SUMMARY KMail’s message viewer detects quote markers > and |, but simplifies all following whitespace to a single space, so ASCII drawings are messed up when they contain > or |. So, KMail simplifies some whitespace in quotes. Is that neccessary? It doesn’t simplify whitespace outside quotes. STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Create a message like: > ________________ > / ____________ \ > Rope / / \ \ > / / \ \ > / / __ \ \ > | \ Wheel / | > a | \ / | a > A \____________/ V 2. Open in message viewer. OBSERVED RESULT Whitespace after quote markers simplified: > ________________ > / ____________ \ > Rope / / \ \ > / / \ \ > / / __ \ \ > | \ Wheel / | > a | \ / | a > A \____________/ V > | EXPECTED RESULT Whitespace within quote preserved SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS Operating System: KDE neon 5.17 KDE Plasma Version: 5.17.2 KDE Frameworks Version: 5.63.0 Qt Version: 5.13.1 ADDITIONAL INFORMATION Detecting quote markers after some whitespace was already topic in Bug 403976.
BONUS When replying to such a message, whitespace after the quote markers is preserved, but additional lines with the same indentation level (?) are inserted. > > ________________ > > > > / ____________ \ > > > > Rope / / \ \ > > > > / / \ \ > > > > / / __ \ \ > > > > | \ Wheel / | > > > > a | \ / | a > > > > A \____________/ V
Hi, it's how works all browser. It compress all space I will to look at how to workaround it
Created attachment 131081 [details] Text Messed Up In Message Viewer There used to be an option to display messages without HTML trying to be helpful. I wonder if that option could be restored. It would also fix the attached problem. Actual text behind attached screen shot: > > So it is fixed ? Is not the first time that we need [1] , specially when rawhide bump the number (f33 -> f34), I guess , is one thing that maybe fedora- review should take care ... or mock itself :) [1] mock -r fedora-rawhide-x86_64 --scrub all > > --
This bug also mess up indentation when you review code.
(In reply to Laurent Montel from comment #2) > it's how works all browser. It compress all space Can we keep browser away from text E-mail? There never has been a need to use a browser on text. That would fix this bug.
