Kate crashes when pasting data that contains newlines in a new document and then saving. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Open Kate. 2. Type some text that contains new lines. 3. Click ^A to select this text and ^C to copy it. 4. Click the new file icon. 5. Type ^V in new window to paste the text. 6. Type ^S to save and enter a filename. Actual Results: Kate Crashes. With the above steps it's always reproducible. However, Kate doesn't always crash when saving a new file. For example, if you don't paste the data and type it yourself, or if you choose File->Save instead of typing ^S, it may not crash. It does crash quite often when saving a new file, though :-( Expected Results: guess... Backtrace: Using host libthread_db library "/lib/libthread_db.so.1". [KCrash handler] #6 0x00000001 in ??

What version of Kate/KDE? Perhaps it's fixed in 3.3.1?
KDE version = 3.3.0 It seems to be a problem with the libqt-mt library. Some other programs (Ark is one example) crash on this library under certain conditions. Maybe it's something I've compiled in libqt that most people haven't?
Have you tried recompiling qt?
Well, paradoxically, re-emerging qt seems to have solved the problem (and a couple of other predictable crashes). Gregorio, what do you think the problem was?
Who knows... ;) There are so many things that could be involved, compiler options, the compiler itself, glibc, some mismatch beetween libraries used at compile time and libraries used at runtime...
