Hi all!
Using the weekend to work on the update of the german docs, I stepped
across some more bugs in LyX 1.1.5pre3. Don't know wether some of them
have already been reported, nevertheless here they go:
1 Something is strange with the tabulars. In de_Extended.lyx I had a
table (end of chapter 3.5.3.1) that used to work the last time I
TeXed the file. Now it choked with "illegal unit of measure",
obviously because I did not specify a cell width for some of the
cells. It seems the old format (as I understand, it has changed at
some point) is not imported correctly.
I tried to change the cell widths (which did work) but detected some
more weirdness: The table had multi line entries, and the old format
did specify the width in all lines. The old cell widths are still in
the file after I changed them, but I cannot access them via the
standard table layout dialog. I'll attach the table definition file.
2 something similar with the 'Floatflt' option in
layout->paragraph->ExtraOpt: After viewing that menu in a paragraph
where the option is set, the radio button will be activated in all
other paragraphs, too. The file is processed without errors, nothing
shows up in the lyx file.
3 Table layout dialog, entry 'width': as soon as a "valid entry" is
typed in, any keypress will end the input, i.e. it does accept the
entry and does a focus-out. This is *extremely* anoying if you have
e.g. an entry "3cm" that you want to change to "3.25cm": Typing the
"." already throws you out of the entry field, you have to
mouse-click to enter it again, then press "2" which throws you out
again....
4 The new export-selection to other applications (*very* cool BTW!):
I am using Steak (an en<->de translation program,
http://www.tm.informatik.uni-frankfurt.de/~razi/steak/steak.html)
which also has a nice gtk interface.
When I try to Mouse-2-click insert a selection I made within LyX, LyX
crashes with a SIGSEGV.
5 the strings ?` and !`, typed in as standard text, don't get protected
from LaTeX and therefore appear as ¿ and ¡ in the output.
6 and, an old one which I'm not sure of if I had reported it earlier:
Font change within a word. Say, I have written something,
".... bla bla bla....". Now I want to insert something in front of
the second bla, but in another font, say typewriter. I position the
cursor at the beginning of 'bla', type "M-c t" and start writing.
The new text appears in tt font as requested. If I now hit
"M-c Space", the whole thing is changed back to standard font.
That's it for the moment - probably more to come as I proceed :-/
Greets,
Pit
