After a couple of hours testing yesterday's lyx-1.5, two problems stand out:
* I can move the cursor out of the window! Normally, lyx scrolls down when the cursor is on the last line
in the main window and I press down arrow. Now, the cursor just keeps going down and disappear from the window. :-( Actually typing anything will correct the situation, the document will then jump so the cursor is within the visible area. A bit too eager on the drawing optimizations? * Crazy scrollbar! Due to the problem above, I try to use the scrollbars to find the cursor. Scrolling by clicking the little arrows on the scrollbar jumps one line. That part is fine. Scrolling by dragging the thumb is also fine. It may eat up to 100% of the 2.4GHz cpu capacity, but feels snappy enough. Scrolling by clicking between the thumb and the little arrow button is worse. Doing this, I expect a jump the size of one window, perhaps a single line or two less than that. (In case of big images, please use a screenful minus a _standard_ line or two, not an actual line!) Unfortunately, the jump is much smaller, three lines or less. This is way too little! It is supposed to be like page down, which at least goes half a screen. Now that isn't exactly too much either . . . Due to problems already mentioned, I press and hold the scrollbar down, either the scrollbar arrow or in the jumpscroll area above. This is where it really breaks down. The document scrolls, and when I release the mouse, it keeps scrolling for a long time. It is just like keyboard autorepeat gone bad, buffering lots of extra keypresses. Except that this is a mouse button, not a keyboard key. Other than this, lyx-1.5 seems nice enough today. I'll keep using it looking for more issues. Helge Hafting
