Description Raúl 2009-02-09 17:49:58 UTC

Version:           1.10.4 (using 4.1.4 (KDE 4.1.4), Debian backport packages)
Compiler:          cc
OS:                Linux (x86_64) release 2.6.26-1-amd64

Hello:

On kmail editor ctrl-del doesn't work as expected. Take this example:

First second |third four.
Cursor's on |.
If you press ctrl-backspace you'll end up like this:
First |third four.
This is right. But if you press instead ctrl-del, you'll have:
First second | four.
Where you would expect:
First second |four.
Mind the remaining blank space.

Regards,

Confirmed in kmail from svn trunk r925817

Please note that it currently fails for "| foo bar" completely: it does not delete anything in that case, but should (probably) result in "|foo bar" (removing any whitespace up to the next word).

This bug is not restricted to Kmail. It is probably associated with the text editing widget used by Kmail and even this "Additional Comments" box I am typing this into in Konqueror right now.

The bug is a bit annoying, since you can't conveniently delete multiple words by repeatedly pressing Ctrl-DEL.

This is a Qt problem. Nothing kmail alone should fix/workaround.
I reported it to the Trolls.

Comment 6 Martin Koller 2009-08-24 20:17:02 UTC

It seems my test was incorrect. The original problem can not be reproduced with Qt-4.5 (KDE 4.3) any longer.
