Application: kate (3.8.4)
KDE Platform Version: 4.8.4 (4.8.4)
Qt Version: 4.8.2
Operating System: Linux 3.6-5.slh.3-aptosid-686 i686
Distribution: Debian GNU/Linux unstable (sid)

-- Information about the crash:
- What I was doing when the application crashed:

Cutting/pasting/typing/deleting text within KATE sometimes kills the whole program. Luckily she's always managed to Recover the last edits. Weirdly, repeating the same edit (after recovering) doesn't crash, so it seems random and not repeatable, just keeps happening every few days - sometimes a few times in succession at random moments, other times just once in a while.

BTW, I read all the other related bugs that the Crash Reporting Assitant suggested, and while this is quite close to some, it has nothing to do with Code Folding.

Other programs running: Iceweasel with lotsa tabs (no flash installed, just Gnash but no heavy videos in use), Rox-Filer, Terminal, and usually 4+ KATE instances each with 20-ish documents open. I live in KATE, and she runs my entire life+business! :-) This is in fluxbox on Debian/Aptosid (not xfce as mentioned below).

- Custom settings of the application:

I often use Other->Diff Highlighting mode for some of my text documents, not because they are diffs, but purely for the nice colourscheme :-) The crashes seem to happen to these kind of files, but might not just be limited to them. I'd offer to submit an example text file, but many contain personal data or are huge, and the bug seems unrepeatable anyway so I don't think it would help much. After seeing the bug quite a lot I installed kate-dbg to hopefully give you better info.

P.S. KATE rocks! Even in her slightly borken state ;-)

The crash can be reproduced some of the time.
