Version: 1.6.1 (using KDE 3.2.1, (testing/unstable)) Compiler: gcc version 3.3.3 (Debian) OS: Linux (ppc) release 2.6.4 My korean wife is using kmail and has the following problem while typing a new mail. As soon as she switches to the koran input method a black square appears. After having typed a korean syllable (2-4 strokes) it will being displayed correctly as soon as she begins the second syllable. We are using ami as our input method. kate (as an example of another KDE package) does work correctly. Here is the output of dpkg -l kate kmail ami of our Debian/GNU/Linux-system. ii kate 3.2.1-1 KDE Advanced Text Editor ii kmail 3.2.1-1 KDE Email client ii ami 1.2.3-1 An X input method server for Korean text input The relevant parts of our language environment are: XMODIFIERS=@im=Ami LANGUAGE=ko_KR.eucKR LANG=ko_KR.eucKR LC_CTYPE=ko_KR.eucKR If you want to reproduce it. Here the sequence: <excute the 4 settings above> ami & kmail & open new mail go to the edit window to compose the content <Shift>-<Space> to switch to korean input Type <e> <k> <e> <k> You will see the black square, which will advance to the right as soon as you will have type the fourth character, which is the first place where ami is able to detect that you have finished the first syllable. If you want I can send you screenshots of the problem. Thanks a lot for your work to improve kmail.

Created attachment 5487 [details] kate handles korean input nicely
Comment on attachment 5487 [details] kate handles korean input nicely I think I chased it down to a bug in the QTextStream class as the QT-Example/textedit shows the same behaviour. Also kedit which is also based on QTextStream and not KTextEdit as kate has also this bug.
Created attachment 5556 [details] Forwarded to trolltech I reported the bug to trolltech, as I was able to reproduce it using qt/examples/textedit. I got an answer in less than 24 hours that they were able to reproduce the bug and that they will investigate. It is Issue N45715 in their bugs database.
*** Bug 60609 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***
I suppose this is fixed in Qt by now - can anyone confirm that?
