4. Hit ? to open reverse find text box
5. Hit any letter/symbol/number

Actual Results:  
Kate segfaults

Kate accepts the input and does not segfault

I cannot reproduce this. Could you provide the backtrace ?

Must be a recent regression: does not happen before upgrade to 14.12.2-2 (arch repository, not sure what the previous version was).

Comment 4 Miquel Sabaté 2015-02-25 14:51:47 UTC

I've tried out Kate from the Archlinux repos and I can reproduce your crash there. I've tried to reproduce this on git and I couldn't. So my guess is that this has already been fixed (even though I couldn't find the precise commit fixing this).

Since you're using Archlinux, note that using kate-git from AUR wouldn't work either because it picks ktexteditor 4.7.0, just like your current version. You could try out ktexteditor-git, and it would most probably work for you then, but it would download the whole KDE Frameworks from git too...

Therefore, I'm marking this bug as fixed, but feel free to re-open it if it still affects you on a Kate based on KTextEditor >= 4.8.0.

Comment 5 Teemu Erkkola 2015-02-25 15:07:39 UTC

Hi, 
Thanks for looking into this. I'll report back if the problem persists when KTextEditor >= 4.8.0 reaches arch/extra. Have a nice day!

This also happens for normal find.
