ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

Could you report that upstream to the TypeScript language server?
If the old version works but the new is broken that might be an issue on their side.

You can get more info what happens if you first export the env var LSPCLIENT_DEBUG with 1 and the start kate with -b

export LSPCLIENT_DEBUG=1
kate -b
