Hello,
I have set up a new bug list.
Except for the nasty X Window problems, things have become much better.
I haven't checked the status of undo/redo this time. According to
bugzilla, half of all show stoppers are related to these operations. I
will have a look at them occasionally. But thanks to valgrind everybody
can become a beta tester nowadays :-)
Go on with your excellent work!
Michael

- "faulty.bib" is not parsed correctly and causes a problem (console message) when
choosing a different natbib style for entry "ASN.1:1997"
- Insert an External inset ("Chess") without actually specifying anything the
dialog (close immediately); then select the inset and cut it

- When I change the text of an existing label in a float, there's still the old name
on the canvas (#243)
- Miscellaneous X problems (I am glad that finally others notice them as well):
"BadDrawable (invalid Pixmap or Window parameter)" (when changing LyX window size,
when closing preferences dialog)
"Received unhandled X11 event Type: 0x7Target: 0x20001e8" (when closing the
graphics dialog)
- Please add the following two converters to complete Tgif support
Tgif -> EPS: tgif -print -eps $$i
Tgif -> PDF: tgif -print -pdf $$i
When starting with a tgif file, pdflatex produces bad output; starting with an
eps file (generated by tgif), pdflatex output looks OK; why? which converters
are actually invoked? Are bitmap formats involved?
- Create note/ERT/some_inset; paste some text inside the inset with the middle mouse
button
(text is selected; OK); press return; cursor moves to next line but -> text is still
selected!
- If the LyX window size changes, the red boxes of insets are updated but the line
breaks
of text inside any inset are not updated (#234)
- The measures "t%", "c%", "p%", and "l%" are not easy to interpret (even for
an old LaTeX user); couldn't we afford a longer description (e.g. "column%") in the
minipage and graphics dialog? (and maybe some other dialogs that I forgot)
- New buffer; create ERT with a few pars; (add a few pars after the ERT if you
like - doesn't matter); switch to "inlined view"; switch back to
"open status" -> only one par anymore!
- 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 -> the error box is deleted logically but not on screen (#210)
- If paragraph separation is set to "indentation" in the document layout,
the paragraphs within a fixed width cell are indented, too. Looks
reasonable at first glance but LaTeX does not consider this indentation.
Is there a simple way to ignore indentation within table cells? (#208)
- 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)
- Select a set of cells in a table where the selection covers a cell with a long text;
press a key when the cursor is in an non-empty cell below which text is not as long
-> the blue
background of the former selection is not cleared (#213)
- PageUp does not work well in a (large) note inset; with the cursor in the last line,
it only scrolls to the one but last line (PageDown works well!) (#60)
- Edit->Tabular should be disabled when inside cell text (not cell dummy position)
(#177)
- When changing some font property for a set of table cells, the cell selection is
revoked. (#217)
Checked last time on 2002/02/06:
- Size of graphics cannot be changed for screen output (I know, you are working on
it:-))
- Some memory access problems in undo/redo (see former email with Purify report)
Checked last time on 2002/01/23:
- While playing with an "include" inset (e.g. testing files with invalid name), I got
the following console message: "OkCancelReadOnlyPolicy: No transition for input 2
from state 0"
- Second vertical bar after multicolumn cell is not displayed on screen (see file
"fail2.lyx") (#202)
- Create a document with about 20 open footnotes; then move to the end of the document
and collapse
the footnotes -> the scroll bar is not fully correct when only a few footnote are
left open at the beginning of the doc (#132)
Checked last time on 2002/01/18:
- New Buffer; Alt-x tab<tab>u<tab>i<tab><enter>; after I type "i" the
browser is not closed and remains open; also after I type <enter>.
- add a URL inset into the cell of a table; try to open the URL inset with the _right_
mouse button
-> the URL and the tabular dialog open at the same time (#214)
- PageUp and PageDown should be disabled when some table cells are selected (#216)
- It is intended that "del" in table cell dummy position does not delete cell contents
but "shift+del" does?
- 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!
- Menu items "Layout => XXX Style" are not updated for mathed (but the menu items can
be used in math
mode!) (BTW: Apply "Bold Style" two times to "1*1" and watch) (#233) JM: Has to do
with selections
- If you change a given value in tabular_dialog->cell->fixed_width to "3,5" (with
faulty comma), the field
is completely cleared/reset on "close" ("close" clears the field whereas a click on
another item
within the dialog restores the former value (which is a better approach))
- 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 (#161)
- When the zoom factor is changed in the preferences dialog, the size of
tables (cells) is not updated (#179)
- 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. (#218)
- Insert/Special character/Linebreak shows a very strange behaviour within
mathed especially if you change from math formula to display formula
afterwards (#118)
- Select some text; paste it with middle button (no highlighting); paste it again
(highlighting), paste it again (no highlighting), ... (#35)
- 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 (#182)
- 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 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.
Checked last time on 2001/01/12:
- 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
no difference can be observed! (it took me an hour to analyse the problem :-() (#36)
- Document "fail.lyx" (see former email) does not export to dvi due to a problem with
font settings and tables; in addition, a vertical line is printed erroneously
after a multicolumn cell (#172/#173)
Checked last time on 2002/01/03:
- I have included a plain LaTeX file into my LyX document by "Insert->Include file"
with
option "Use verbatim". Unfortunately, LyX does not notice changes in the TeX file
when updating DVI. Is this a bug or a missing feature?
Checked last time on 2001/12/30:
- reLyX does not translate "\ " and "~" (protected spaces) inside tabulars correctly
(probably because reLyX still generates old-style tabulars) (#180)
- 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!!! (#212)
- 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)
- 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)
- 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)

********************** 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)
- The citation ref. dialog should have a similar feature as the buffer choice in
the cross ref. dialog (#123)
- In the label dialog, the buttons should be reordered ("ok"/"clear"/"cancel") (#85)
