Version: 1.8.1 (using KDE KDE 3.4.1) Installed from: Slackware Packages Compiler: gcc 3.3.5 OS: Linux Hi, I just had a crash in kile. I was just editing a LaTeX file. At the moment of the crash, I was removing several characters with the 'delete' key on the keyboard. That was in a quite long line of text, with long $...$ and $$...$$ mathematical expressions. Could be a bug in syntax highlighting. Below is what KCrash told me. Kile was compiled from source tarball, but for the rest, I use Slackware packages. Slackware recently recompiled glibc to include support for NPTL (the Native POSIX Thread Library), if that can help. Using host libthread_db library "/lib/tls/libthread_db.so.1".

Some clarification... the version number, 1.8.1, is that of Kile. I use KDE 3.4.1 with the version of Kwrite/Kate that comes with it. This is most probably a bug in the syntax highlighting code for .tex files.

Does all files crash, or only some, and do you know which text they contain that causes the crash? Can you attach a file that causes a crash to this bug report? Can you provide a backtrace?
> Can you provide a backtrace? I filed a bug report here, with a backtrace : http://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=107866 probably you didn't see it because it was a Kile bug report, but the Kile developer reassigned it to kate, because the backtrace says the problem occured in libkatepart.so. My understanding is that it has crashed while updating the syntax highlighting after I removed some text with the backspace key. There were $ signs, and you know that when you remove a $ sign, that results in a large change of highlighting as text gets math mode toggled on/off. Unfortunately I haven't been able to reproduce this bug. The crash only happened once. I can't give you more information than what I wrote in the bug report.
