Hi,

in case you did not notice yet. It seems Lokalize (as some other
apps) is broken with Qt 4.7.

With 4.7.1 it crashes when you remove characters at the end of
a string with backspace [1].

There is a fix from the upstream repositories [2] that was backported
to many distro's 4.7.1 packages. This fix however leads to a more
serious issue for us translators.[3] If you now use the backspace key
an the end of a string, not all characters are removed from the
internal representation of that string. So, your string looks fine
but may be not. You have to switch to another string and back to
see the actual string as it it saved to the file.

So, please check your strings, if you happen to use Qt 4.7.1 or any
patched version of 4.7.1. I do not know if 4.7.2 is also affected.

Regards
