Description Oded Arbel 2007-01-09 13:18:20 UTC 
Version:           3.5.5 (using KDE KDE 3.5.5)
Installed from:    Fedora RPMs
Compiler:          gcc 4.1 
OS:                Linux

When selecting text with Hebrew diacritics (nikud), the selection appears to be skipping as many characters as there are diacritics, after the word with diacritics in it.

Screenshot showing the problem

This is a screenshot of the bug manifesting itself in
http://blog.shemesh.biz/?p=431 . 

I'm currently using Konqueror from Fedora Core 6 with current updates - 3.5.5 .
Comment 2 Diego Iastrubni 2007-12-14 11:58:42 UTC 
Still valid for KDE4
Comment 3 Michael Leupold 2008-04-20 03:21:31 UTC 
Using the original page I can still reproduce this bug on 3.5.9 and trunk r798768. I do however have problems constructing a simple testcase (probably because I don't know hebrew).

If you can please help improve this testcase to expose the problem (maybe I'm attaching the niqqud to letters not suited for it).

My shot at a testcase

Unfortunately this testcase doesn't expose the problem and needs some reworking
by someone who's able to speak hebrew.
Comment 5 Oded Arbel 2008-04-20 03:59:26 UTC 
Regarding Hebrew diactrics (niqqud), generally speaking you can put any kind of diactric symbol on any character which is not a final form (and some even on final forms). While your test case does not use valid Hebrew words or punctuation, I don't think its the problem.

That being said, I can't reproduce the problem in the original page nor in the test case with Konqueror on KDE 4.0.3. I'm going to try for a valid test case.

Comment 8 Oded Arbel 2008-04-20 04:08:37 UTC 
I still can't reproduce this, so I'm closing this bug. Michael - thanks for trying to reproduce this.
