Please provide us with a file and exact instructions as to what to select and where to paste. As soon as I know when and how the change occurs, I will post more information. Since the text is changed in an area not currently being viewed during edit, you don't know the change has taken place until you run the program and find errors and find the places the text pieces have been added. I am a programmer as well, so I will do my best to find more information. I am positive it happened during a paste or using the mouse scroll wheel. In each case, the piece added matched another peice of code, less a $ char. I have only been using KATE for 2 weeks, so i'm expecting the bug to happen again. it is possible that your scrollwheel acts as third mouse button, too, and may be accidently triggered while scrolling? this would lead to some paste events while scrolling around ;) sorry, no bug in kate bug ;) Similar problem exists in KWrite. When I am editing (copy, delete), the text gets inserted automatically at multiple random locations. The problem becomes evident only while compiling. However, I experienced this problem only when I am using KWrite on SUSE 10.3. It does not have problems on Ubuntu. |
Version: 2.2.1 (using KDE KDE 3.2.3) Installed from: Conectiva RPMs OS: Linux While editing perl code files, KATE will take it upon itself to insert random text in places. In each case it is a result from a copy-past where a variable is being pasted. You don't know this change has happened until you get compile errors. For example, if I am copying and pasting DM_DBconnect($); the following happens: $here = <<"EDITBLOCK"; EDITBLOCK randomly changed to $here = <<"EDITBLOCK"; EDITBLOCKDM_DBconnect and elsif($RunCount == 7) { randomly changed to elsif($RunCount == 7) {DM_DBconnect(
