I have the same problem. I'm also on arch.
Versions:
 - Kate: 20.12.3
 - Openbox: 3.6.1
Not sure what else might be useful, I can provide more info if needed.

Comment 3 Thomas Kolar 2021-04-29 18:57:04 UTC

I just realized that I have another machine with almost the same setup that I haven't updated as recently. Here, it is working with Kate 20.12.2!
