KDE-Forum.org

When I write in kate, the letters before, or after the line can be unshown. When saving, moving the cursor with the mouse, resizing, or selecting, some part of the text can disappear randomly anywhere in the text area. When selected, the text reappear.

Thanks for reading the problem, I hope somebody have some clues to solve that If you require some more infos, please ask! (I've already tried to reinstall it, with no success about resolving the problem :-/)

Conf infos -----------
I have installed kubuntu 9.04 recently and this problems has been there from the start. Classic configuration (no tweeks). KDE 4.2.2, Kate 3.2.2

EDIT

I get some help from eMyller and milian on IRC.
alias kate='kate --graphicssystem raster' and modifying your kate.desktop file should do it.

It's a gpu problem, not kate's, maybe mostly with intel graphic cards. You can also update your kde version to 4.3, it should be helpfull (try http://tuxarena.blogspot.com/2009/08/how…ntukubuntu.html).
