As a default setting, composer has the Otions->Wordwrap = On. With this
setting, if I enter an URL with dashes longer than the number of
characters per line, the URL is broken up after the dash ('-') as a
normal word.

I don't know any way to avoid this than ecah time explicitely switch
Wordwrap = Off in composer when writing a new mail. The previous kmail
from KDE3 did not have such a behaviour, did it?

Note that wordwrapping is done on QTextEdit, so this is probably a Qt

Alright, good to know, but can't you contact the Qt development team to declare that on an expert-to-expert level, please?
May be for Qt developers this is normal and they won't change this behaviour and the developer using Qt has to put a workaround for this into the application. I'm really not qualified to discuss this on this level at the moment :-)

Simply testing and not developing KMail, it comes up in KMail ;-) To
this time I haven't been  faced with a bad wordwrapping in another
application.

So if this is fixed in OpenSuse 11 this has maybe been forward-ported by

Hi Gerd, I do not have any idea what's the best address for this issue,
I'm not familar with neither KDE nor Qt programming and leave the
decision on experts.

This is because the UnicodeTables and harfbuzz recognize a "-" as a soft hyphen ie a word break. If you look at a contribution to add this feature to
                                src/gui/text/qtextlayout.cpp
then we will seek to add that feature for a future release of Qt for Linx.

Okay. I don't understand these technical issues. I just reported these

So why don't the mantainer switch this bug from resolved to unsolved?

They probably included a patch for this issue in there Qt packages.

Because from a KDE perspective the bug solved. But if you look at
comment #22 you will see a link to the Qt issue report.

There is none. There is only a link to the task manager in general.
Until there is a link to the Qt bug (which isn't fixed as of Qt-4.6.0)
where we can comment on this, this bug is not closed. We're still
affected by this bug. Re-opening.

Sad news: upstream doesn't seem to concerned about this bug (link in
Comment #34), because it's marked it as "solved" "out of scope".

IMHO if upstream doesn't consider it a bug, it becomes a KDE bug, since
a bug it clearly is!

Please don't clone the issue, that will just add more noise for the
developers. The only thing we can do is submit a patch to Qt at this
point.

Possibly contributing a patch is a second step, first the fight is about
recognising that there is an issue with Qt and thus have an open report
in the tracker about it.

@H.H: Upstream indicated they are open towards a patch in their tracker,
so if somebody wants to develop a patch, we should submit it with them.
(Possibly in a new issue, refering to the old now closed one.)

This bug was reported more than 2 YEARS ago, and it's still present in
Kmail 1.13.5 (running under KDE 4.5.2 on Mandriva 2010.2).

Anyone who can at last get this fixed will be doing a great service for
Kmail users - whether it be a Qt fix or a workaround in KMail.

Please?!
