Description of problem: In qt (tested it in kwrite), the deletion with DELETE key, is not following the rule of deleting entire composed character with a single key press. It is deleting each of the character in a composed character, one by one. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): qt-4.6.3-8 kdebase-4.4.5-1.fc13.i686 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Open kwrite in mr_IN locale 2. Activate ibus with CTRL+SPACE. Select marathi - Inscript 3. Type : kdk (which means consonant KA + Halant + Consonant KA) 4. Position the cursor at the beginning point of the composed character. 5. Now, press DELETE key. (It needs 3 key strokes to delete the whole character, but it should be done with a single key stroke in fact) Actual results: Delete composed character is happening in wrong manner. Actually it is now following the convention (Rule) of BACKSPACE, when deleting a composed character comes into picture. Expected results: It should delete the whole composed character in one DELETE key stroke when cursor positions at the start of the composed character. Additional info: OS : Fedora 13 Arch : i386 Additional Information: i think we should find document explaining standard behaviour of backspace and delete key as per defined by Unicode or Any other Standard. then only we can gave it as a reference for developer, i have seen this question raised some time in pango upstream. oowriter and gedit deleting characters till halant but qt is deleting characters by characters
Does this issue still persist in f15 say?
yes, still exist in Fedora 15 with following packages: qt-4.7.2-8.fc15.x86_64 kdebase-4.6.3-1.fc15.x86_64 pango-1.28.4-1.fc15.x86_64 libicu-4.4.2-7.fc15.x86_64 -- moving to Fedora 15
Hm, I should ask this earlier - can you please file a bug upstream if not yet?
Hi Tagoh Let me check in unstream, this bug filed long time back, can not remember really.
Still present in Fedora 17.
This message is a reminder that Fedora 17 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 4 (four) weeks from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 17. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as WONTFIX if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '17'. Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 17's end of life. Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we may not be able to fix it before Fedora 17 is end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora, you are encouraged change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 17's end of life. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete.
This issue still persists in f19.
