Description Andreas K. Huettel 2009-06-24 17:13:49 UTC

Version:           2.1 beta 1 (using KDE 4.2.4)
Compiler:          gcc (Gentoo 4.3.2-r3 p1.6, pie-10.1.5) 4.3.2, x86_64 
OS:                Linux
Installed from:    Gentoo Packages

See the two attached screenshots for "before" and "after": On screenshot 1, the cursor is between "anderen Seite" and "der Linse". I start typing the letters abcdefghijklmn... without any other interaction. 

First the word "Linse" is correctly pushed into the next column.

As soon as the word "der" is pushed into the next column, the cursor jumps behind this word, and subsequent letters are inserted behind it.

Reproducibility: easily, whenever the cursor is before the second last word in a line...

Comment 3 Andreas K. Huettel 2009-06-24 17:19:27 UTC

err... of course I meant "next line" instead of "next column"... sorry, too tired... ~:]

Comment 4 Thomas Braun 2009-06-24 18:46:28 UTC

Do you have some word wrapping turned on?
It looks like.

Comment 5 Andreas K. Huettel 2009-06-24 19:00:16 UTC

Yes, correct. 

Configure -> Editing -> General: 
 x Enable static word wrap
 x Show static word wrap marker ...
 Wrap words at 90 chars

Configure -> Appearance:
 x Dynamic word wrap
 Dynamic word wrap indicators "Follow Line Numbers" (no idea what that does)
 Align dynamically wrapped lines to indent...  "80% of View Width" (dito)

Well then it may take some time to get this fixed.
This is a katepart, the editor behind kile, bug and unfortunately we got lots of bugs concerning word wrapping.

Understood. I can confirm this. The same bug also shows up in kwrite (4.2.4) if I apply the same word wrap settings there. 

Is there anyone we should cc, or are they already completely swamped with similar reports?

Best, Andreas

Comment 8 Andreas K. Huettel 2009-06-24 19:24:43 UTC

I dont fully understand the other bug report yet, but this may be a duplicate of bug #168534 - what do you think?

Comment 9 Thomas Braun 2009-06-24 21:35:28 UTC

I'm also not sure if it is a duplicate of #168534.

Reassigning to katepart is in any case appropriate.

Summary of the bug:
As soon as the word "der" is pushed into the next line, the cursor jumps
behind this word, and subsequent letters are inserted behind it.

Reproducibility: easily, whenever the cursor is before the second last word in
a line...
