Not sure if this is the same issue as what I am seeing, but looks like in source code files, the snippet completion is quite context sensitive. If there's one badly indented line, and the completion is started at the beginning of the line, looks like the completion is prefixed with extra characters from the snippet. Extra character(s) looking like being from the what you define in the "namespace" field of the snippet repository. And might be related to bug 478303. Have you checked if the completion is correct when you select it from the completions side pane, instead of using the keyboard completion?

I've just tested this again and can't reproduce the issue. I'm now on Fedora 39, Kate Version 23.08.5. Perhaps sometime between when I raised this in 2022 and now it's been fixed? Ok to close this from my perspective. |
SUMMARY When I create a snippet and then try to use it mid-sentence, or not at the beginning of a line, the first few characters of the snippet are removed. STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Create a snippet (in my example: Red{nbsp}Hat Advanced Cluster Management for Kubernetes (RHACM) ) 2. Insert the snippet NOT at the beginning of a line, using the shortcut I have set up. 3. OBSERVED RESULT 1. If inserted at the beginning of a line: Red{nbsp}Hat Advanced Cluster Management for Kubernetes (RHACM) 2. If inserted NOT at the beginning of a line: aed{nbsp}Hat Advanced Cluster Management for Kubernetes (RHACM) I believe the "a" in column one is left over from the domain shortcut (ad), which I use for AsciiDoc files. 3. If inserted mid-sentence: sp}Hat Advanced Cluster Management for Kubernetes (RHACM) EXPECTED RESULT The full snippet should be inserted regardless of cursor position. SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS Some of the following info might not be available because I run Kate and Konsole on Gnome Classic. qt-4.8.7-61.fc34.x86_64 if that helps.
