Another thing that I would like to have fixed as soon as possible is the
find/replace dialog.
Known bug I think, we just need someone to look at it.
The only thing that isn't working properly is, that LyX
doesn't scroll the current caret position into view.
Could you expand a bit please? I don't understand "caret".
Let's suppose that we search the string "the" in the text "This is the
text". Before the search, the cursor (caret) position (marked here as _) is
in front of "This": "_This is the text". LyX searches and finds the word
"the" and puts the cursor behind it: "This is the_ text". So, searching
seems to work properly. But, when the expression, that I am searching, is in
a lower part of the text, so that you have to scroll down the window in
order to see it, lyx just puts the cursor behind the expression but doesn't
scroll it into view. When I close the find/replace dialog and move the
cursor using the arrow keys I see that lyx has found the expression.
So, it seems to be just the scrolling.
No, it's the search&replace routines that fail. I am relieved that it is
not scrolling actually.
Apart from some sudden crashes, LyX 1.6 looks pretty fine.
If you are able to reproduce crashes, please report them in bugzilla,
with backtrace if possible.
Ok, I'll keep you informed if I am able to reproduce them.
You're welcome but you would do us a favor if could help us finish it.
Reporting bugs properly is a good way to help us :-)
I think it's the only way how I can contribute, as I don't know C++ very
well...
Oh but that would be already an excellent contribution if you manage to
compile in debug mode and report reproducible bugs. As far as C++ is
concerned, you don't need to be a master in order to contribute.
