This ticket is for the Calligra office suite. If KTextEditor based
applications, such as Kate, KWrite, Kile, or KDevelop show the same error,
please file a separate ticket for Kate.

I can confirm the behaviour mentioned by beojan. I see that both kwrite and
kate use ktexteditor but I can't figure out how delete is handled. Am I correct
in assuming that ktexteditor handles it or is done by lower level library?

In fact, there's an easy way for anyone to reproduce this without knowing
Tamil. The bug is in how Unicode combining characters are handled.

Here is a Unicode combining acute accent:  ́
Here is an 'e' followed by the above character: é

Type an e in your chosen application, then copy and paste the acute accent from
above. If you then press backspace, only the accent should be deleted. If the
bug is present, the e will also be deleted.

QtCreator doesn't exhibit this bug, neither does VLC. KWrite (17.04) does.

The hint about clementine is relevant as it is probably then a problem in both
Kate and Calligra. Not the same directly but we seem to both have made a
similar mistake

The next thing is finding a tamill speaking developer and have them get in
contact with us.

Without a tamill keyboard and knowledge etc it's rather hard for us to know if
we are doing the right thing - let alone that we don't have time to work on it

I am using the Tamil layout from ibus/ibus-m17n and set it at boot time to
switch between US and IN(TAM) using CAPS. I wanted to set it up globally to
make sure it works in other WMs as well and it works inside plasma as well.

For example the intended behaviour described in the first comment works in
Firefox and for a pure Qt example, clementine search has this behaviour. I am
testing clementine's Qt5 experimental branch. Please do suggest any other test
I could perform to narrow it down.

H kate and calligra doesn't use the same backend - except Qt and possibly
some input helper app you have installed.

This indicates to me that the bug well not be be fixed here - but again as
Cristoph said it's very low on our list of bugs.

But please gather more info like what other apps have the issue, and if some
setting somewhere can prevent it

I can confirm that this happens in kate as well and I was just talking to some
on IRC about in #kate this year. I had forgotten to file a bug, sorry. This
seems to affect all application that use same backend for handling input. Can
this issue be considered again.
