Bug 337001 – kde-base/kompare-{4.7.4,4.8.0}: setting tabwidth to anything < 4 shows only the first level of indentation

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Erik 2010-09-12 20:55:11 UTC]

When the tabwidth is set to any value < 4, lines with > 1 level of indentation
are shown with only 1 level of indentation. Therefore only lines with 0 or 1
level of indentation are shown correctly. It seems to work with tab widths >=
4.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Start Konsole.
2. Create a directory and cd into it.
3. Create the empty file empty.cc
4. Create the file prov.cc with some content like this:
float calculate_something(float const a, float const b, float const c) {
   return
      calculate_something(1.7, calculate_something(8.9, 19.51, 33.0), a) +
      calculate_something(c, 18.8, calculate_something(7.5, b, a));
}
5. Execute "diff -u empty.cc prov.cc|kompare -".
6. Open the settings dialog and change the tab width to 3.
7. Press Ok.
Actual Results:  
float calculate_something(float const a, float const b, float const c) {
   return
   calculate_something(1.7, calculate_something(8.9, 19.51, 33.0), a) +
   calculate_something(c, 18.8, calculate_something(7.5, b, a));
}

Expected Results:  
float calculate_something(float const a, float const b, float const c) {
   return
      calculate_something(1.7, calculate_something(8.9, 19.51, 33.0), a) +
      calculate_something(c, 18.8, calculate_something(7.5, b, a));
}

This problem is new in KDE4.

How about kde-4.5.4?

[Comment 2 Erik 2011-01-09 14:15:19 UTC]

Still happens in KDE 4.5.4.

[Comment 3 Andreas K. Hüttel 2011-04-08 19:06:09 UTC]

How about kde-4.6.2?

[Comment 4 Andreas K. Hüttel 2011-10-17 19:56:42 UTC]

No news on the upstream bug- could you please recheck if this still occurs with 4.7.2?

[Comment 5 Johannes Huber (RETIRED) 2011-11-16 00:07:41 UTC]

Tested it with 4.7.3, still valid.

[Comment 6 Johannes Huber (RETIRED) 2012-03-07 08:04:31 UTC]

KDE SC 4.8.1 in portage.
