Bug ID: 446189
Summary: Arrow keys sometimes wrongly extend selection
Product: frameworks-ktexteditor
Version: 5.88.0
Platform: Other
OS: Other
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: general
Assignee: kwrite-bugs-n...@kde.org
Reporter: kishor...@gmail.com
Target Milestone: ---
SUMMARY
When a block of text is already selected, pressing the arrow keys sometimes
unexpectedly extends the selection. This may cause the user to unintentionally
overwrite or delete text.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Go to System Settings > Keyboard > Advanced (tab) > Compatibility Options
and enable 'both Shift together enable caps lock'. Click 'Apply'.
2. Find a text file that contains long lines, and open it in Kate (we need a
line long enough that it is displayed as, say, four lines)
3. Enable view > word wrap > dynamic word wrap
4. Put cursor in the middle of the first 'display line' of a very long line
that is wrapped into at least four 'display lines'.
5. Shift+down arrow
6. Down arrow
7. Down arrow
OBSERVED RESULTS
After step 5, a block of text is selected.
In step 6, the cursor behaves as if shift is still being pressed (i.e. it still
extends the selection even though the user is not pressing shift).
After step 7, the selection is discarded.
EXPECTED RESULTS
With step 5, shift+arrow selects a block of text.
The selection should be discarded at step 6 itself.
