Fixed with 5.59, unfortunately a regression that slipped in. Sorry. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 407852 *** Thanks... if it's fixed, I'm going to go pester downstream (Fedora), because it's fairly irritating :-). |
SUMMARY Katepart suppresses closing brackets waaaaay too eagerly. STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Type some text, e.g. 'return foo()' 2. Place the caret before the ')', i.e. 'return foo(|)' ('|' is the caret) 3. Type ')' OBSERVED RESULT Caret advances but no text is inserted. EXPECTED RESULT Resulting text is 'return foo()|)' ('|' is the caret). SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS Katepart: 5.58.0 KDE Frameworks Version: 5.58.0 Qt Version: 5.12.1 ADDITIONAL INFORMATION Suppressing matching brackets (curly braces, square brackets, parentheses, etc.) makes sense *iff* the bracket was "just" automatically inserted. However, that suppression should stop as soon as the user adds a newline or moves the caret (other than by typing). The current behavior makes it really annoying to e.g. change 'return foo()' to 'return bar(foo())'. Moreover, this happens with "enable automatic brackets" turned *off*.
