Bug ID: 367909
Summary: Pressing Backspace skips Arabic and Hebrew diacritics
Product: kate
Version: 16.04
Platform: Archlinux Packages
OS: Linux
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: part
Assignee: kwrite-bugs-n...@kde.org
Reporter: safa1996alful...@gmail.com
When you have a text that ends with a diacritic
(https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arabic_diacritics,
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hebrew_diacritics), pressing backspace will
ignore it and remove the whole character (what is called cluster).
In normal text edits (QLineEdit, QTextEdit), each diacritic is removed first,
and when there is non left, another backspace press will delete the character.
The reason of this is using "previousCursorPosition" method, as cursor doesn't
move when adding diacritics. And so, the previous position will be the last
character.
Sample text (With diacritic at the end): "ذهبَ"
Sample text (With two diacritics at the end): "حيٌّ"
Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Write/Copy-Paste sample text
2. Press backspace
Actual Results:
The character with it's diacritics are all removed
Expected Results:
َ diacritic is removed in the first sample text, and
ٌ diacritic is removed in the second sample text
