Hi,
I have found a couple of new bugs. Some trivial GUI stuff, a serious
compiler warning and a real crash. As usual please find an updated bug
list enclosed.

LyX 1.2.0cvs - Bug list
Please help me to keep this list up to date.
Report new or fixed bugs *directly* to '[EMAIL PROTECTED]'
*******************************************************************************
Checked last time on 2002/01/03:
- Include a (faulty?) TeX file into an empty document; press return in front
of the include inset such that the cursor is now in an empty paragraph; export
to DVI -> crash

- Menu item "Insert->Include file" is lacking some "..." (trivial GUI stuff)
- Andre: Have a look at the compiler warnings at the end of the document!!!
- I have included a plain LaTeX file (gnpf, reLyX did not import correctly) into
my LyX document by "Insert->Include file" with option "Use verbatim".
Unfortunately, LyX does not notice changes in the TeX file when viewing DVI.
Is this a bug or an unimplemented feature?
- Open menu "View->Table of Contents"; press on "TOC" (Type); "Txype" is misspelled
- Insert->Math->Inline formula does not allow to switch back from a display formula
whereas Insert->Math->Display formula toggles between both modes; both makes
no sense to me
- When I start LyX, the total window size is bigger than the size used for
the document (i.e. there is a lot of space between the scroll bars and the window
frame).
Eventually, LyX crashes in this situation (when opening a new document):
#0 0x402b1861 in kill () from /lib/libc.so.6

#8 0x400ac4fe in fl_get_winsize () from /usr/X11R6/lib/libforms.so.0.89
- The spell checker dialog should not be resized by the user (even accidentally);
can you assign a hardcoded fixed size to it?
Checked last time on 2001/12/30:
- I did not read the full story: "My default paper is US letter, but this is not
picked up by
layout-document-paper, which tries to use cm unless I explicitly specify letter
again." (#146)
- copy and past text from any paragraph style into ERT works well now. But not
vice versa: the textcolor is not changed, it's always red (latex) and provides
latex errors like unknown color latex or unknown language latex (#143)
- It is intended that "del" in table cell dummy position does not delete cell contents
but "shift+del" does?
- When the zoom factor is changed in the preferences dialog, the size of
tables (cells) is not updated
- Shift+CTRL+End at dummy positions in tables has a strange effect when some cells are
selected
- reLyX does not translate "\ " and "~" (protected spaces) inside tabulars correctly
(probably because reLyX still generates old-style tabulars)
- The file format for tables is absolutely bloated. Can't we suppress tags that have
default values (e.g. endfoot="false" or width="0pt" )? Two tiny tables => >1500
lines in LyX file!!!
- Create a 5x5 table and insert anything in the first row; copy this whole row or part
of it;
paste it into the empty second row -> it's not possible to put the cursor anywhere
in all
cells of the new row, it jumps always in front of the text (#134)
- Open new doc; insert float; insert some text into the float; open other doc; close
other doc
-> cursor is at the beginning of the inset (normally it keeps its former position)
(#131)
Test the same with a tabular instead of a float -> afterwards the cursor is in a
different cell!
- Insert a note into an empty doc; insert an ERT into the note -> the note width
changes on screen! (#147)
Click with the _mouse_ past the ERT (but still within the note) -> the cursor is set
past the ERT but the
"TeX" button in the tool bar does not work (the corresponding menu entry
"Insert->TeX" works) (#148)
- Create a document with a note inset, two ERTs (with dummy text) inside the note and
some plain text
(*nothing* else); perform "undo" (until empty doc) and "redo" again -> LyX crashes
(difficult to reproduce;
I hope the backtrace gives some useful information) (#149)

