Open kate/kwrite Select input method as malayalam. 1. Type vd]. it shows ന്. 2. Zwnj not working. JdJ\bz 3. Type kdk. then press backspace. complete letter get removed. not just one k. Debian version: Linux 4.9.0-5-amd64 #1 SMP Debian 4.9.65-3+deb9u2 (2018-01-04) x86_64 GNU/Linux
I can confirm this issue. Observed only Kate/Kwrite. Krunner and other input fields works fine. Kate version 17.04.3 This is a serious regression and prevents Malayalam usage in these editors.
@Eike: Could you comment on this? You certainly have more know-how here than us.
I tried on Leafpad on same machine. These issues are not there in Leafpad.
Git commit 0bf5522434044c61d266fc47bc127fef23d41e7b by Christoph Cullmann, on behalf of Ahmad Samir. Committed on 27/08/2019 at 17:03. Pushed by cullmann into branch 'master'. Mimic QInputControl::isAcceptableInput() when filtering typed characters Summary: Move all input characters filtering out of typeChars() to KateViewInternal and filter the input before sending it to typeChars(). This increases the scope of unicode characters that users can type in ktexteditor. For more info see: QChar documentation http://www.unicode.org/Public/UNIDATA/UnicodeData.txt This should fix: - bug 396764 (typing soft-hyphens) - bug 366424 (typing "private use" unicode characters) - Hopefully bug 389796 (typing formatting characters such as ZWNJ) Related: bug 396764, bug 366424 Test Plan: Test typing a soft-hyphen char (here I used Compose key + minus + minus + space) For the two other bugs, ask the users to test...
