After upgrading to kde-frameworks/ktexteditor-5.24.0 from 5.23.0 the 'auto brackets' feature in Kate (which uses the ktexteditor component) no longer works as expected. Using Kate (with auto-brackets enabled) and 5.23.0 if one types [ followed by ' the result is: ['|'] where a | is used to indicate the position of the caret. However, after upgrading to 5.24.0 the result becomes: ['|] where the closing ' has not been automatically inserted. Downgrading to 5.23.0 resolves the issue.
5.25.0 in tree, is it possibly fixed?

I would suggest to report upstream, then. If you are able to bisect the offending commit, I am sure that would be helpful to them.
Upstream fix: https://quickgit.kde.org/?p=ktexteditor.git&a=commit&h=4269c30acacc80113e798784341b0b7638ebcf71
5.26.0 is in tree now
