 No killers, but several small ones.  Here are some not yet mentioned:
 
 * Free resizing.  Xforms won't let you resize lyx smaller than the
 initial size.

True. But since I didn't know about that I guess I never needed lyx window 
smaller that the initial size.

 
 * The widget used for selecting paragraph type
 standard,bullet,section,chapter,...
is much faster.  With xforms you click it, get a drop list with a
 scrollbar
and navigate that.  With qt3 you click it and keep the button pressed,
and get a pulldown menu with everything in view.  No scrollbar.  Just
move the mouse to the type you want and release the button.
Selecting paragraph types is less work this way.

But pressing Alt+P+key is even lesser work. 

The main advantage (yes, advantage) with xforms is that it supports latin2 
characters out of the box, while with qt I have to chase some package 
around. And I really want to work using computer, not to work on computer.

This is an interesting, although not crucial, feature. But I think I'll

Put the uncompressed patch in the lyx source dir and issue:

patch -p1  patch-1.3.1

-p1 helps the patch program to (loosely said) position itself within the

You shouldn't have any problems with the patch.

After that, issue ./configure options, see README, then make, then
make install.

That's it.

However, it looks that the configure script in 1.3.1 (at least the 
1.3.0+patch version) is broken and make complains about the missing 
aclocal-1.6. With 1.3.0 I had no problems. I'll investigate it a little bit

 I think it is a dependency problem. Files timestamps are not correctly

correctly set to Croatian, meaning that the changed option is saved, 
although not from that tab, but from some other.

Either I don't use it correctly or it's a bug.

1.3.0 Maths Panel missing some button labels

[Davor Cengija]

I have LyX v1.3.0 (xforms) compiled from source on Linux Mandrake 8.2. No 
problems except this one: when Maths Panel is opened, I don't see all the 
labels on the buttons, but when the button is clicked I get a new popup 
window with all the buttons property labeled (in that window).

My buttons look like

+/- empty empty
empty DotsMisc
Greek   empty empty
!( )+/- Misc-- blue colored

So, the labels for the following popups are missing:
- Binary Relations
- Arrows
- Big Operators
- AMS Arrows
- AMS Relations

Maybe I need some additional fonts installed?

 Yes, there is. Having a preference option that is only useful for

 displaying certain documents usefully, is a really bad idea.
 

I'm not an advanced user, but I frequently use \emph and similar commands, 
not to mention my own, really simple ones. E.g., each english word, or a 
word with english roots should be emphasized, and since I write mostly java 
development related documents, I have quite a number of these. With not 
inlined ERT's, either open or closed, my document looks really ugly on the 
screen, almost unreadable. An option 'turn all ERT's to 
inlined/open/closed' would be really useful.

Or if acronym package is used, having each \ac{_acronym_} in a box is a 
little bit cumbersome.

An option ERT.default=inlined would be really useful.


 
 p.s. if it's really sticking in your craw, it's probably quite easy to
 change the lyx source to do what you want - ask us how

That would induce problems while upgrading, wouldn't it?

Option to set all ERT's to 'inline'

[Davor Cengija]

Just yesterday I upgraded LyX from 1.1.6 to 1.3.0 and now I see a lot of 
ERT's. I don't like them.

Basically, I have a lot of \emph's, \myCodeFormat's and other LaTeX or my 
own commands, and now the text on the screen looks really messed up.

I see in the FAQ that each ERT can be displayed as 'inlined'. Is there an 
option to set all the ERT's to 'inline' and that each new ERT have that 
option already set?

This is quite annoying and screen looks almost unreadable.

And I don't see why would it be evil. But I have to admin that 'Evil Red 
Text' is a very good name :-)

 Hello Davor. You could try this little script:
 
 $ cat conv.sed
 /^\\begin_inset ERT$/{
 $!{
 N
 s/Open/Inlined/
 }
 }
 
 $ sed -f conv.sed yourfile.lyx  newfile.lyx
 
 If you have both 'Open' and 'Collapsed' insets and want them all to
 be 'Inlined' then add a line 's/Collapsed/Inlined/' immediately below
 the 's/Open/Inlined/' one.

Thanks for the affort, Angus, I already have something like that.

However, a default setting for ERT's in Preferences would be more than 
useful. I don't know if the developers would like it, but I surely would.

Thanks for the affort, Angus, I already have something like that.

However, a default setting for ERT's in Preferences would be more than 
useful. I don't know if the developers would like it, but I surely would.

I have installed LyX 1.1.6p4 from Mandrake 8.2 distribution, default

/usr/bin/lyx (old LyX).

Now I thought it would be easier, in order to have both versions but to

I just removed the old version and now I can call /usr/bin/lyx or only lyx 
and it correctly opens /opt/share/lyx/... files.

BUG: Insert cross-reference window

[Davor Cengija]

I posted this bug last week, but since nobody confirmed it and
it's still in v1.1.4 I thought it might be good to explain the
bug again.

'Insert Cross-reference...' window does not respond to
keyboard until it's clicked with the mouse. NO matter if it's
opened by M-i r  or  Insert-Cross reference, the one has to
click inside the list of labels and then use cursor keys to
select the wanted label.

"Insert LyX file..." window does not have such a problems.

Thanks.

bug? cursor keys in 'insert reference' window

[Davor Cengija]

My version is 1.1.3 (+ some unofficial patches). www.lyx.org
is down so I couldn't read the ChangeLog.

Bug description:

When 'Insert reference' window is open (by clicking on the
menues or by M-i r) list is in focus but it does not accept
cursor keys for moving between the labels. Only ESC and RET
are recognized and working fine. So, when I open Insert
reference list, I have to give it 'real' focus by clicking
somewhere inside the box where the labels are listed and ater
that I can use cursor keys to select the wanted label.

Insert LyX file works fine, for example.

Not a major bug but annoying when trying to work without
reaching the mouse every now and then.

Thanks.

Yes, some system desc:
Basic Mandrake 6.1 installation (gpm 1.17.9, X 3.3.5, kernel
2.2.13)
Window manager is KDE 1.1.2 but I tried with XFCE too.

Known problem, check the archives; it has something to do with
the 'high-ascii' codes.

There's a patch which fixes it (and several other bugs), as
sent to me by Jean-Marc Lasgouttes

Right. 'inrua' should read 'inria' :(

Anyway, here is the patch.

  This patch fixes three small problems in lyx 1.1.3:
- it is possible to insert spaces in math formulas
- debug messages appear on screen when typing text.
- entering accented characters is broken on some architectures

  It is absolutely not supported, but intended as a stopgap until
  LyX 1.1.4 is released.

lyx new releases - where are the patches?

[Davor Cengija]

I don't see you guys are releasing the patches between the
versions since v1.1. It's pretty annoying downloading the
complete distribution all the time. For example, I really need
this 1.1.4pre1 release, since 1.1.3 crashes all the time (I
can't even write my own name - it crashes on  :-)

So, patch me! :-)

Ok, I tried downloading v1.1.2 and v1.1.3 on my account, and
then diff -u. I've got the patch but when applied locally,
something went wrong and I wasn't able to compile v1.1.3
successfully.

1.1.3 - bug: lyx crashes when 'Ccaron' (0x2F) is pressed

[Davor Cengija]

Hi.

I'm pretty sure this is a bug:
LyX 1.1.3 _always_ crashes when upper Ccaron (Egrave for latin1) is
pressed.

Ccaron looks like C with a little v above it. Egrave looks
like E with comma , above.

xmodmap entry:
keycode 0x2F =  egrave  Egrave

I'm using latin2 codepage (for Croatian language) but it looks
like keycode 0x2F is affected, and not the particular
characher (wether it be upper Ccaron or Egrave).

Other special characters, such as AE (keycode 0x30) or ETH
(0x23) are not affected with this bug.

When run in xterm, LyX complains about found bug and gives no
additional informations.

LyX 1.1.2 (and earlier versions) are not affected.

I downgraded my LyX installation to 1.1.2 and I'm using it now
with no probelms.

My system is freshly installed Mandrake 6.1 (like 'enhanced'
RedHat 6.1) with X11R6 3.3.5. Kernel is 2.2.13, but I think
the problem's in very LyX and not in the system.

If you need gdb output etc, I'll compile v1.1.3 again.

Some system informations:
glibc-2.1.1-16mdk
xforms-0.88-3
pgcc-1.1.3-3mdk

I just tried it and it's working OK (running LyX 1.0.3, RedHat
6.0 and KDE1.1.1 (not pre2!)).

If the problem is not in the KDE pre2 then I really wouldn't
know. Try updating your KDE (rpm's are quite good and the
upgrading procedure is painless).

On the other hand, maybe your mouse is not set up properly.
Try double-click selecting in xterm or netscape... If so,
check the propriate HowTo
