Version: (using KDE 4.3.1) OS: Linux Installed from: SuSE RPMs Sorry for marking it as a crash, but I think it's very serious. Maybe it's not even KDE's fault but some SUSE patch instead. Since I installed openSUSE 11.2 MI8, kwrite cannot handle lines more than 205 characters. As soon as I type the 206th character, I can see only the first few characters and the last few characters of the line, moreover, the end of the line is displayed a few lines lower.
sounds like a display bug, likely to be in X11, the graphics driver or Qt, but not in Kate.

I don't know if 205 chars is the limit. In my case I have no problems with lines that are 205 chars long. I set up an example webpage that demonstrates the bug. It is a PHP script that outputs 5000 HTML input-checkboxes next to each other in ONE line. Try to open it with kate, it will take minutes: http://www.pietzowski.de/longline.php Now I have a different example where a \n is put right after each input-tag. It's the same HTML content but kate has opened this file in milliseconds: http://www.pietzowski.de/longline.php?newline Maybe its the beautifying?
