Kwrite worked perfectly for me on KDE 3.5, but on KDE 4.4.5 it presents all sorts of annoying problems. Here's just one:

When I am editing a text document and use the delete to removed some characters or words, sometimes, not always, but often, the cursor jumps up to the line above the line in which I am attempting to delete characters. This often happens when I am holding down the delete key to automatically repeat deleting a series of characters ... and when I realize the problem that has been created, I have to hit CTRL-Z to undo everything I just did and start over.

This seems to be a significant error and annoyance.

Once this problem starts, the only way I have found to make it stop doing that is to exit the document and reopen it and start over. Then the delete key will (sometimes) work correctly for a while before the same problem comes back to bite me again.

I have been unable to reproduce the issue you describe.

Code: Select all

Qt: 4.7.0
KDE Development Platform: 4.5.60 (KDE 4.5.60 (KDE 4.6 >= 20100627))
KWrite: 4.5.60 (KDE 4.5.60 (KDE 4.6 >= 20100627))

I'm using the same versions, but am also unable to reproduce. You might try it under a new user and see if you still get the issue as a new user. There seems to be something funky with your install/setup/settings
