Version: 2.3.5 (using 3.5.9, Kubuntu (hardy) 4:3.5.9-0ubuntu7.1) Compiler: Target: i486-linux-gnu OS: Linux (i686) release 2.6.24-20-generic I use KDE3 versions of both the Juk and Kate packages. If Juk is paused and I perform a search and replace in Kate, Juk unpauses. Then, after finishing the current song, it pauses again and the seek bar moves to about 1/4 of the way through the song (always to the same position, even in songs of different lengths). If I start a different song, pause again and then do another search and replace, this happens again! I've never seen anything like this. It happens even when I do not press any keys other than letters in the course of performing the search and replace.
Perhaps connected to notifications? Could you make sure that all audio notifications for Kate are turned off? (Just a wild guess -- that's obviously not a long term solution, just trying to figure out where the connection might lay.)
Where do I look for the audio notifications?
Chris, Use "kcmshell kcmnotify" to bring up the notifications configuration (also available under KControl if you look for "Notification" if I remember correctly) I poked around at the code and I didn't see anything weird in kwrite or kate that jumps out. I suspect the real cause is due to KMessageBox (and indirectly to KNotify, the notification event system) So you should also try other things that would case a message box to popup if you can think of them. One more thing: When you go into the notifications configuration, there is a button in the lower right called Player Settings if I remember right. If you click on that there should be a slider where you can adjust the volume? Is it set to 100%? If not, can you try again after setting it to 100% and then clicking OK on all the dialogs and such? There's a section in kdelibs/arts/knotify (notifyBySound) where the code does a couple of things extra if volume is not set to 100% which I have a hunch may be causing the bug. I believe this is a duplicate of bug 124729 based on being able to cause unpausing via a different means (trying to overwrite a file causing a dialog box to popup) but I'm not entirely sure yet.
There's no way I'm ever going to be able to reproduce this bug, I haven't had kdelibs3 installed in over a year. If you continue to experience there's a group trying to maintain KDE 3 though: http://trinity.pearsoncomputing.net/
