Bug ID: 464690
Summary: Spell checking is confused by Python format strings
Classification: Applications
Product: kate
Version: 22.08.2
Platform: Other
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: minor
Priority: NOR
Component: general
Assignee: [email protected]
Reporter: [email protected]
Target Milestone: ---
SUMMARY
When Kate encounters a format string like “f'Some {1} things'”, it highlights
the “f'Some” part as misspelled as if the “f'” prefix was part of the first
word. It is not very consistent though, e.g. I have two instances of
“mbox.setText(f'Can’t ...” and in one place it highlights “f'Can’t” while in
the other, it highlights “f'Can” only.
Note that it works well with regular quoted strings.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Open Kate or KWrite
2. Create new document
3. Set the document type to Python (saving it as .py does that as well IIUC)
4. Type (not paste) “var = f'Some thing theree'” (without outer quotes)
(pasting may not trigger the spell check)
OBSERVED RESULT
“f'Some” and “theree” highlighted as misspelled.
EXPECTED RESULT
Only “theree” is highlighted as misspelled.
SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
KDE Plasma Version: 5.26.3
KDE Frameworks Version: 5.101.0
Qt Version: 5.15.7
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
The behavior seems to be the same as with plaintext documents where it IS
expected.
Also, using “f"” instead of “f'” seems to help.