- When starting LyX for the first time, Screen DPI (in the preferences dialog) is set
to "nan".
(LyX did not create an entry in lyxrc.defaults, just in lyxrc.example); I assume an
uninitialized variable
- When changing some font property for a set of table cells, the cell selection is
revoked.
- Create a 5x5 table and place a math formula "1*1" into the center cell; try to select
"1*1" with the mouse -> won't work
- Menu items "Layout => XXX Style" are not updated for mathed (but the menu items
can be used in math mode!) (#130)
- Insert a (math) inset into a table cell. Then, move the cursor along the current
row. The lines at the bottom of other cells are erased (on screen) (#59)
- Insert a minipage inside a 1x1 table inside a figure float; then set the minipage
width
to 90% (whatever that means) -> you cannot invoke the minipage dialog anymore;
there are also general drawing and cursor positioning problems, e.g. try to cut the
minipage
and paste it outside the figure
- Insert a figure float into an empty document; insert a minipage (width: 50%) into
the float (-> background is painted incorrectly) (#155)
- In math mode, enter "a", "^", "_", "<cursorleft>", "<cursorleft>". The subscript of
the
superscript is deleted correctly but a small dot remains as the superscript of "a"
on screen.
- Place an ERT into a figure float; collapse it; place a minipage next to it
-> the green background is painted beyond the right border of the minipage (#155)
- Insert a minipage into an empty document; insert a few characters in front of the
(open) minipage -> the minipage is moved past the right border of the LyX main
window (#125)
- Szenario: An empty doc with an empty minipage; when editing plain text in front of
the minipage

- Insert/Special character/Linebreak shows a very strange behaviour within
mathed especially if you change from math formula to display formula
afterwards (#118)
- In the "open" dialog, "Documents" and "Examples" do not have shortcuts;
in the "external material" dialog, "apply" is not activated if you enter the file
name by hand
- German "ö" (o umlaut) has a strange effect in mathed (#154)
- Select some text; paste it with middle button (no highlighting); paste it again
(highlighting), paste it again (no highlighting), ... (#35)
- The output of the list of possible completions given in the minibuffer if you enter,
e.g.,
"Alt+s" or "Alt+p" is delayed too long (how about 1 or 2 seconds only?) (#124)
- Open new document; insert->float->figure; insert->minipage;
insert->old graphics; insert->tabular material next to the graphics;
place the cursor anywhere in the table (dummy position or table cell
doesn't matter). Now click on the picture -> crash (#153)
- Create new doc; add 5x5 table; insert a letter into each cell of the first column;
set the size of the letter in the topmost cell to tiny (alt+s t) -> incorrect redraw
- Place two 5x5 tables next to each other; add a URL inset into the cell in the center
of
the second table; try to open the inset with the left mouse button -> won't work
(#152)
- Minibuffer message is duplicated:
"LaTeX run number 2 (message LaTeX run number 2)"
Only occurs when you click at menu item "View/DVI"; CTRL-D works well (#122)
- Remove the old graphics inset (from GUI and from code
if automatic conversion is activated and works satisfyingly) (#53)
- Create a table with only one column; why are the lines set differently from bigger
tables?
- Create a table (2 columns, 30 rows; >>screen size); set the second column to fixed
width;
enter some text into a cell and place the cursor in the middle of the text;
scroll down using the mouse/scroll bar; select another cell -> the whole column is
erased (#59)
- Create a very large table (2 cols x 30rows; >>screen size); when selecting cell text
with shift-end or shift-pos1,
the table scrolls quite often unnecessarily, whereas using just
shift-cursorleft/right does not
- Select a set of cells in an empty table and press a key.
the text will be inserted in the last cell after the selection
is cleared (good). but there will be a blue-background cursor
trail, e.g. two cells above. (#56)
- Insert a figure float into an empty document; insert a _large_ table
(>> screen size) into the figure float; add some text right after the
table (in a separate par); select the text -> it is not highlighted! (#127)
- Create new "article (koma-script)" document; insert a minipage; add three pars of
text
into the minipage; set the second par to "minisec" layout; set document to "SGML
article";
remove all error boxes -> error box inside the minipage is cleared internally but
not _on screen_
- Create a document with about 10 open footnotes; then move to the end of the document
and collapse
the footnotes -> the scroll bar is not updated fully correctly (#132)
- If you do not press "save" immediately after pressing "modify" in the
Preferences/Converters dialog, you have no chance to do so later (#151)
- The width (on screen) is computed incorrectly for tables with vertically overlapping
multicolumn cells.
Create a 3x3 table; make cols 1&2 in row 1 a multicol; make cols 2&3 in row 2 a
multicol;
fill multicols with text -> the cell in row 2 is enlarged even though it is not
filled completely (#150)
- If several table cells are combined in one multicolumn cell, the content
of all but the first cell is lost (hidden). IMHO the content of all cells
should be merged in order to prevent unintended loss of text (#121)
- If a footnote is used inside a tabular which is 1) outside floats
2) not in a minipage 3) no long-tabular, the following two lines have to be
inserted to the preamble (according to Dekel):
\usepackage{footnote}
\makesavenoteenv{tabular}
Else you get a footnote symbol but no footnote text.
- Add some labels to your document, then open the "Reference" dialog.
As soon as you move the cursor down in the list of references,
all references (i.e. their names) are shifted to the right
The same problem occurs with "bibliography keys" in the citation dialog
(and in the spell checker dialog / the open document dialog)
- If I start LyX in my document directory, LyX should offer the current directory
as default location in the "Open..." dialog. But it always shows the home
directory instead. (#46)
- PageDown (only 5 lines downwards) and PageUp (movement to either the last
or one but last line) do not work in a (large) note inset (#60)
- The scroll button of a wheel mouse does not work with insets as the cursor
is blocked ("hangs") at some positions; the problem seems to be related to
nested insets (observed with floats)
- Navigate does not work for algorithms and figures (#11)
Checked last time before 2001/12/06:
- It makes a difference whether you mark a whole table and press "Alt+s t" (for size
"tiny")
or you mark the text in each cell individually (line spacing is different!). On
screen
not difference can be observed! (it took me an hour to analyse the problem :-() (#36)
- After defining the Tgif (vector drawing program) file type and
converters to eps and xpm, the graphics inset still does not process
my files.

