Bug#570409: kate: Sometime bad placement of cursor if writing at end of line with static word wrap
Package: kate
Version: 4:4.3.4-1
Severity: normal
With static word wrap activated, if you try to write at the beginning of a word
which is at end of line, when the word is finally moved to the next line, the
cursor is moved at the end of the word. This is wrong because there is no
reason that the edition that was performed at the beginning of the word is
finished. Bug could be related to bug #481291
Here is how you can reproduce the bug:
- activate static word wrap at 80 columns
- Write the following line : "thing thing thing thing thing thing thing thing thing thing thing thing thing thing"
(the last "thing" should be moved on the next line because of insufficient
space)
- Move the cursor at the beginning of the last "thing" of the first line, after
the last space
- Try to add a "thing " by just writing it
- You should now have : "thinthingg thing" on the second line, with the cursor
between the two space after "thinthingg"
What is expected is at least:
thing thing thing thing thing thing thing thing thing thing thing thing
thing thing thing
with the cursor after the first space on the second line.
Or better:
thing thing thing thing thing thing thing thing thing thing thing thing thing
thing thing
with cursor at the beginning of the second line. But this require to test,
after hitting the space, that the new word can fit on the previous line
(since when the word was written it was considering as the beginning of
the next word since there wasn't any space yet and was too long to fit
on the first line whatever the size of the new word is small enough).
Hope I'm clear enough
