Version: 3.1.3 (using 4.1.3 (KDE 4.1.3), Arch Linux) Compiler: gcc OS: Linux (i686) release 2.6.26-vanilla When opening any text file which contains only text but no carriage return / newline the text is not rendered. Instead it looks like an empty file. As soon as the window is resized horizontally the text is shown as normal. This is very annoying. And yes there are such files in the wild: Some XML-files, lock-files of openoffice.org 3 ... Loaded Plugins: Find files tools view File system Browser Terminal tool view How to Reproduce: Open konsole and enter: echo -n 'some text' > some.txt kate some.txt Expected Behavior: Render text contained in file opened. Additional information: This affects kwrite too requiring a vertical resize.
May I suggest to check for possibly duplicates next time, before submitting a bug. That helps us actually fixing those that still exist :) *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 167767 ***
Sorry about that and for disturbing you again, but those bug is neither listed in "KDE Bug Report Wizard -> Check for Duplicate Bug Reports" (weird imho) nor in "KDE Bug Report Wizard -> Check for Duplicate Bug Reports -> View all open bug reports for product kate." (because already marked as RESOLVED) The bug was marked RESOLVED at 2008-08-18, but still exists in 4.1.2 and 4.1.3 (!) Shouldn't fixes like this be backported to 4.1.x or is 3.5.x still the only "stable" KDE-version wich benefits from bug-fixes ? (confused)
Hmm, that sounds like a bug in our bugtracker. Just tested and I also couldn't find it by searching for "kate newline" even though it definetly has "newline" in the title. May be worth a bugreport against the bugzilla or bugs.kde.org product (can't recall the exact name right now). Backports should be done into 4.1.x, but might not always be possible, or might be forgotten. All I can say is that this works with KDE4 from trunk/.

It is bugs.kde.org and yes searching it really sucks. > Backports should be done into 4.1.x, but might not always be possible, or might > be forgotten. All I can say is that this works with KDE4 from trunk/. Should we reopen the bug because of that ? (might help for 4.1.4 or 4.1.5)
unfortunately bugzilla doesn't allow to specify in a proper way that a bug is only fixed on a particular version (except comments) so re-opening won't do much good, as developers would have to remember to close it again in 2 months. Apart from that there will only be 4.1.4, no 4.1.5.
