Description Marc Boucher 2003-01-02 16:31:01 UTC

Version:            (using KDE KDE 3.0.99)
Installed from:    Mandrake RPMs
Compiler:          gcc version 3.2 (Mandrake Linux 9.1 3.2-4mdk) 
OS:          Linux

by making the pty executable, I use kwrited in conjunction with "biff" and nmh's "rcvtty -biff" so that a new line appears for each incoming mail message.
this works well for a certain time but after a while new lines are inserted in the middle of previous ones rather than appended at the end of the history as one would expect.

Mandrake? Sounds like bug 53418.

No answer. See http://qa.mandrakesoft.com/show_bug.cgi?id=3747

Interesting enough to see that this bug was reproducable until some commits ago :D
The bug is probably a QTextEdit bug. kwrited used to use a QTextEdit to show new messages, using QTextEdit::insertPlainText() and its older equivalents, which in fact insert the text at the current text cursor position. The text cursor was not visible, as the QTextEdit was in readonly mode, but if the user clicked somewhere, the position was updated internally and new messages were inserted at that place.

This is fixed now, kwrited no longer uses a QTextEdit. See http://websvn.kde.org/?view=rev&revision=874385
