Description

Environment

  • TeXstudio: 4.5.1
  • Qt:
  • OS: Windows 10
  • TeX distribution: texlive 2022

Expected behavior

When I write in math mode (e.g. By pressing Ctrl+Shift+M) I expect it switch language to En automatically and when I press End button or move cursor away from math mode it switches back to local language again.

Actual behavior

When I write in math mode (e.g. By pressing Ctrl+Shift+M) it switches language to En correctly but when I enter one character it switches language back to local even in math mode.

sometimes I switch to En manually but after inserting one character it switches back to local again.

Contributor guide

Research direction
Investigate the code responsible for math mode detection and automatic language switching. Look at how keyboard events are handled in math mode and how the bidirectional text feature interacts. Check for any recent changes that might have introduced the regression.
