Bug 15000 – kvim text not rendered correctly under kde3.1

• Status: RESOLVED WONTFIX
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Grant Goodyear (RETIRED) 2003-02-02 15:11:07 UTC]

Cursoring over text changes it, spacing out the letters in a very
strange manner.  Not good for a text editor! 

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. kvim <any file>
2. cursor over text in that file
3.

Actual Results:  
I'll attach a snapshot of what happens when cursoring over
/etc/make.conf

Expected Results:  
It should have just moved the cursor.

Here's the long-awaited snapshot.  Take a look at the top two lines.
That's what I get after cursoring across them.

It looks like a bug to kvim, maybe try to report it with them too

[Comment 4 Caleb Tennis (RETIRED) 2003-06-13 13:39:26 UTC]

Does the problem persist?  Possible upstream issue? 

[Comment 5 Caleb Tennis (RETIRED) 2003-07-22 19:22:07 UTC]

I've seen this problem before in some of the Qt widgets.  I'm wondering if this problem still 
exists for the latest versions of Qt?

Closing this bug, since I don't think there's anything we can do about it.
