Description Denis Prost 2010-07-10 09:19:10 UTC 
Version:           1.13.5 (using KDE 4.4.4) 
OS:                Linux

(this is with kde 4.4.5 which it is not proposed in the kde version list)
when inserting a word on first line of a paragraph, instead of properly rearranging lines, kmail composer generates one line with only one word on it. One has then to rearrange each paragraph line by hand.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1) open a new composer window
2) insert the following text
"Pour te dire en quelques mots ce que je retiens de la journée, Etienne, après 
le tour de table d'évaluation en fin de journée, puis un petit bilan avec 
Florent et Sophie :"
3) on first line of this paragraph, after the word "je", insert "foo"

Actual Results:  
composer générates a second line with only the word "après" on it

Expected Results:  
Should rearrange all paragraph to have lines with proper length.

OS: Linux (i686) release 2.6.33.2-pclos1.bfs
Compiler: gcc

Confirmed
Comment 2 Christophe Marin 2011-05-02 15:54:10 UTC 
the text in the bug report contains a carriage return after "après", looks normal to have this word on a single line.

Counter test:
- in kwrite, paste "Pour te dire en quelques mots ce que je retiens de la journée, Etienne, après le tour de table d'évaluation en fin de journée, puis un petit bilan avec Florent et Sophie :"
- Remove the CR,
- paste into kmail's composer,
- insert foo after 'je'

Result, the second line becomes "après le tour de table d'évaluation en fin de journée, puis un petit bilan"

Hi Christophe,

thanks for taking care of that problem.
Maybe I was not clear explaining it : the problem is not when pasting the text into kmail  (indeed in this case everything works fine) but when typing it in kmail's editor : just try to type that text without inserting yourself carriage return (I did not insert any, this is kmail's editor that should have inserted automatically the one after the word "après", this is probably where the problem is), and then proceed as indicated in my first message and see what happens. 
Unless I missed some option that tells kmail not to insert carriage returns before automatically going to next line, to me, the bug should not be considered as resolved.

Regards,

Denis

Got it I think, and that's what I tested. I took the text in your bug report, pasted it in kwrite to remove the carriage returns (so, the paragraph was on a single line)

pasted it in the KMail composer and added a word on the first line.

See the attached screencast.

Hi Christophe,

I just tested it on KDE 4.6.2 and, indeed, now it works !
Thanks
