Version: kate 3.3.1 / kwrite 4.3.1 (using KDE 4.3.1) Compiler: installed from openSUSE 11.2 rpm OS: Linux Installed from: openSUSE RPMs Open Kate (or KWrite), write some text, then select some of it. Now open any other application so that the Kate window loses focus, then click in the Kate window so that it gets the focus back. The selection is deleted. Especially annoying when copying into other applications: I select a piece of text, copy to clipboard (by any means), paste in the other application... and when I return to Kate the selection is deleted, unless I un-selected it first. Kate is my favourite text editor by miles, but this little problem is making holes in my code... :)
Never heard something like that and cannot reproduce. Sounds like broken packages, but I'm not sure. Anyone else?
Have the same problem on two machines, one i586 and one x86_64, with both Kate and KWrite; packages are: kate-4.3.1.-3.7.x86-64 kate-4.3.1.-3.7.i586 kwrite-4.3.1-5.6.3.x86_64 kwrite-4.3.1-5.6.3.i586 all downloaded from the official openSUSE servers (these are the latest versions available there). Would have to be four different broken packages... if you think it's a compiling problem on openSUSE's end, I can file a bug report with them, but I don't think that's likely. Being a happy YaST user I never taught myself to compile my own stuff, so wouldn't know how to compile from source code - but might give it a try all the same if nothing else comes up. Anybody else having the same problem?
Can you try KDE 4.3.3 or 4.3.4? There should be openSUSE packages as well.

@Haro: Can you upgrade to KDE 4.4 and then compile Kate yourself from gitorious: http://gitorious.org/kate/pages/Building%20Kate Do you still have the problem here?

SVN commit 1132057 by cullmann: dhaumann: fix crash in sort method of document sort list proxy model for KDE >= 4.4 BUG: 220308 BUG: 203774 M +1 -1 kateviewdocumentproxymodel.cpp WebSVN link: http://websvn.kde.org/?view=rev&revision=1132057
Desperately looking for this fix. when will it available?
Uhm, did I close the right bug here? As said, I still cannot reproduce the deleted selection after focus regain.
as per comment #8 its fixed in kde4.4.4 but in update I don't see any 4.4.4 ? my current machine is kde4.4.3 and kate version is 3.4.3 so till the today's update I haven't seen this is being fixed. so I am looking release of kde4.4.4 so that I can able to update it.
As said, was commenting on wrong bug probably... But still, noone of us can reproduce. We won't be able to do anything about it... Sorry.
Reporting is concern I am 100% sure that I am commenting on correct bug report. As far duplication of behaviour : I have two fedora 12 machines. and on both machine I can see the same behaviour. Will you please guide me what are the debugging things you want from my end so that it will helpful to resolve this issue? You know I am really fan of Kate editor. even I love kate much more than any Hollywood celebrity :) . so by this bug I can't able to do much work on kate. Myself I also web programmer. so lets say If I select perticular text and changes to different opened page on and when I came back to previously selected text page then suddently selected text disappear. so on that time I have to again do cntrl+z (undo) to get back that text. Please help me.
I've tried to reproduce on KDE 4.3.5 (Mandriva 2010.0) and 4.4.4 (F13) without any success. I don't remember anything like this happening in the previous versions, either. Maybe some weird configuration issue on your end... Can you please provide exact, detailed steps to reproduce? (the text in question, details like where do you click to regain focus etc.) Or possibly locale-related? Are you using any special input methods, RTL or stuff?
Created attachment 47992 [details] kpackagekit This is kpackagekit configuration but I still didn't get kde4.4.4 for updation. do you know why ?
Hello Tomas, Dominik, Thanks for showing interest. let me tell you something so it will be easier. all you guys having kde 4.4.4 but I don't have kde4.4.4 I have only kde4.4.3 Q: How I checked which version of kde I have it ? A: Open kate -> help -> About kde ... its saying "platform version 4.4.3) Q :what is kate version ? A : Open kate ->help -> About kde ... its saying 3.4.3 i am sure now you might be surprised that if my machine is fully updated still why I didn't get 4.4.4 ? so here is following details on kpackagekit selection A: see attached image file. Q: How to go to problem A: a) Open kate with two document. b) it doesn't matter whether that file is saved or not. c) Let say we given name of two file "page1.txt" and "page2.txt" now write down something on page1.txt file. let say "hello world" d) now imagin that you want to copy/paste that 'hello' word to page2.txt. so you use arrow Alt + Right/Left arrow. e) now you are on page2.txt where you have pasted word "hello" f) so when you left page1.txt then you might have selected word as "hello" so now when u refocus on page1.txt then I am expecting word "hello" as still selected. g)but when I come to page1.txt "hello" word is vanished.
1) KDE 4.4.4 for Fedora 12 is in updates-testing (i.e. that "Fedora 12 - Test Updates" repository. The easiest way to update KDE without pulling in lots of unrelated bleeding edge packages is to run yum: yum --enablerepo="updates-testing" upgrade "kde*" 2) I've followed your directions and got two files, file1 contains "hello world" (with "hello" selected), file2 contains "hello" (unselected). I can switch them happily (using both mouse and keyboard shortcuts) without anything wrong happening. But what seems to be a possible source of misunderstanding: "I am expecting word "hello" as still selected" vs. ""hello" word is vanished" Do you mean the word disappears completely (i.e. is deleted), or is it just the selection that's forgotten (i.e. the word "hello" is still there, but unselected)?
First I will upgrade that kde 4.4.4. once I upgraded and problem is resolved then no issue. if not resolved then I will create one small video so that it will even better to understand.
I am getting following message what will be reason for it ? # yum --enablerepo="update-testing" upgrade "kde*" Loaded plugins: fastestmirror, presto, protectbase, refresh-packagekit Error getting repository data for update-testing, repository not found
It's called "updates-testing", i.e. you're missing the "S" in "updates"
Opps sorry. :)

