Bug ID: 388239
Summary: kate long line wrapping only works after restart
Product: kate
Version: unspecified
Platform: Other
OS: Linux
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: application
Assignee: [email protected]
Reporter: [email protected]
Target Milestone: ---
Created attachment 109524
--> https://bugs.kde.org/attachment.cgi?id=109524&action=edit
allows to reproduce (open in another editor and paste into kate)
When creating extremely long lines in `kate` (most likely through pasting), the
view jumps to the end of the line when scrolling down and to the beginning when
scrolling up which makes it impossible to read the middle. This issues is
avoided after a restart when `kate` provides a view with line breaks (and an
option to save it).
The scrolling shouldn't be different for long lines because not only the
skipping of the middle part is an issue, but the jumping of the scroll interval
as well.
A possible use case is pasting web server integration test logs containing
base64-encoded screenshot which are ready to run on a headless CI server. A few
100 KB in one base64-encoded line can easily have a few million characters.
Even it the use case is rare, `kate` should be capable of handling it.
