Version: (using KDE KDE 3.0.3) Installed from: SuSE RPMs OS: Linux I have a very serious problem with the latest versions of KDevelop: For certain unusual characters, the editor will silently drop the last character on the line when I press Enter to make a line break. The data loss seems to happen only with some characters: e.g., '§', '½', 'å', 'ö', and 'ä'. I find that the version shipped with KDE 3.0 was the last one that didn't have this problem. The bug has caused me mysterious build errors and erroneous output.
The problem is worse than I imagined: if I copy some text that has lines that end with one of the problematic characters, those characters will silently be dropped when pasted. This is totally unacceptable! I'm repeating the list of characters here, since it seems it got mangled when I posted: '
which version are you talking about? Which editor are you using?
I have uninstalled KDevelop, so I cannot see the exact version, but it's the one shipped with SuSE 8.1. The editor I'm talking about is KDevelop's built-in one.
KDevelop 2.x cannot handle non-latin1 characters. Note that non-latin1 characters are depreceated in source files anyways. Try the new KDevelop (gideon), it should work there.
To my knowledge, these characters _are_ part of latin-1. As I don't have a Gideon binary for SuSE, I cannot try it, but I hope somenone can make sure that the bug is gone, by copying some Ruby code that should expose the bug, into Gideon: <code> text = %Q
Sorry, I was silly to use Konqueror (3.0.3) to enter my last comment; it removed all the line breaks.
I just attempted to copy those characters in with gideon and it handled them okay. I tried about every combination of editing I could think of, and they lived through it.
