Hi,
I do not know if this is the one you are refeering to:
After going to After setting personal-settings->State and Language to Hebrew a
significant part of KDE stops working.
like running kcmshell keyboard crashes.
I traced this bug to this routine in: qt-2.3.1/src/tools/qrtlcodec.cpp
line 185:
static void reverse(QString &input, unsigned int a, unsigned int b)
{
// evil cast... I know...
QChar *chars = (QChar *)input.unicode();
QChar temp;
while (a < b) {
temp = chars[a];
chars[a] = chars[b];
chars[b] = temp;
a++; b--;
}
}
the b is being passed with -1 (a huge number since it is put into a uint)
I put a "fix" in line 210 from :
-----------------------------------------------------
static void reverse(QString &str, unsigned int a, unsigned int b,
QChar::Direction dir)
{
// first reverse....
if(a != 0 || b != str.length()-1 || dir != QChar::DirL)
reverse(str, a, b);
// now, go through it, to see if there is some substring
// we need to reverse again...
QChar::Direction opposite = (dir==QChar::DirL ? QChar::DirR : QChar::DirL);
while(a <= b )
{
-------------------------------------------------------
To:
static void reverse(QString &str, unsigned int a, unsigned int b,
QChar::Direction dir)
{
// first reverse....
if(a != 0 || b != str.length()-1 || dir != QChar::DirL)
reverse(str, a, b);
// now, go through it, to see if there is some substring
// we need to reverse again...
QChar::Direction opposite = (dir==QChar::DirL ? QChar::DirR : QChar::DirL);
if (b != 0)
while(a <= b )
{
-----------------------------------------------------
Now this fix is Heuristic but it seems to work. I suppose somebody at Trolll
who maintains the code could do a better job.
In any case it is obvious that b should not be 0 at this point.
It now works for me.
You will have to compile and replace your libqt.so.2.3.1 or I can give you a
copy.
