Bug Description

Binary package hint: kde4libs

when i'm typing an email on kmail, and get a bad written word, kmail offers to correct it.
since this Fridays updates, the correction, not only fixes the wrong word, but also replaces the word that was written before it.

ex:
"this is a grong sentence"
gets "fixed" with:
"this iwrongrong sentence"

I can confirm this bug. It happens with Konqueror too, so it's not a KMail-specific issue. The problem is that when you right-click the word the highlighting goes all funky.

Possibly a Qt issue. (Or at least caused by the Qt 4.5 upgrade)
