Kate needs BiDi/Unicode aware developers ;)
During our long bug hunting and fixing sprint I came along some nasty BiDi or Unicode related bugs.
I and most others in the Kate team are not really able to fix such issues :( We lack both the knowledge of the underlying techniques and are not able to write/read any language that really uses complex unicode chars or BiDi text.
Therefore: If you know Qt and you want to help out with fixing BiDi/Unicode related bugs, please provide patches for them in the KDE Bugzilla!
Here are the relevant bugs:
- https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=70986
- https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=165397
- https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=172630

Any help here is highly appreciated! If you have questions about the internals of KatePart needed to fix such an issue, just ask in the bug or kwrite-devel@kde.org.
