Version: 2.3.2 (using KDE KDE 3.3.2) Installed from: Gentoo Packages Compiler: gcc 3.4 -O3 OS: Linux 1. Open kate 2. create new file with ctr+N 3. Enter arbitrary but non-zero amount of text 4. save file with ctr+S 5. enter new (non-existant) filename 6. click save 7. kate crashes (after correctly saving file) Works fine when saving a new file over an already existing file, or when saving a new blank file as a new filename. This bug also exists in kate 2.3.1
The work around is to use Ctrl+Shift+S (all other way of trying to save might crash.) Bug #83708 tells that it should be fixed in Kate CVS Head. Have a nice day! *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 83708 ***
