Description Peter Hinow 2009-10-19 21:11:29 UTC
Version:           2.0.81 (using 4.2.2 (KDE 4.2.2), Kubuntu packages)
Compiler:          cc
OS:                Linux (i686) release 2.6.28-15-generic

Every so often, when typing in a text, the cursor jumps to a position a few characters or a word later on. As I don't see this at first, I continue typing until I notice that existing text has become mixed up by the new letters. Has this been observed before and what can be done?

Please update to Kile 2.1 beta 3 and check whether the problem still occurs. Thanks.
Comment 2 Peter Hinow 2009-12-03 22:14:13 UTC
Dear Michel,
thank you for your message. I'm a bit confused about the installation process. In Ubuntu 9.04 I used "sudo apt-get install kile" which installed 2.0.81. The latest stable version is 2.0.3 and now you recommend 2.1 beta. The way I see it there are only source codes available at sourceforge. I'm not expert enough to do an installation at this level. Will there be a new version at the Ubuntu repositories soon? How are these projects connected?
Again, thank you and best regards,
            Peter

Could this be linked with a problem with static word wrap? I reported the bug in launchpad [1] but they sent me here.

Thank you.

I am using kile 2.1 beta3 (kile 2.0.84) on Ubuntu 9.10 and I have the same problem.
Comment 5 Michel Ludwig 2010-01-03 11:42:43 UTC
So, does the problem only occur when a word is moved onto the next line (i.e. the static word wrap feature is activated)?
Comment 6 Peter Hinow 2010-01-03 11:46:57 UTC
yes, that's when it happens most often.
Peter
