Description Peter Magdina 2008-02-19 22:47:09 UTC

Version:           4.5.9 (using 3.5.9, compiled sources)
Compiler:          Target: i586-mandriva-linux-gnu
OS:                Linux (i686) release 2.6.24.2-server-1mdv

After pasting of multi-line text cursor is positioned at the end of the first line of pasted text. It should be positioned (moved) to the absolute end of the pasted text (block). It means after the last character of pasted text.

How to reproduce:
- copy block of text with more than one line
- paste it 
- cursor is positioned to the end of the first pasted line and not to the end of the block

Please, solve it as soon as possible, because I used this editor very often and it limits me. ;-)
Thanks.

This is a big regression for me too. Tested with Mandriva packages 3.5.9.

Comment 2 Colin Guthrie 2008-02-19 23:27:28 UTC

The only change to the kate/part in the last six months is here detailed on bug #146300. I can't see how this would affect this but it's possibly worth reverting that patch to see if it restores the behaviour.

Comment 3 Peter Magdina 2008-02-20 10:01:00 UTC

Can you try to revert that patch? I don't have development environment for KDE installed.

Comment 4 Colin Guthrie 2008-02-20 10:18:02 UTC

Will do. I just need to wait for the Mandriva SVN to come out of maintenance so I can patch it in to our package nicely. Will report back in due course (I'm a little sceptical that it will make much odds tho' as there are no comments on the launchpad that originally made the patch and you'd expect that they would have noticed this regression if it indeed caused it. But will happily try all the same :)

Comment 5 Colin Guthrie 2008-02-20 11:51:06 UTC

Mandriva SVN is not back yet so tested the old fashioned way. Reverting that commit does indeed fix this issue for me. Call me unscepticalised ;)

Want me to revert it in SVN?

Comment 6 Peter Magdina 2008-02-20 11:57:18 UTC

Yes please, I would appreciate it. I can live with bug #146300, but I cannot live with this bug.

And as I read description of bug #146300, it was applied in KDE4 too. So probably there is the same issue. (Just remark.)

Comment 7 Colin Guthrie 2008-02-20 12:02:43 UTC

SVN commit 777286 by cguthrie:

Revert r772352 as it causes an error when pasting multi-line text blocks, leaving the caret at the end of the first line of the pasted block.

Comment 10 atlantis 2008-03-08 18:36:20 UTC

I have the latest binaries for openSuSE 10.3 and the bug is still there. There has been an update to kate for openSuSE which did not resolve that bug. Am I missing something?

Comment 11 Colin Guthrie 2008-03-09 18:41:22 UTC

This is the KDE bugtracker. Your question is OpenSuSE specific and you should use the SuSE mailing lists or bugtrackers for this kind of enquiry.