********************** Bugs that might not be fixed for 1.2.0 :-(
*****************************
- Citation labels should reflect their content, i.e. if only the year is chosen
in the citation dialog, then the label should show the year afterwards. (#114)
- Is there any way to speed up "Search&Replace" when it comes to wide tables? LyX
redraws such
tables hysterically even though the search text is not found in them. IMHO LyX
should only update
the screen when some text is found or the search is finished (#43)
- You cannot delete empty LyX code paragraphs with the backspace key;
however, you can delete them with the delete key (#4)
The same holds for pars within ERT insets (BTW: How about replacing the
lyxcode par layout by an inset? IIRC LyX code has some more problems caused
by them not being real environments)
- Wouldn't it be wiser to have "algorithm"/"figure"/etc. as an option to
a general float? Currently, it is not possible to switch between types
once you have created the float (you must cut&paste the content).
- The citation ref. dialog should have a similar feature as the buffer choice in
the cross ref. dialog (#123)
- A lot of math features are not visible in the GUI, e.g. font settings, macros;
IMHO the GUI should list all LyX features; most users do not read the manual and
will miss some of LyX's pearls (#119)
- Start LyX, open buffer, close buffer, have a look at the minibuffer (#51)
- In the label dialog, the buttons should be reordered ("ok"/"clear"/"cancel") (#85)
- Graphics dialog:
- It is not a good idea to clear the width and height fields if "scale"
is chosen (and vice versa); IMHO new buttons for the three sections
default/height+width/scale should be added and the "Width"/"Height"/
"Scale" labels should become grey if deselected (#112)
- The insertion of a graphic should be delayed until "OK" is pressed
- What's the difference between OK and Apply? It seems to be
impossible to add a second, third,... graphic with the same
dialog (cf. reference dialogs) (#113)
- In the table dialog, you need to enter RETURN in order to set a fixed width
for a column; this is not acceptable because "close" simply throws away your
change without a warning (#110)
- The year of the following bibtex entry is not shown correctly in the citation dialog
(#109)
