Example md file for issue with bold italc and composed letters
*** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 461547 *** There seem to be a couple of bug reports for composed letters (e.g. German umlauts, or French composed letters). Since all the bug reports have been closed, I tried to test the fix. - build ghostwriter from source (as of 2023.04.20). - download and open the example file, attached to this bug Result: The issue seems not to be fixed - at least in my build. :-) (maybe the issue is caused by one of the dependencies, outside ghostwriter - but I didn't find a hint on what is responsible for the issue, in the closed reports) Should/ could the bug-report be reopened? For a very quick test, I paste a part of the example file, here: Issues when highlighting (bold/ italic) text that contains Umlauts or accents: *Überschrift* **Überschrift** <- first italic, second bold *ä* *ö* *ü* *ß* *á* *â* *à* <- all italic **ä** **ö** **ü** **ß** **á** **â** **à** <- all bold **aä** **aäa** **dö** should_be_normal **üadfafasd** <- mix bold and normal text **äa** **aäa** **äa** **öfö** **üadfafasd** <- all bold? **aäa** **äa** **aäa** **öfö** **üadfafasd** <- all bold, including the markup? **Whateverö** normal text **final word** <- the first word in the line should be bold **Whateverö** normal text **öfinal word** <- bold normal bold This bug is marked as duplicate. I guess this is the reason I cannot reopen, here. I will copy/paste my last comment and reopen the duplicate. |
Created attachment 153554 [details] screenshot issue bold and italic with composed letters SUMMARY When using composed letters, depending on the position of the composed letter in a bold or italic text, the markdown shows/ does not show or spans between two bold/ italic words. STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Write words that contain composed letters, mark the word as bod or italic 2. Place composed letters at the start, in the middle or at the end of the words OBSERVED RESULT Word that contain composed letters are not always showing/ displaying the expected markdown. It seems to make a difference where the composed letter is located within a word. Composed letters at the start or at the end of a word seems to lead to issues, displaying the markdown. If the composed letter is at the end of a word, the "*" directly following the composed letter, seems to be ignored. It seems like the code "recognizing" the start and end of Markdown and the code which renders the markdown are treating composed letters differently. EXPECTED RESULT Markdown should consistently be recognized and rendered. SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS Linux/KDE Plasma: Linux Mint 21 CE Ghostwriter: 2.2 installed via flatpak Qt Version: 5.15.3
