Description Nicolas F. 2015-03-05 11:07:03 UTC 
Kate crashes before saving the file when attempting to save it in Vi Input Mode by hitting ":w". Using Ctrl+S or just the GUI works fine though.

Notably, kate crashes before Enter is hit. The console output is as follows:

katepart:        ":"
katepart:        "w"
katepart: New text:  "w"
KCrash: Application 'kate' crashing...

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Set Kate to Vi Input Mode
2. Hit : followed by w
3. Panic
