Description Rolf Eike Beer 2004-10-13 16:35:15 UTC

Version:           2.3 (using KDE 3.3.0, SuSE)
Compiler:          gcc version 3.3.1 (SuSE Linux)
OS:                Linux (i686) release 2.6.8-rc4

I tried to edit a long diff with Kate. It crashes every time I open the diff. It has something to do with the binary data at the end of the file (my make clean missed one object file) but kate does not crash if the diff only contains this file.

Could you provide a backtrace please?

Comment 3 Dik Takken 2004-10-13 23:50:59 UTC

This file crashes Kate 100% reproducably on KDE 3.3.0, Gentoo. Unfortunately I don't have a debug build, but anyone should be able to reproduce this one.

my build got this (I think the crash occurs even before the highlighting kicks in):

Ok, true. Switch to UTF-8 encoding and it won't crash anymore afaik.
Btw: I saw it with my own eyes at akademy - on cullmanns notebook kate does not crash *strange*
