Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: kdesdk
Binary package hint: kate
Kate (or a kde library I suppose) does not seem to update the screen
output of the text-area, thus when I use the scroll-wheel of the mouse
or the page-up/-down buttons to navigate, I do not see the lines that
should be visible by now. When then using the up/down buttons to
navigate line by line, Kate will eventually update the graphical output
of the line in which the cursor is ±3 lines top and below. However as
navigating within text-files is very essential for an editor, this bug
prevents usability completely.
The desktop is running the compiz composite manager using an nvidia
graphics device. Other kde applications (such as kaffeine) or other
parts of kate do not show similar problems, neither do gnome
applications.
