[patch] sometimes only paragraph of cursor is visible, #3231

2007-06-09 Thread Stefan Schimanski
Here is a fix for the grey-bar bug, i.e. randomly only the current  
paragraph is drawn and everything else is greyed out.


I think it is related to synthetic mouse event. Somehow a redraw is  
triggered, but the ViewMetric.update_strategy is set to  
NoScreenUpdate. The two condition, that I change in the patch,  
evaluate to true and the grey bars are drawn.


Here is a backtrace of the issue:

It happened with two footnote in the view, just moving the mouse  
around. So could it be related to the mouse hover maybe?


I think though that the change in the patch is reasonable  
nevertheless. The comparison to SingleParUpdate is wrong. The  
drawText function must work with every update_strategy.

I think you're right Stefan and the problem is most certainly caused by 
a combination of mouse hover and SinglePar when the focus comes back.

SingleParUpdate? I thought it was about NoUpdate. But shouldn't we just
return when vi.update_strategy == NoUpdate? And why are we calling
paintText in the first place?

Sorry if the questions don't make much sense, it's a long time I don't look
at this part of the code... ;-)

The problem is that, when mouse hovering, no text painting should be 
needed, only background. But, because of current architectur where text 
is drawn _after_ background, we are forced to do the text painting. 
Changing this (using text on transparent background painting) basically 
needs a rewrite of rowpainter hence a 1.6 business).
Now, in case when mouse hovering hapens just after a SinglePar update 
and at the same screen location, grey areas are drawn before and after 
the current paragraph. I am not sure I am clear...

Not completely, but thanks a lot anyway.
So, why the NoUpdate flag if the background is to be repainted? And then, if
NoUpdate still repaints the background, why do we have the grey areas bug,
are vi.y1 and vi.y2 wrong for some reason?

You can issue redrawing from vi.y1 to vi.y2, e.g. the upper and lower  
line of a paragraph, with update_strategy set the NoUpdate. With the  
old behavior in this case the paragraph was redrawn correctly, but  
then _all the remaining part_ of the screen was painted grey. Hence  
the grey bars in certain cases.

Seems like a stretch of the meaning of NoUpdate doesn't it. Why not just
using SingleParUpdate in this case.

Actually the redraw of text is _always_ from vi.y1 to vi.y2. The 
SingleParUpdate is only meant to signal that there are still other paragraphs
on the screen which _should not_ be greyed out. IIRC and nobody has overhauled
this code since ;-/

Actually something seems to have happened... there is a bitstring func_attrib
containing NoUpdate and SingleParUpdate as bits, in LyXAction.h; and then 
there is an enum ScreenUpdateStrategy also containing SingleParUpdate in 
MetricsInfo.h. 

Why are there two, and what is their relationship if any? If one wanted
to cause confusion, this would be the way to go about it :-(

NoUpdate and SingleParUpdate are about _text_ _metrics_ updating, its a 
Cursor thing. ScreenUpdateStrategy should be only about screen updating, 
so it's a frontend thing and BufferView make the link between the two. I 
introduced ScreenUpdateStrategy in order to cope with the decoration 
update case. I agree there's some confusion there though; we can 
revisite that field in 1.6 when we cleanup the "rowpainter".

Hum... actually we don't ;-)

NoScreenUpdate is just a way to reset the ScreenUpdateStrategy.

If we really aren't, then the patch from Stefan (at the top of this thread)
shouldn't make any difference. But it does.
