Bug Description
Binary package hint: kate
Hi!
This bug (or at least unexpected behaviour) applies to kile (1:2.1.
I am using Kubuntu 9.04.
Here is what happens:
- I have an indentated text with lines long more than the text area width that are dynamically word wrapped (see figure)
- I start with the cursor in position line=1 col=1
- I move the down arrow repeatedly
- The cursor moves through the following positions: (1,1) -> (2,1) -> (3,1) -> (4,1) -> (4,74) -> (5,5) -> (6,5)
What I expected (and find useful) is that the cursor should go back to column 1 as soon as it is "available" again,
i.e.: (1,1) -> (2,1) -> (3,1) -> (4,1) -> (4,74) -> (5,1) -> (6,1).
The current behaviour makes simple operations, e.g. the selection of blocks of source code, more difficult.
Thanks,
Luca

Thank you for filing this bug report. I can confirm this - going down from an unindented line to an indented line to an unindented line gets me to col 5 instead of 1.
