First, I want to report that I'm still working on the Hebrew patch.
It is now very functional.
On another matter, I've been using (normal) LyX to write a paper and found
several bugs. The most annoying ones are bugs with math macros:
Bug1:
The cursor behaves badly when deleting a character in an argument of a
math macro.
e.g. try to delete the 'X' in \binom{X+Y}{2} by either delete or backspace.
The character is deleted, but the cursor jumps down.
Bug2:
Define a math macro \x to be 2^{#1} and then enter \x{a+b} in math-mode.
When moving the cursor on the argument of the macro (a+b), the
cursor is displayed in a wrong position.
I think that this problem occurs since the math editor doesn't take into
account the font size of the macro's argument while moving the cursor
(it is taken into account when drawing the macro).
Bug3:
Enter The following in math-mode:
2^\binom{A+B}{2} \binom{A+B}{2}
The result is wrong: The first binom appears in small font, while the
second binom appears in small font.
Besides these bug, I found more (less annoying) bugs:
- A macro can be used even after deleting its definition in the text.
- LyX crashes when trying to enter a recursive math-macro
The error message is:
Macro2 x 5 Math error: Attempting to clean a void array.
Segmentation fault
- Deletion of a math-delim pair can not be done by pressing backspace
after the 2nd delimiter.
- When selecting the nominator (or denominator) of a fraction,
the height of the selection highlight is too big
- The cursor is viewed incorrectly when it is just before a math-display
formula (it appears at the row of the formula).
- When a layout with label starts with a math-display formula, the
label is printed at the row of the formula
- When entering URL in a footnote in the author layout,
the following error occurs while running Latex:
! Use of \@xfootnotemark doesn't match its definition.
- Error messages from latex(or checktex) are displayed in wrong positions
(I think it happens when there are math macros)
- Spell checking is very slow (much slower than klyx)
Finally, the following are display quirks:
- The comma in math-mode looks bad (e.g $i,j$)
- There isn't enough space between the sum symbols in
\sum_{i=1}^{9}\sum_{j=1}^{9} when using math-display formula
