Bug ID: 423253
Summary: Caret gets stuck when moving vertically through
soft-wrapped lines.
Product: kate
Version: 20.04.2
Platform: Archlinux Packages
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: part
Assignee: kwrite-bugs-n...@kde.org
Reporter: opensou...@whoopdedo.org
Target Milestone: ---
SUMMARY
When moving vertically through a wrapped line and the current column is close
to the soft-wrap position, the caret will jump to the first column of the line
below. This can cause the it to skip a line when moving down, or get "stuck"
when moving up.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Type: 123456 1234 123456789 12345 1234 12345
2. Adjust the window width so the text wraps to six lines.
3. Position the caret after the '6' in the third line.
4. Press the up key, up, up again, then down, then down, then down again.
OBSERVED RESULT
(Actual results may be depend on font and screen resolution. This was
reproduced with Hack 9pt at 166dpi.)
The second up keypress moves the caret to the start of line 2 instead of line
1. Moving up again doesn't cause the caret to move. When it moves down it
returns to the original column on line 3. Then jumps over line 4. And the last
down keypress moves it to the end of line 6.
Furthermore, adding an extra space at the end of the line changes which column
the bug occurs on.
EXPECTED RESULT
When the caret begins after the '8' of line three, the same sequence always
result in the caret moving to a different line and the last column less than or
equal to where it started.
