[patch] LFUN_WORD_REPLACE does not clear selection

[Scott Kostyshak]

The bug this patch fixes can be reproduced as follows:
1. enable continuous spell check.
2. type a misspelled word and press space so that it has a wavy red underline.
3. right-click and choose a suggested replacement word.
4. press the backspace button.

Result: nothing happens. If you press the backspace button again, then it works 
as normal. The problem occurs after step 3. cur.selection() is TRUE at this 
point so when backspace is pressed LyX tries to delete whatever is selected, 
which is nothing. You can see that cur.selection() is true by the activation of 
the scissors button after step 3.

Is this the right fix? This fixes the bug that I just reported, but I'm worried 
that it would have unintended consequences for other functions that use 
LFUN_WORD_REPLACE.

Could someone please check this?

Thank you,

Scott

RE: [patch] fix document settings branches GUI behavior

[Scott Kostyshak]

From: Scott Kostyshak

I'm getting closer. I realize that I need to connect the signal returnPressed 
from newBranchLE to on_addBranchPB_pressed. I did this, and it seems to have 
partially done what I want, but when I enter text into the LE and press 
return the dialog goes away. The branch is correctly entered (which can be 
seen by going back to document settings  branches). What did I do wrong? Why 
is it closing? Is updateView() doing that?

The new patch is attached.

I still can't figure this out. Can anyone help?

 I added a line to set lc (language code) to GB for now (in

 To make it sensitive to the language of the document, we have to find

forwarding questions from tex.stackexchange to lyx-users list

[Scott Kostyshak]

tex.stackexchange seems to be gaining popularity. I was surprised by the number 
of posts with a lyx tag. There were three just from yesterday. There don't seem 
to be any developers that are active on tex.stackexchange and there are few 
users of LyX that answer questions there.

Would it be desirable to have questions posted there forwarded to the lyx-users 
list? I suppose one would still have to go to tex.stackexchange.com to answer 
the question, but at least this would centralize questions about LyX.

My guess is that this is not a good idea, but I wanted confirmation of that.

Re: Windows Installer could use work: must set miktex packages on fly to NO, or else LyX won't run

[Vincent van Ravesteijn]

I still don't understand why we can't have Miktex to ask to install a
package when needed ? At least we can ask the user if he wants to install
all possible packages and wait half an hour. So many people are put off by
having to wait so long the first time they try LyX.


Dear Vincent:

I think you are missing the point that in MikTeX it is a KNOWN bug
that the ASK option is broken and it fails to make the menu pop up and
ask the user about the packages.


I didn't know that. It works perfectly for me.

But what I basically meant is that we, the LyX installer, could ask the user 
whether we check for all packages being installed and install them if needed.

Bug? Errors when using graphics with syntax.sty

[Rav Chandra]

Hello all, firstly thanks for the great work on LyX. It is a superb
piece of software.

However, I've encountered a problem when using graphics (i.e. images)
in-conjunction with the grammar environment of the syntax.sty package.
Specifically, if I include both an image and a grammar environment
then the document will fail to compile with Undefined control
sequence errors. What is extremely curious, however, is that if your
export the same file fro LyX to LaTeX (pdflatex) you will then have a
.tex file which compiles perfectly, without error!

Unfortunately, I am not familiar enough with LyX to understand how to
investigate this further. However, if useful, I can certainly follow
instructions to diagnose/debug if pointed in the right direction.

Reproducibility:
- have tested using LyX 2.0.2 on Linux (Ubuntu 10.04), OS X 10.7, and
Windows Vista
- have tested using LyX 2.0.3 on Linux (Ubuntu 10.04)

Steps:
- make an empty document, insert 1 image
- add \usepackage{syntax} to document preamble
- insert lyx code:

\begin{grammar}
hello ::= WORLD
\end{grammar}

- view as pdflatex will produce error
- export as .tex and then run command $ pdflatex file.tex will NOT have error

Kind regards
Rav

Well it depends on which version of MikTeX, which version of Windows,

Just read the MikTeX page on it:

I believe the problem I'm seeing is the same described there for
TeXnicCenter This happens when a missing package needs to be

I've not seen the pop up permission request since the middle years of

[patch] LFUN_WORD_REPLACE does not clear selection

The bug this patch fixes can be reproduced as follows:
1. enable continuous spell check.
2. type a misspelled word and press space so that it has a wavy red underline.
3. right-click and choose a suggested replacement word.
4. press the backspace button.

