Wrong sorting of languages in Document dialog.

[ps@…]

the strings in the box Layout->Document...->Languages->Language
are sorted as english strings regardless localisation settings.

this gives ugly results and user can even close the whole dialog,
because the language he searched for "was not in the box" (i.e.
accented first letters are at the end of the list).

[Juergen Spitzmueller]

Hm, at least in the german translation they are sorted correctly.

[ps@…]

i havent seen in de.po, that you have accented letter as the first letter
of the language naming. otherwise it is not probable you will register it...

[Juergen Spitzmueller]

I misread your report. Sorry.

[Uwe Stöhr]

Pavel, pease also send your patch to the LyX-devel list so that it can be approved.

[lasgouttes]

Fixed in trunk. (note that the bug number in the log is wrong...)

Log:
Patch from Pavel Sanda

• frontend_helpers.cpp (Sorter): use the current locale for sorting (#2739)

• frontend_helpers.cpp: cleanup headers.

[Juergen Spitzmueller]

not fixed in 1.4.x, I guess.

The patch in comment 7 causes a crash on Windows (it is ok on Linux).

When trying Document->Settings, LyX crashes with the message
Caught "normal" exception: St8bad_cast

This is with a MinGW build, so maybe this only occurs with gcc?

The patch in comment 7 also causes a crash on FreeBSD:

Most probably the culprit is a missing locale facet.

Could you please open a new bugreport for this issue?

[ps@…]

the fix is already in the list:
​http://www.mail-archive.com/lyx-devel@lists.lyx.org/msg122320.html

[Uwe Stöhr]

the fix is already in the list

But not in bugzilla. To assure that this is not lost we need a new bugzilla
entry with the URL to the fix.

[forenr@…]

The patch has been already applied:

I have commented out revision 18988: the thing turned out to be not ready yet.
It crashed on many systems and with specific locale settings. Here on openSuse
10.2 x64, for instance, it crashed on:

• LANG=en_EN lyx
• Tools->Preferences

So we need more time to fix this properly.

just for record

[ps@…]

current 'reverted' with #if 0 solution still breaks gcc-3.

[Juergen Spitzmueller]

also if
#include <locale>
is commented out?

[ps@…]

this is not worth investigation.
we should either put try-catch patch into rc3 or complete revert patch i sent to
ml if no rc3 appears and then put try-catch shortly after 1.5.0 out.

[ps@…]

patch

[Juergen Spitzmueller]

I'm not sure if this should go into 1.5.1. I'd rather put it in trunk and wait
with branch unless it proved more stable than the previous approach.

[ps@…]

ok with me

[Juergen Spitzmueller]

Is this already in trunk?

[ps@…]

no. fyi somebody in between changed the whole structure of file and even class
sorter.

[Juergen Spitzmueller]

Then we gonna postpone this. This has to go to trunk first.

[ps@…]

i put it in trunk, ​http://www.lyx.org/trac/changeset/21598 .
as 1.5 series go more and more stable we should be more paranoid about importing
new crashes. this patch previously showed its danger so i tend to change target
milestone to 1.6 instead 1.5.x.

[Juergen Spitzmueller]

OK, let's do this, then.

[younes]

should be fixed again in trunk now.

Hopefully fix locale aware language sorting in document and prefs dialogs.

LyX 1.6.0 is released.

Someone broke it again.

[ps]

Strange, I'm sitting at my homebox and sorting looks correct.
