Bug#347369: kmail shows strange characters overlayed over email text



Package: kmail
Version: 4:3.4.3-1
Severity: minor


Sorry if that's just a feature I don't understand.

If I click into the body of an email (to set the focus) and 
press repeatedly STRG, I see strange characters highlighted
(and on further STRG-presses these disappear and appear 
again). Please see attached screen shot.

These characters vary with the email text; sometimes there 
are none, sometimes many.

I cannot figure out why some characters are painted this way.

If I try to mark some text below these highlightnings, they go to the background - you can see that in the screen shot, too.


Thank you.
