Description Tamás Németh 2009-10-13 20:52:31 UTC

Version:            (using KDE 4.3.1)
OS:                Linux
Installed from:    SuSE RPMs

Sorry for marking it as a crash, but I think it's very serious. Maybe it's not even KDE's fault but some SUSE patch instead.

Since I installed openSUSE 11.2 MI8, kwrite cannot handle lines more than 205 characters. As soon as I type the 206th character, I can see only the first few characters and the last few characters of the line, moreover, the end of the line is displayed a few lines lower.

sounds like a display bug, likely to be in X11, the graphics driver or Qt, but not in Kate.

Yes, you may be right: https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=546628#c2

I don't know if 205 chars is the limit. In my case I have no problems with lines that are 205 chars long.

I set up an example webpage that demonstrates the bug. It is a PHP script that
outputs 5000 HTML input-checkboxes next to each other in ONE line. Try to open
it with kate, it will take minutes:

Now I have a different example where a \n is put right after each input-tag.
It's the same HTML content but kate has opened this file in milliseconds:

http://www.pietzowski.de/longline.php?newline

Maybe its the beautifying?
