Version: 3.2.2 (using 4.2.2 (KDE 4.2.2), Kubuntu packages) Compiler: cc OS: Linux (i686) release 2.6.28-11-generic It seems like Kate crashes when try to open a file called "index.html" which is in cp1251 incoding and contained russian letters.
I think I have fixed this bug some days ago. Just to be sure: If you can reproduce the crash at will, may you read http://techbase.kde.org/Development/Tutorials/Debugging/How_to_create_useful_crash_reports and post a complete backtrace here? You need to install the "kdelibs5-dbg" package. Thanks
How did you fix it? I can't even run kate now. And the backtrce crushes too. ------------------------ This backtrace appears to be of no use. This is probably because your packages are built in a way which prevents creation of proper backtraces, or the stack frame was seriously corrupted in the crash (no debugging symbols found) (no debugging symbols found) [Thread debugging using libthread_db enabled] [New Thread 0xb59bf700 (LWP 4769)] (no debugging symbols found) (no debugging symbols found) 0xb7f7b430 in __kernel_vsyscall () [Current thread is 0 (process 4769)] Thread 1 (Thread 0xb59bf700 (LWP 4769)): #0 0xb7f7b430 in __kernel_vsyscall () #1 0xb6656780 in nanosleep () from /lib/tls/i686/cmov/libc.so.6 #2 0xb66565be in sleep () from /lib/tls/i686/cmov/libc.so.6 #3 0xb7aee8b2 in ??

I fixed it in the development branch of the KDE code. The fix should be in KDE4.2.4 and 4.3. Please install the "kdelibs5-dbg" package to get a better backtrace. Thanks
Here is what I have after installing kdelibs5-dbg. This is when I try to run kate from terminal. (It can't be open at all from K-menu.)

Indeed, it is the same crash I fixed some days ago, the fix will be on KDE4.2.4 and 4.3 Marking as duplicate of bug 178789 Thanks *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 178789 ***
