Version: (using KDE KDE 3.3.0) Installed from: Debian testing/unstable Packages OS: Linux Very often while using Kopete with the send shortcut as 'Return' it often sends a blank line, before what I type on the next message, and I am not completely sure why. I only hit the return key once, but it seems to carry it over to the next message I send as well as sending the message.
I also uses Return as shortcut to send. Anyway, it does not appends, or only if i press on return verry long times.
Check your keyboard repeat rate.
This is still happening to this date. Debian sid, KDE 3.5.5 w/ Kopete 0.12.3 I can explain it a little more, though, perhaps this will help. When I type in a message, and then hold down "Enter" to send it, I usually hold it down a little longer than most people I guess, because the start of my next message is a blank line and I end up sending a blank line with what I type for the next message, or I have to manually remove that line that Kopete created. I do not have this problem with Gaim, which works as intended, so I am reopening this in hopes that it will get resolved. -r
The behaviour described in comment 3 is still true in 0.12.4. I suppose it's a bug, but a minor one.
Actually, the basic issue is this: if the input line is empty, pressing Enter inserts a blank line, even if Enter is assigned to "send message". Perhaps related to bug 142877
Confirmed in trunk r828808. The first time I press Enter in an empty input line, a blank line is inserted. The second time, it does nothing. (I would expect it to Send.)
I've submitted a patch to the review board concerning this bug.
