Version: 0.19 (using KDE KDE 3.5.3) Installed from: Unlisted Binary Package OS: Linux As reported in "Bug 98730: Konversation does not warn or display properly outgoing messages that are too long" http://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=98730 Konversation truncates messages, which are too long. I try to explain: By wrapping the long line (e.g 1082 characters) into shorter lines, konversation omits alot of text. The line message has been broken into 3 "messages". The first two messages have around 445 characters, the last one only 100. We sum up, the receiced message has around 990 characters, so there are around 90 characters missing. There are missed at the second and third line, the first 45 characters of these lines were purely omitted. As I checked the source, I saw the proclaimed fix from Bug 98730 is part of the Code of 0.19, but the problem still exists. As Jason Keirstead already said, Konversation should at least tell about the truncated characters, I needed a whole week to get to know about this problem, not sure how many konversation-partners I confused by that.
The code that attempts to figure out after which position to chop up a message that is longer than the limit imposed by the IRC standard is definitely broken at the moment. As for visualizing when a line crosses that threshold while it is being typed in, some kind of (optional) coloring effect for the excess text might be neat.
