My initial intention was to build your installer, including the update code, except for including a little warning dialog. I understand that you did not like the idea of the warning dialog. The rest of us did not like the idea of the update code. But, in deference to your judgement, I planned to include it. In my testing, however, as I said, the update code failed half the time. It broke perfectly good and *totally up to date* MiKTeX installations in some cases. My judgement was that *that* is very bad, so I decided to remove that code. Not because I know better than you, but because the code didn't work. > I am tired and won't discuss further. There's not really anything left to discuss. You decided to stop producing the official installer, so now someone else does it. Riki

Qt 5.11 seems to have a nice fix for windows users: https://bugreports.qt.io/browse/QTBUG-43190 Qt 5.10 is what mingw currently provides on Fedora. Are you saying you create a Windows release on a Linux system? That is no suitable way of providing Windows build of LyX because you cannot see corner cases like missing files, wrong registry paths, leftovers from previous LyX installations, problems as result of interference of different installed LyX versions on the same PC etc. Please build and test directly on a Windows PC. Also I strongly recommend to use Qt's LTS versions, not the latest. My experience is that there have always been issues after upgrading to a new Qt version. I use for my installer Qt 5.9.4 because this is a well tested LTS-version and LyX doesn't use any new features of Qt 5.10 and 5.11. regards Uwe

Re: thoughts about LyX's future and proposals
Am 10.07.2018 um 00:19 schrieb Uwe Stöhr: As result I wrote this lengthy mail and hope you read it till the end where I make some proposals: Obviously nobody has any comments on my thoughts about LyX's future. That is sad because I only got few private mails as replies stating that indeed the missing fileformat conversion capabilities are a real problem in real life. So what can be done? In my opinion, we should - define the goal of LyX together with our users. Maybe the result is to hide background stuff, maybe it is the opposite. Whatever it might be, that should be the base for future development. - setup a "board of development" that take care of user feedback and who define the things the next version of LyX should have. Such a board should only be 50% consist of developers. Translators are not treated as developers. The idea is to see what people really need and to organize its development so that several developers develop a certain feature. I only made these 2 proposals and thought they are worth to be considered. It is OK not to agree, but what about other ideas or do you think we should just continue as we did the last months? I mean criticism should be constructive. So I would her your ideas for future development. thanks and regards Uwe

I found a regression that I think (based on a bisect) is either related to this commit or to e7fdce0b. Note that I did the bisect on the 2.3.x branch, which corresponds to commits 7b8b3e38 and ef1d5020. To reproduce, open the attached file (which is related to the Hebrew splash.lyx), and place the cursor at the top of the file, then press the down arrow repeatedly. At some point, the blue lines disappear in some places and then reappear. If you cannot reproduce, let me know and I will make a screencast.