Even I tried to "yum clean all" still it says "No Packages marked for update" Why this is so? I thought that I will get kde4.4.4 and its packages. am i wrong somewhere ?
This is caused by the protectbase plugin, please add --disableplugin=protectbase to the yum command
upgrading is started. I will let you know once its finished. I really happy KDE guys are really helpful. thats why I am big fan of you guys hats off. Thank you. I will get back to you tomorrow on this.(As process may take long time to download)
Created attachment 48021 [details] Portion of Kde desktop Hello Tomas, I did what you have said. even updated to kde 4.4.4 but still didn't find my solution. even for better understanding I have recorded portion of my desktop.
Great, that video helped a lot! Now I at least understand the problem you're getting. However, still can't reproduce this. Are you running Kate within a GNOME session? Or just using GNOME icons (I can see those in the video) in KDE? Are you also using the GTK+ widget style (or anything else that is not Oxygen)?
Created attachment 48023 [details] System Settings I am using KDE as session. and these are images of system settings.
One more thing. I am using Workspace as Oxygen theme.
Any fix? or solution.
Manish, you probably will never get a fix for that... No one else can reproduce. Even if it is a bug in Kate, what shall we do? Try using another theme then. Start "klipper" in case it is not started. Close "clipper" (in the system tray) in case it is running... Check the options in clipper's config dialog... Try to change your X configuration and what not... Sorry... :( If you have KDE 4.4, please also build the current development version of Kate according to http://gitorious.org/kate/pages/Building%20Kate It's very easy, stable and won't touch your global KDE installation. Is the bug also reproducible here?
Thank you for so far your help. Might be after some configuration you will be also come across this bug and try it to resolve. I am happy that you have assisted me till the date. Thank you once again.
Please compile kate as mentioned in comment #32. Maybe this will help.
Created attachment 48106 [details] Command line execution log These are the command line execution log file. where I have open the kate then selected the text and focused on kate opened another file and refocus on same selection file. I hope now this helps you even more to reach to problem. My Status: when I compiled kate according to given instruction "http://gitorious.org/kate/pages/Building%20Kate" problem still exist in newly build kate. Let me know if you need anything more.

When I logged in as root and executed kate then this bug doesn't appear on the same machine. may I know what might be reason? deleting existing user will not be good for me. so will you please just focus what might be wrong ?
Some how I trace from which application it might causing error. from im-chooser if select ibus then this behaviour is occured but if I select "x compose table" then this problem doesn't appears.
SVN commit 1144412 by pletourn: Remove selection only when receiving input CCBUG:220308 M +2 -3 kateviewinternal.cpp WebSVN link: http://websvn.kde.org/?view=rev&revision=1144412
@Manish: Can you git pull again once Christoph merged Pascal's change to git?
Yes. I will do it. just let me know after Christoph merged these changes.
Merged, you can git pull now :)
From IM-Chooser (If I select IBus) then its not working properly (behaving same as specified in this bug). But If I select "X compose table" then its working properly.
