Hi. It seems Kwrite is now the default GUI text editor in KDE4 in 11.1.
I am familiar with clicking the cursor in “open space” in text editors
and having the cursor position itself at the end of the current line.
From there I can start typing. In KDE4/openSUSE 11.1, if I have the
mouse in the far right field (in white space) and click, the cursor will
settle there and auto create a bunch of single blank spaces from the end
of the current line to the unwanted new position of the cursor. I want
the cursor to go to the actual end of the line and not to create a bunch
of new single spaces tacked onto the end of the current line.
How can I turn this new feature off (or is it a bug)?

I’ve checked now. Can’t find one at KDE or at Novel Bugzilla. So do I
unedrstand you correctly – I can upgrade the KDE4 in 11.1 to 4.2 is
that right? Maybe also I’ll try a but report to Novell and while waiting
try the upgraded kwrite/KDE combo. Might also be easier to uninstall
kwrite for KDE4 and install kwrite for kde3 may be possible …hmmm.

Yes. But it’s classed ‘Unstable’. Though I find it better than 4.1.3
Stable.
There are one or two dependency issues to work thru on the upgrade, but
it should be straightforward for a Linux guru such as yourself.

I wonder how you ended up with anything other than ‘Normal’ in the
first place.

spare computer that has the plasma default insert top LHS of screen
containing 7 icons including a Gnome terminal. How Gnome terminal got in
there is a wonder too

In the install I chose the KDE but before I clicked “everything is
fine” switch that proceeds with the install, I altered the “Software” to
include the Gnome DE (via Patterns). That’s probably confused the
install.
If I rename to KDE4old I get a plasmoid with the contents of /home/john
in it when I log in again.

You mean a folder view. That is normal, you can delete it or modify
what it displays.

Yes I suppose that’s what I mean. I’m content ATM about it all, but
KDE4 is certainly a trial! When will it become as good as KDE3 I wonder
– another 6 to 12 months perhaps. But it should be worth the wait
because presumably all this was done for a good reason.
