I'm forwarding this, then, to the devel list. As I said, we've seen some
issues with Wayland, though my sense is that these are Qt issues,
mostly, not LyX issues (though they become LyX issues, since we depend
upon Qt).

If you have an option to try other Qt versions, that also could be helpful.

This sounds like it could be a shortcut conflict. Some wm's capture
keystrokes and interfere with LyX's own capturing of keystrokes. There's
not much we an do about that---if we never see the keystroke, we can't
respond to it. Hard to know if that's your issue or not.

Re: lyx crashes while menu navigating to the left

2020-02-19 Thread V K
If you are able to compile LyX on your own with debug symbols (or if you
can install debug symbols on Manjaro) and get a backtrace, that would be
very useful. We can help you do that if need be.


Riki


PS Please bottom post and reply to the list.






I'm constantly forgetting about bottomposting and replaying to all, sorry.

I can try install debug symbols and get a backtrace if you'll provide 
instructions – I don't know about that anything. Manjaro is just a bit more 
stable Arch, so instructions to Arch should work.

One more question. I installed Lyx in Windows (at work, I rarely use it) 
without admin privileges and can't find file lyxeditor.cmd. Wiki says, that it 
is essential to run inverse search from SumatraPDF. Is this file hidden 
somewhere or I should create it following this advice: LaTeX/LyX — 
Documentation: Windows 0.1.0 documentation

Can you give more detailed instructions? Here's what I did (using
English GUI):

1. Alt-N, to open the Navigate menu

2. Bookmarks is highlighted, so hit right arrow to open that menu.

3. Hit right arrow again. This takes me to the Document menu.

What version of Qt is installed on your machine?

I think, I narrowed the cause. I'm working in Wayland (Sway). There is no crash 
when I'm launching Lyx with xwayland (as "QT_QPA_PLATFORM=xcb lyx") and hitting 
right when I am in the Bookmarks sub-menu takes me to the Document menu. But 
Lyx in Wayland crashes when I do the same.
I just receive your mail. Yes, it's Wayland.

 One more small thing Alt-I (to open Insert menu) isn't working when you press 
it first after launching program while other menus all are working. After 
launching some other menu by Alt Alt-I is working. That is in Wayland and X11.

What desktop or window manager are you using? There have been some weird
things on Wayland.

If you are able to compile LyX on your own with debug symbols (or if you
can install debug symbols on Manjaro) and get a backtrace, that would be
very useful. We can help you do that if need be.

Re: lyx crashes while menu navigating to the left

2020-02-19 Thread V K

Steps to reproduce: navigate through menus with keyboard (arrows), let's say, 
menu Navigate, go deeper into sub-menu (Bookmarks – Save Bookmark 1) and if 
there will be no more sub-menu in the left but you press left arrow Lyx crashes 
and after relaunching there is no documents from last session. If you go right 
with arrow, this opens right to the active menu. If you go to the left from 
menu item that hasn't sub menu (let's say, Navigate – Next Note), Lyx is not 
crashing and that opens next to the left menu.

lyx crashes while menu navigating to the left

2020-02-19 Thread V K
I think, I've found a bug.
Steps to reproduce: navigate through menus with keyboard (arrows), let's say, 
menu Navigate, go deeper into sub-menu (Bookmarks – Save Bookmark 1) and if 
there will be no more sub-menu in the left but you press left arrow Lyx crashes 
and after relaunching there is no documents from last session. If you go right 
with arrow, this opens right to the active menu. If you go to the left from 
menu item that hasn't sub menu (let's say, Navigate – Next Note), Lyx is not 
crashing and that opens next to the left menu.
