SUMMARY
Double-clicking the first word of a line and then dragging the cursor to the
right results in some of the text in the line being deleted. This happens in
both Kate and Kwrite.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Create a blank document in Kate or Kwrite.
2. Type the following text into the document: `testing the bug`
3. Double-click on the word `testing` to select it, then continue dragging the
cursor to the right to select the rest of the line.
OBSERVED RESULT
The four characters to the right of `testing` are deleted (` the`). The line
now reads `testing bug`.
EXPECTED RESULT
No characters should be deleted when performing a text select operation.
SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
Linux/KDE Plasma: Fedora Linux 43
KDE Plasma Version: 6.6.1
KDE Frameworks Version: 6.23.0
Qt Version: 6.10.2
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
I was able to reproduce this on two out of my three Fedora 43 installs:
* Laptop: reproducible
* Desktop: bug does not occur
* VM on my desktop (virt-manager): reproducible
All three systems are up to date with the exact same OS, so perhaps there is a
settings difference between these systems that may account for the bug
occurring on some but not all installations.
