Description thasart 2003-09-30 10:30:22 UTC

Version:           3.0.0a7 (using KDE 3.1.92 (alpha2, CVS >= 20030921), Gentoo)
Compiler:          gcc version 3.2.3 20030422 (Gentoo Linux 1.4 3.2.3-r2, propolice)
OS:          Linux (i686) release 2.4.20-gentoo-r4

starting the source formatter clears the file, but dosn't insert the formatted source. the result is an empty page...

Hmmm.. indeed it does.  
 
The Gideon code hasn't changed, which probably means katepart behaviour changed 
again. I guess we'll have to ask the Kate guys about the future of 
KTextEditor::EditInterface::setText() ...

Comment 2 Jens Dagerbo 2003-10-27 13:21:22 UTC

This is repeatable in CVS HEAD from Oct 24, both from KDevelop and DCOP. 

To reproduce:
1. Open kwrite and kdcop
2. Call EditInterface::setText("bla")

result:
kwrite shows the buffer as "modified" but no text is inserted.

Comment 3 Christoph Cullmann 2003-10-27 22:47:21 UTC

true, introduced bug in katedocument in kde cvs, have fixed the setText method (+ some return values madness of remove/insertText) now
tested with dcop for example, works again, thx for the report
