           Summary: Erroneous text cursor behavior in multi-line paste
                    editor
           Product: konversation
           Version: SVN
          Platform: Unlisted Binaries
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
        AssignedTo: konversation-devel at kde.org
        ReportedBy: hein at kde.org

The text cursor behavior in the multi-line paste editor exhibits the following
bug:

When having two lines of text:

Foo
Bar

... and then placing the cursor in front of "Bar" and pressing backspace to
remove the line break, the cursor will be placed after the "B" in the resulting
"FooBar" line, rather than between "F" and "B" as expected.

The multi-line paste editor code was originally taken from KBabel, a defunct
KDE 3 application for editing KDE translations. IMHO, it was flakey code to
begin with, and probably needs a wholesale replacement. The hard-coded color it
uses for line break visualization (and other visualizations) is also a bit
annoying; it should be derived from the KDE color scheme in some way instead.
