4.dll


and put them into the folder where your lyx.exe of LyX 2.2alpha1 exists.
Then restart LyX.
Does this solve your problems?

I've downloaded both and put them in the LyX 2.2/bin folder (alongside

I uninstalled alpha1, including preferences, ran ccleaner through the 
registry, downloaded installer-2 and installed LyX. Alas, the problem is 
still there. Although buffer-view.sgvz on the splash screen displays, 
the icons on the toolbars do not. (And if I use Insert > Graphics to 
view an svgz icon within the main LyX window, it converts successfully 
and is displayed.)

For completeness sake, I've also tried this directory structure (as well

LyX does currently not compile. But I think your change was inncomplete because:

here we have the quote_python tag so we should it have here too:

This is a known problem. tex2lyx does not support listings 
(http://www.lyx.org/trac/ticket/5194) or the standard verbatim environment 
(http://www.lyx.org/trac/ticket/5408) at all. Fixing this is possible, but 
not easy, since the usual TeX parsing cannot be used for listings and 
verbatim code. It needs to be modified depending on the given listings 
settings, i.e. the escape character. Therefore I would not expect that this 
bug gets fixed soon.

Re: Fwd: LyX Deutsche Doku: [Fwd: letter?]

 In the letter environment letter(KOMA-Script) I found Name and Town, no
 street? May be the adress-supplement will work?
First, you should use letter(KOMA-Script v.2), because
letter(KOMA-Script) is outdated itself.

The environment »Name« is supposed to hold your name, which will
actually become the first line of your address.
But »Town« does not belong to the address, it only appears flush right
before the opening (followed by date).

Your address has to be given in »SenderAddress«, but without your name
(which is taken from the »Name« field). Street and Town have to be
separated by a newline (Ctrl+Enter) as Günter said before.

The addressee's address is given in »Address« (including name this time)

 In any case in trying to compile such adress-experiments I get a

There are some compulsory fields in a letter -- without a value in them, no

Re: Fwd: LyX

[Asger Alstrup]

Dear Roberto,
 Hi, I am the developer of Kat
 ( http://www.kde-apps.org/content/show.php?content=22135 )

 Kat uses a series of plugins to extract fulltext from files.
 I am collaborating with the KDE project KPDF and KOffice to build
 the plugins to manage their formats.

 I would like to ask you if you are interested in collaborating with us to
 produce a plugin for LyX, LateX and BibTeX.
 The plugin is a slightly modified kfile plugin, so it is really simple to
 produce it. The only thing it returns is fulltext of the file.
LyX can already convert a .lyx document to ASCII format using the command 
line. You can use relyx and tex2lyx (in CVS) to convert a LaTeX document to 
.lyx format, so you should be able to do all of this with a simple shell 
script that just invokes these tools correctly.

Regards,
Asger Ottar Alstrup

LyX can already convert a .lyx document to ASCII format using the command 
line. You can use relyx and tex2lyx (in CVS) to convert a LaTeX document to 
.lyx format, so you should be able to do all of this with a simple shell 
script that just invokes these tools correctly.

The po files should be applied I guess.

The layout files should wait.

The keymap might go in if the changes are small.

Well, in this case the problem probably lies with the user as he's unable to 
copy into his tempdir.

As for the wider question of why do we copy the .eps file into the tempdir in 
the first place: I suspect that the answer is that hte logic is already 
extremely convoluted. Testing whether or not we should copy the original 
graphics file before performing any conversion operations and then 
ascertaining whether the file to be included is in the temp dir or bufferdir 
or some other location in order to set the latex path appropriately...

I think Herbert went for the option most likely to work all the time ;-)
