Description

Environment

  • TeXstudio: 4.1.2
  • Qt: 6.2.2
  • OS: MacOS 11.6.1
  • TeX distribution: texlive 2021

Expected behavior

If I type a special string, Typinator should replace the string.

Actual behavior

The special string is just deleted and not replaced. (In other programs, like e.g. Atom, the replacement works as expected.)

How to reproduce

You have to install Typinator to reproduce the behavior.

Contributor guide

Research direction
Investigate how TeXstudio handles text input and look for any changes in Qt 6.2.2 that might interfere with Typinator's text replacement. Focus on the QTextEdit or QPlainTextEdit event handling and verify if there are any overridden events or filters that could block Typinator.
