Syntax highlights functions with the schema's text color in Kate

This is expected behaviour for the semantic highlighting; it shows names in different colours depending on their type and context in addition to the basic KTextEditor highlighting.

You can disable the feature if you don't like it: go to "Settings -> Configure KDevelop -> Language Support" and set the two "colorization intensity" sliders to 0.


That the semantic highlighting colours are hardcoded and not themselves adjustable in the colour configuration is itself a missing feature, see
