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. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
