Bug ID: 447225
Summary: Cursor "jumps" one character to the right when
inputting dead keys ' and " in US alt. intl. keyboard
layout
Product: kate
Version: 21.08.1
Platform: Ubuntu Packages
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: general

Target Milestone: ---
SUMMARY
***
I have used the editor kate for about 20 years now. After a recent update, I
experience a strange behaviour. When I want to input quotation marks, the
cursor "jumps" one character to the right, putting the quotation mark *after*
the character, where it should be before
Suppose I want to add quotation marks around "hello" as shown below. At first,
I get ¨, which indicates that a composing character has been input, which is
waiting for another keypress to decide whether it should become ä, ö, ü or, in
this case ". This character ¨ appears where it should appear. As soon as I
press <SPACE>, however, it jumps one character to the right.
`s = hello`
`s = ¨hello`
`s = h"ello`
The same is true for the ' combining character. If I want to correct "Cdiz" to
"Cádiz", I get the following
`s = hello`
`s = ´hello`
`s = h'ello`
The issue does not occur with ^ or `.
The issue occurs with other Qt-programs (kile, open-scad). It does not occur
with non-Qt-programs.
Input via other keyboard layouts (german) is fine.
