Thankyou for reporting.  Can you tell me how to enable input of Panjabi into kate, in order to reproduce this?  I can't find anything on google about it, and installing the packages here didn't add it to skim (the input method switcher i have installed).

Comment 2 A S Alam 2007-11-07 02:48:39 UTC

for google, as Panjabi== Punjabi, but I guess only "Punjabi" is used everywhere
so may be that issue and "Panjabi" no-where.

I m using skim (scim) for Input Punjabi, with Following package
---
aalam@linux-aalam:~> rpm -qa scim* skim*
skim-1.4.5-120
scim-qtimm-0.9.4-121
scim-tables-additional-0.5.7-109
scim-1.4.7-24
scim-tables-skim-0.5.7-109
scim-tables-0.5.7-109
scim-m17n-0.2.2-69
-----

available layouts: Jhelum, Inscript, Phonetic 
with Jhelum:

Keystrokes are like: 
k p l n

ok, tested with RC1, still problem exist with following details:
kdelibs4-3.96.0-2.1
kde4-konqueror-3.96.0-2.3
kde4-kwrite-3.96.0-2.3

kde4-kate-3.96.0-2.2

Comment 4 Hamish Rodda 2007-12-10 03:39:06 UTC

I have now been able to test this, and indeed this problem is the same as that for bug 152808, which I fixed recently.  So, this should be fixed if you install KDE from svn, or try any version after RC2 (eg. RC3, when released)

*** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 152808 ***

Comment 5 A S Alam 2007-12-19 06:13:12 UTC

yes, it is fixed in latest Release
kde4-kate-3.97.1-2.5 (RC2)
kdebase4-3.97.1-2.5

thanks
