Description darton 2011-10-24 14:03:54 UTC
Description of problem:

When <Enter> key is pressed in mousepad, nothing changes in the WYSIWYG display, however the key is not really ignored and line break is added to the text.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

mousepad.x86_64 0.2.16-4.fc15

How reproducible:

always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Launch mousepad.
2. Type in [A], [Enter], [B] (that is, press-and-release the designated keys on the keyboard, one after another).
  
Actual results:

String "ab" is displayed in the text edit area.

Expected results:

Two letters, "a" then "b", are displayed on different lines.

Additional info:

The editor seems to not totally ignore line breaks, it just doesn't display them in a correct and consistent way. If you press Alt+Tab, the text in the editor changes immediately, reflecting all the linebreaks entered. If you save your changes, the linebreaks will be present in the text. However, if you type a,enter,b then the resulting text will be "ab\n", not "a\nb".

Sadly, mousepad is not supported very well upstream anymore. We have moved away from it in Fedora Xfce as well. 

Can you try leafpad and see if it meets your needs?

Comment 2 Fedora End Of Life 2012-08-07 19:56:06 UTC
This message is a notice that Fedora 15 is now at end of life. Fedora
has stopped maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 15. It is
Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no
longer maintained. At this time, all open bugs with a Fedora 'version'
of '15' have been closed as WONTFIX.

(Please note: Our normal process is to give advanced warning of this
occurring, but we forgot to do that. A thousand apologies.)

Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you
plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, feel free to reopen
this bug and simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version.

Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that
we were unable to fix it before Fedora 15 reached 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 to click on
"Clone This Bug" (top right of this page) and open it against that
version of Fedora.

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.

The process we are following is described here:
