Hello,
I checked out lyx-devel today. Below please find an updated list of outstanding
errors. Some things have become better, some worse...

Tables:
- LyX crashes (!) if a protected blank is inserted at the beginning
of a cell
- When selecting text by doube-clicking the left mouse button,
the cell content is displayed in the top left corner of the main
lyx window!
- It is impossible to select all cells of a column with the cursor
keys (it works with the mouse)
- Shift+Home and Shift+End do not work correctly
- PageDown and PageUp do not work correctly when the cursor is
at the beginning of a cell (not inside the red box)
- the selection of text with
Shift+CTRL+CursorLeftRight does not work correctly;
- "find & replace" do not consider tabulars
- it is not possible to mark more than one cell and
to change, e.g., the font size inside all cells at once
- Minor issue: Some repaintings are incorrect. Example:
Insert a tabular into an algorithm float, then scroll through
the document by using the left mouse and the vertical bar at the right
of the main LyX window -> the red border of the algorithm float is
partially erased (probably by repainting the table)
Character layout:
- According to the dialog, the font size cannot be toggled;
however, if you activate toggling for the properties above, the font
size is toggled as well (in fact it toggles with the
default size which doesn't make things any better)
Tool bar:
- the "Font" button/"font-free" command does not conform to what
the user specifies in the "Layout/Character" dialog concerning
toggling/setting of properties.
The "Font" button must behave identically to the "apply" button
in the "character" dialog! This seems to be a real bug.
In order to fully convince you, I would like to note
that in practice (I am working very practically with LyX these days :-)),
the current "font-free" implementation (which always toggles
all properties) is quite unfortunate:
Just imagine the case that you are not sure whether you have assigned
a unique font size to a section and therefore you click on the "Font"
button; afterwards you are as wise as before :-()
Layouts & Templates:
- Foil headings (various kinds) are not added to a virtual "TOC"
(needed for navigation)
- A small typo in g-brief.de-Template ("freunlichen" ->"freundlichen")
^
Compiling:
- included libsigc++ cannot be compiled with Sun CC 6.0 (Allan, any ideas?);
minor compile problems with LyX code (can be fixed easily)
Start screen:
- The LyX logo stays on top and hides, e.g., the "open" dialog
Math mode:
- The symbols for \land and \lor are not printed on screen
LaTeX Output:
- A simple LaTeX preamble for passing information about title,
subject and author to pdflatex is missing
- What happened to the "LyX Code" problem (see my previous emails)?
Console output when compiling LyX with assertions:
- "help, destroyme!"
Documentation:
- the German translation does not reflect the new menu structure
(the english reference manual also requires some refreshening)
- remove a few outdated bugs in bugs.lyx
(IMHO do not provide such a file at all; it is supposed to be
out-of-sync before it is translated into German, French, etc.)