Result: nothing happens. If you press the backspace button again, then it works 
as normal. The problem occurs after step 3. cur.selection() is TRUE at this 
point so when backspace is pressed LyX tries to delete whatever is selected, 
which is nothing. You can see that cur.selection() is true by the activation of 
the scissors button after step 3.

Is this the right fix? This fixes the bug that I just reported, but I'm worried 
that it would have unintended consequences for other functions that use 
LFUN_WORD_REPLACE.

If one has to go to tex.stackexchange.com to answer it, then I think its not

Recent versions of Word do exactly this, and it's pretty handy. Implementing

If someone wants to implement this, and have it off by default, I

I like (and occasionally use) tex.stackexchange.com. I don't see the point in
forwarding questions. But it is a really nice Q site. In some ways the format
is much more appropriate than a mailing list and then web forum software both
for getting users answers to their questions and for creating good content that
search engines can find to help people with the same question in the future.

Some ideas: 

- link to tex.stackexchange.com from lyx.org/MailingLists

- mention tex.stackexchange.com on lyx-users

I never understood the need for the number of characters count in any case,
including under Tools->Statistics.

But an auto-updating number of words (say, when idle, every 5 seconds) is really
handy.

Look in the console output. The generated file is invalid, but LyX tries to 
read it nevertheless, and succeeds, because it guesses right where the

Re: Windows Installer could use work: must set miktex packages "on fly" to NO, or else LyX won't run

[Vincent van Ravesteijn]

I still don't understand why we can't have Miktex to ask to install a
package when needed ? At least we can ask the user if he wants to install
all possible packages and wait half an hour. So many people are put off by
having to wait so long the first time they try LyX.


Dear Vincent:

I think you are missing the point that in MikTeX it is a KNOWN bug
that the ASK option is broken and it fails to make the menu pop up and
ask the user about the packages.


I didn't know that. It works perfectly for me.

But what I basically meant is that we, the LyX installer, could ask the user 
whether we check for all packages being installed and install them if needed.

git.lyx.org - developers! your ssh public key please

I have begun to setup and do the lyx conversion proper.
Expect things to happen fairly quick now.

However I do not want to do this _too_ fast.

I am not going to setup anonymous cloning right now, but I want
developers to send me their public ssh keys.
(If you do not already have write access to the svn repo, don't bother
sending me a public key either. Be sure to send as attachment.)

After I get your public key and add it you will get

Play all you like with that.

In the meantime I will fixup the git repo I have of lyx, and
we should be able to make the switch over failr quick.
We need to make the proper track setup first though.

Bug? Errors when using graphics with syntax.sty

[Rav Chandra]

Hello all, firstly thanks for the great work on LyX. It is a superb
piece of software.

However, I've encountered a problem when using graphics (i.e. images)
in-conjunction with the grammar environment of the syntax.sty package.
Specifically, if I include both an image and a grammar environment
then the document will fail to compile with "Undefined control
sequence errors". What is extremely curious, however, is that if your
export the same file fro LyX to LaTeX (pdflatex) you will then have a
.tex file which compiles perfectly, without error!

Unfortunately, I am not familiar enough with LyX to understand how to
investigate this further. However, if useful, I can certainly follow
instructions to diagnose/debug if pointed in the right direction.

Reproducibility:
- have tested using LyX 2.0.2 on Linux (Ubuntu 10.04), OS X 10.7, and
Windows Vista
- have tested using LyX 2.0.3 on Linux (Ubuntu 10.04)

Steps:
- make an empty document, insert 1 image
- add "\usepackage{syntax}" to document preamble
- insert lyx code:
"""
\begin{grammar}
 ::= "WORLD"
\end{grammar}
"""
- view as pdflatex will produce error
- export as .tex and then run command "$ pdflatex file.tex" will NOT have error

Kind regards
Rav

Well it depends on which version of MikTeX, which version of Windows,
etc. And whether  you are logged in as an ordinary user.

Just read the MikTeX page on it:

http://miktex.org/2.8/issues

I believe the problem I'm seeing is the same described there for
TeXnicCenter "This happens when a missing package needs to be
installed and the pop-up window cannot be displayed."

I've not seen the pop up permission request since the middle years of
WinXP.  Do you see it when LyX needs a package?

And also the problem that motivated somebody to put this message into
the LyXWinTips page:

However, this is against the idea of having a centralized repo of LyX Q

I'd rather make sure all answers on tex.stackexchange have a link to the LyX
