Could anyone reproduce this weird behavior in Kate:
Open two documents in a Split View
Left Click at any word on the left
Press CTRL+F
Press F3
What will probably happen: Kate tries some funky move within the document on the right.
What should happen: Kate should perform the “Find Next” task. What actually works is to omit the Step 3 above, but then you wouldn’t be able to edit the word you clicked before your search (in case you would like to perform a search by using only a part of it).
I tested with Kate 23.08.4, so selecting any word (left view) then clicking CTRL+F to search for it, then pressing F3 many times will simply wrap the search on the left view while nothing happens on the right view.
Was it a typo? I use the same version of Kate. Anyway, there must be a glitch in the Matrix. I can’t reproduce it today and these days it gave me a lot of headache. It seems like another step is missing in order to reproduce it and if I come across it again, I will update the steps above. Thanks.
I tested it again and it has something to do when there’s a text selection in the right view. Going back and forth through my virtual desktops is definitely another key element, but when I get back to my Kate and proceed with my original steps, I could reproduce this issue with my mouse pointer on the left view the whole time.
I just had it again. The same reproducible issue. Then I closed Kate, made a selection in the right view, went to another virtual desktop and tried to reproduce it again and now I just can’t reproduce it. There must be another key element to this puzzle. After some time, it just “randomly” starts happening.
I have the same setup, except the kernel version, which is 6.1.71-1-MANJARO (64-bit).
I can’t reproduce it today and these days it gave me a lot of headache. It seems like another step is missing in order to reproduce it and if I come across it again, I will update the steps above. Thanks.
