Description Ronka 2012-04-24 13:59:02 UTC

Kdevelop 4.4.5
after some time of writing/deleting/editing code,  kdevelop starts to insert characters in reverse order. 
eg: instead of asdfg it inserts gfdsa
According to my experience, this happens if I select characters in reverse order and then delete them 
(meaning I move cursor to the end of the sentence, press CTRL+Left Arrow and then move to the begging and then press Delete key). If I repeat this process too often, kdevelop simply inserts characters in reversed fashion as mentioned above. 
Restart of the file is necessary (File Close/File Open) - this is most inconvenient. 
Sometimes a lot of "Ctrl+Z" repeated helps (back/back/back)...

Reproducible: Sometimes

Steps to Reproduce:
1. write code in main window
2. move cursor to the end of the sentence, press CTRL+Left Arrow and then move to left a few words and then press Delete key
3. repeat step1/step2 - this problem becomes apparent after longer time (in tens of minutes)
Actual Results:  
new characters are inserted in reverse fashion:
instead of "asdfg" it inserts "gfdsa" and it does not fix till restart of the window

Expected Results:  
print "asdfg"  on screen

- I have enabled nearly all plugins shipped with Kdevelop 4.4.5 debian version
- I work with C files, but I do not upload them as a project, but individual files
- If I open more tabs at once, this bug only occurs in one of them and does not reproduce to other

Can't reproduce that, sorry.
Would need a way to trigger this in some unit test or at least without 10 minutes typing ;) (and never got this issue ever here)
