(*** This bug was imported into bugs.kde.org ***) Package: kmail Version: 1.3.1 (using KDE 2.2.1 ) Severity: normal Installed from: SuSE Compiler: gcc version 2.95.3 20010315 (SuSE) OS: Linux (i686) release 2.4.10 OS/Compiler notes: If you type a tab at the beginning of the line the cursor stays at the beginning of the line. If you type some characters now they are placed where you would expect it ( after the tab) but the cursor moves from the left char by char to the right as if you typed in the text without the tabs. In fact the cursor is not positioned where the characters are inserted. Here's an example: Typed text as it appears in the editor: Text after the tab. Cursor position after the text: ^ Which is exactly the same as if you typed this without the tab: Text after the tab. That's really strange since it's nearly impossible to make changes to those lines since you don't know where the cursor is really positioned.

You are right it disappears when I start kmail from the console after typing export QT_XFT=false. Is it a know bug which already has been fixed in cvs of kde or qt? Strange is the fact that I only saw this within the kmail editor. > > Regards > Michael Häckel -- Bye Andreas

I can't tell you that since I can't reproduce in on my system. It seems to depend on the graphics card though. Most likely it is a bug in the X-Server. Font anti aliasing in anyway in general still a bit buggy. Regards Michael Haeckel
