Bug ID: 388239 Summary: kate long line wrapping only works after restart Product: kate Version: unspecified Platform: Other OS: Linux Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: normal Priority: NOR Component: application Assignee: kwrite-bugs-n...@kde.org Reporter: krichter...@aol.de Target Milestone: --- Created attachment 109524 --> https://bugs.kde.org/attachment.cgi?id=109524&action=edit allows to reproduce (open in another editor and paste into kate) When creating extremely long lines in `kate` (most likely through pasting), the view jumps to the end of the line when scrolling down and to the beginning when scrolling up which makes it impossible to read the middle. This issues is avoided after a restart when `kate` provides a view with line breaks (and an option to save it). The scrolling shouldn't be different for long lines because not only the skipping of the middle part is an issue, but the jumping of the scroll interval as well. A possible use case is pasting web server integration test logs containing base64-encoded screenshot which are ready to run on a headless CI server. A few 100 KB in one base64-encoded line can easily have a few million characters. Even it the use case is rare, `kate` should be capable of handling it. experienced with 17.08.3 on Kubuntu 18.04-daily -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
