Bug ID: 367790
Summary: ZERO WIDTH NON-JOINER and some other (space) chacters
cannot be entered in kate and other KDE5 apps
Product: kde
Version: unspecified
Platform: Ubuntu Packages
URL: http://askubuntu.com/questions/816434
OS: Linux
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: grave
Priority: NOR
Component: general
Assignee: unassigned-b...@kde.org
Reporter: iran...@outlook.com
The ZERO WIDTH NON-JOINER character (U+200C) is very useful in arabic-like
languages. However, if you assin a key to it and type it in a KDE5-base app eg
kate, nothing will be entered. However there is not such problem with gedit and
other non-kde apps.
Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Switch to Arabic keyboard layout in Kububtu 16.04
2. Press shift+space between any Arabic word in `kate`.
3. Press shift+space between any Arabic word in `gedit`.
4. Compare the results.
5. Copy what you type in gedit and paste it in `kate`. There is no problem when
pasting. Just typing ZERO WIDTH NON-JOINER and similar characters is prohibited
in `kate`.
Actual Results:
Nothing is typed when you press a key assigned for typing ZERO WIDTH NON-JOINER
in kate and other KDE5-based apps. There is no such problem in `gedit` and
other gnome apps.
there was not such problem in KDE4 in Ubuntu 14.04.
