Description Wolfram R. Sieber 2005-04-13 10:36:01 UTC

Version:           Unbekannt (using KDE 3.3.2,  (3.1))
Compiler:          gcc version 3.3.5 (Debian 1:3.3.5-8)
OS:                Linux (i686) release 2.6.8-2-k7

In the knotes context menu there are three sections of available actions. One of them is: cut / copy / paste / delete.

Since the delete action is listed together with cut, copy and paste, it persuades it behaves similar. But under KDE 3.3.2 / knotes 3.4 it does not: If you select a piece of text and then use the cut action, only the selected part will be cut off. On the other hand, if you use Delete it erases all text of the whole note. That's a bit unexpectedly.

Therefore the delete action should be visually separated from the three others (i.e. by placing Delete into another section) or it should behave like Cut, Copy, and Paste. (Paste behvaes similiar to Cut and Copy, too, since it doesn't overwrite the whole note but inserts chunks of text.)
