           Summary: Wish: words will not jump on backspace in textboxen
           Product: kate
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: Fedora RPMs
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Severity: wishlist
          Priority: NOR
         Component: kwrite
        AssignedTo: kwrite-devel kde org
        ReportedBy: kde-2 dotancohen com


Version:            (using KDE KDE 3.5.6)
Installed from:    Fedora RPMs
OS:                Linux

Automatic textwrap in KDE textboxen move an entire word to the beginning of \
the next row when the word is too long to fit in the box. This is expected \
behaviour. However, when deleting letters in the word, it jumps back to the \
end of the previous line. This is consistent with every other OS I've ever \
seen.

However, it would be preferable if the word did not jump around, and would \
stay at the beginning of the next line until it is finished, only then will \
the choice of bringing it up a line be made.

The rational is that one would be typing a word, and then it jumps down a \
line. The user makes a correction, and the word jumps twice more: once when \
backspacing, and again when typing the corrected text. This is very \
annoying to users who look at the screen while typing and not at the \
keyboard. In my experience, once a word moves down a line, even if it gets \
corrected, it will wind up staying there after the correction. \
