Version: (using KDE 4.0.1) Installed from: Ubuntu Packages OS: Linux Kate doesn't respond after opening file in encoding CP-1251. If encoding is not specified (for example, when drag'n'drop from file manager - UTF-8 is by default). "Broken UTF-8 File Opened - Kate"-dialog appears. Application doesn't respond, it's nesessary to restart it.
I could not verify this behaviour with Kate 3.0.3 (KDE 4.0.3). Can you check this again with latest kate-kde4 Ubuntu package?
With the last version - KDE 4.0.3 - everything is okey.
Well, if it works, close it. If you run into it again, please reopen.
I can reproduce this in KDE 4.1.85 by opening the attached html file in the downstream bug (https://launchpad.net/bugs/269933) in kate.
Here using: I can reproduce the hang with the testcase file (comment 4) when navigating to the middle of the file.. Here is the backtrace when I pressed Ctrl+C in GDB to stop the hang: Starting program: /home/kde-devel/kde/bin/kwrite [Thread debugging using libthread_db enabled] [New Thread 0x7f5c8197d750 (LWP 5638)] Program received signal SIGINT, Interrupt.

I notice both this and bug 178789 talk about cp1251... might they be related?
Seems to be still valid here using: Qt: 4.5.1 (qt-copy 960517) KDE: 4.2.71 (KDE 4.2.71 (KDE 4.3 >= 20090428)) kdelibs svn rev. 963904 / kdebase svn rev. 963904 on ArchLinux i686 - Kernel 2.6.29.1
shouldn't this be reported upstream to Qt/Nokia?
This works for me in the development version. The problem in this file is that it has one very loooong line. And Qt has to completely layout this line (due to bidi suppoert) in order to be able to display it. We have a workaround for that in the development version: Here, lines are automatically wrapped at column ~1024 and the user is notified in KDE >=4.8. Then, nothing crashes and Kate/KWrite keeps to be responsive, especially when dynamic word wrap is turned off. As it's a known issue and partly solved through these workarounds, and since it's partly a known issue in Qt, we close this report.
