Version: (using KDE 4.2.1) OS: Linux Installed from: SuSE RPMs When in an text-box/editbox text is written and selected, then if the window with that text-box element with selected text pops up/is maximized/focused etc. then the selection is removed. This is very very annoying and happens in every kde4 application for me. I have KDE 4.2.1 "Release 109" for openSUSE 11.1 installed from the packages. How to reproduce it: in kAddressbook, double-click on an already existing entry/contact to edit the contact details, the edit-box/text-box where you can change the contact's name gets deleted upon popup of the window. You have to rewrite the name... OR: open dolphin, on the address bar select the address or any text in the address bar, minimize that dolphin window and then select it/bring it to foreground again. You will find the selection deleted. OR: Press F2 on a file to rename it, the name of the file (e.g. "file_name" of "file_name.xyz") gets deleted and you can only see the file extension with dot :-( This is very annoying.
Really strange :( I can't reproduce here (4.3trunk) I will try to fetch more opinions on this. Thanks
I can confirm this bug! Maybe it is a openSuSE problem or even a openSuSE/Qt4 problem. I see the problem in all KDE4 applications but also in QtOctave, but not in gimp. Running openSuSE 11.1 KDE 4.2.2 Release 111 AMD x86_64 It has been in all KDE4 versions (4.0.?, 4.1.?, 4.2.1 and now 4.2.2) I have tested, all from openSuSE
If it's happening on QtOctave, it would be a Qt bug. Can you compare your own hardware ? It's strange that you are the only one I ever heard about this issue. (and if it's that old to be since KDE4). May be it's something related to your hardware combination (+ using OpenSUSE) Thanks
Just deleted scim and skim and the problem disapeared. Salim, are you using skim/scim?
(In reply to comment #4) > Just deleted scim and skim and the problem disapeared. > Salim, are you using skim/scim? Yes, I'm using scim. This could be a reason for the bug. But I really do need scim and can't uninstall it. I think scim is a great and important part of Linux. I hope this bug gets solved soon. (will this bug be marked as confirmed now?)
SCIM is not part of KDE, but SKIM it is. Also there is a Qt-only interface to SCIM (afaik) Currently a replacement for SKIM is being created (as a Plasma widget) for a future KDE release. @Salim: do you also experience this problem on Qt-only apps ? If you do, we may need to report this upstream on Trolltech's bugtracker. Thanks
This issue has been solved by phuang for the fedora project. https://admin.fedoraproject.org/updates/scim-bridge-0.4.15-8.fc9 I'll send a bug-report to opensuse and requist them to add the patch. I the meanwhile I've build a new rpm for opensuse 11.1 (src and x86_64). Contact be by e-mail if you want it.
This repository http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/home:/hujq/openSUSE_11.1/ is said to hold a fixed rpm. The bug was already submitted at opensuse Bug #463177
@Torben Hansen: thanks for the information Marking as UPSTREAM
It works now, and it's great! Thank you!
