SUMMARY STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. start kate 2. type anything 3. see gibberish OBSERVED RESULT garbage - keystrokes dont match the keyboard. I see no method to switch a keyboard layout or anything similar. Installed fresh on Ubuntu linux. Never worked. UTF-8 is selected everywhere for language/format. EXPECTED RESULT normal text cant backspace/delete - anything. mouse works, thats all. keyboard useless. SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS Windows: macOS: Linux/KDE Plasma: (available in About System) KDE Plasma Version: KDE Frameworks Version: Qt Version: ADDITIONAL INFORMATION Thanks for your assistance, i would really like to have a decent programming editor to use on Linux!!
I am sorry that this happens for you. But I can't reproduce this. Does input doesn't work in Kate only or other Qt applications, too (e.g. Konsole, Dolphin, ...)?
Created attachment 125470 [details] attachment-9180-0.html Hi - thanks for reaching out. This is very frustrating... I don't have this issue with any other apps on Ubuntu. I had a similar issue with Microsoft's VS-Code, but fixed it by changing its keyboard setting from "Code" to "keyCode". I know this is entirely unrelated, however I mention only to point out that I was looking all over in Kate for a similar setting, unsuccessfully. It occurred to me that perhaps its trying to use a German/DE keyboard mapping or something, but even [BackSpace] doesn't work....and I could generate any German-Code PAge characters or anything...the key mapping doesn't follow any logical order. Is there perhaps a US/English build/version somewhere that is know to work? Perhaps a prior version that is know to be stable/working for US keyboards? Lastly, sorry but I don't know what "Qt" is..... To my knowledge I don't have any other Qt apps....I'm able to use Gedit with no issues, Chrome, Firefox, VS-Code, Terminal and File Manager. I'm using the Bitnami LAMP stack on an AWS virtual machine/instance. I'm using the XFCE GUI running over RDP/port 3389. The only other app I have not been able to get working is the Atom editor, it won't even start due to display issues. Kate starts OK but has the aforementioned key/mapping issues. regards, Steve On Mon, Jan 27, 2020 at 2:18 PM Christoph Cullmann <bugzilla_noreply@kde.org> wrote: > https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=416812 > > Christoph Cullmann <cullmann@kde.org> changed: > > What |Removed |Added > > ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- > CC| |cullmann@kde.org > > --- Comment #1 from Christoph Cullmann <cullmann@kde.org> --- > I am sorry that this happens for you. > But I can't reproduce this. > Does input doesn't work in Kate only or other Qt applications, too (e.g. > Konsole, Dolphin, ...)? > > -- > You are receiving this mail because: > You reported the bug.

The KDE software that is shipped with Ubuntu 16.04 is no longer maintained by KDE developers. Either request support at the bug tracker of your distribution, or update to a distribution which has recent software versions.
Created attachment 125522 [details] attachment-10958-0.html can I download and install this independent of their distribution?
