Bug ID: 332344
Summary: KMail Composing with apostrophes cursor jumps all over
Classification: Unclassified
Product: kmail2
Version: 4.12.3
Platform: Archlinux Packages
OS: Linux
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: composer
Assignee: kdepim-bugs@kde.org
Reporter: craig.finne...@gmail.com
When composing emails with KMail 4.12.3 (this goes back at least 6 months)
having very frustrating issues with the current cursor position going every
which way when an apostrophe is involved in the substance of it being 's or 're
etc. ' on its own does not seem to have any issues.
When writing as normal and I type ANY word that ends with 's or 're (may be
others) the cursor skips down to the next line, I really cannot make any sense
of what's happening but it is extremely frustrating having to constantly move
my cursor. My best guess would be something related to auto-correct.
Additionally, it does not just happen in the case of above, if I go back in my
email to add something (so there are words/text to either side of the cursor)
and start typing and again, type anything that ends with 's or 're (etc) the
cursor will start skipping over words and butchering whatever sentence I was
attempting to write haha.
Here is an example of the first item described above, just typing a new email
and typing a word that ends with 's and continue to type so you see what
happens:
Hi,
This is a test of my email’s
capability/bug.
The cursor jumped to the next line after typing email's ('s being the part that
causes the jump).
The second issue above can be demonstrated with the below, original sentence:
"Also when going back in sentence (will add apos. To ‘sentences’ ) and adding a
apos. And continuing to type it jumps words ahead of the cursor causing
issues."
Then I go back and ADD 's to sentence then CONTINUE TO TYPE (from that
position) the following: "and i'll keep adding stuff here" see the end result
below, also note that i'll does not seem to experience this issue for example
in i'll as above; it seems "and I'll" is fine but then after hitting space at
that point it skips a word ahead:
"Also when going back in sentence’s and i’ll(will keep adding stuff here add
apos. To ‘sentences’ ) and adding a apos. And continuing to type it jumps words
ahead of the cursor causing issues."
Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Start New Message (or reply)
2. Type something similar to my first example above (Hi,<enter-tab>This is a
test of my email's capability/bug.)
3. Cursor skips to new line after email's
Also see second example where happens when typing in middle of text/reply/email
where it skips words, can see steps to reproduce above.
Actual Results:
Hi, This is a test of my email's
capability/bug.
(and second example)
Expected Results:
Hi, This is a test of my email's capability/bug.
(and second example)
I have no idea what is causing this but is driving me and others within my
company quite literally up the wall unless we consciously avoid all punctuation
at least with apostrophes which is a pain its in own. This happens every single
time when the word ends in 's and I believe 're 't /etc however it is also
worth noting for whatever reason after experiencing it, for example doing the
above, then going back and trying again it seems to be fine, but whenever I
reply/new email and type as nomal this happens a LOT but again not always for
whatever reason? Hopefully you guys have some idea to the cause so I can
disable it, here are my settings that may be related (anything else let me
know):
Rich text/html emails always (not sure of plain-text),
Not using templates/custom templates
ENABLE AUTOCORRECTION (yes)
AutoCorrection is AMERICAN ENGLISH
Convert first letter of a sentence... YES
Convert two uppercase characters to one... YES
Suppress double spaces YES
Capitalize name of days YES
Autoformat URLs... YES
Custom Quotes: Replace double quotes/replace single quotes YES
Add non-breaking space before specific punctuation marks in French text
YES (this sounds like could be related moreso than others but not in
french????)
Advanced Autocorrection YES (but do not have any at this time)
Exceptions NO - None
Hopefully you guys have some ideas, thanks!
