Description sebastian rabus 2004-01-28 16:51:12 UTC
Version:           1.6 (using KDE KDE 3.1.4)
Installed from:    Gentoo Packages
OS:          Linux

The bug appears, when you move a part of a text by drag and drop. The problem is, that the part you want to move is cut first and then pasted. so after cutting, the text (coming next) fills the place. That is why the text will be pasted to the wrong place.

E.g.: write the following in the editor
aabbccddeeffgghh
If you want to move "bbcc" between the e's by marking "bbcc" with the mouse, pressing (and holding) the left button, moving the cursour between the e's and releasing the left button, it results is:
aaddeeffgbbccghh
Although it should result in:
aaddebbcceffgghh

This problem does not appear, if you move a word from right to left ( in the same line).
It appears, if you move a word from left to right (in the same line). Additionally it does not have to be in the same line, but there should not be a linebreak (return) between the two places.

Can't reproduce on KDE 3.2 (perhaps it is an KDE 3.1.x bug?). Anyway it is a Kate, issue so I'm handing it over to the Kate team.

best,
Jeroen
