Are you sure the html file is not write protected? Because here I'm editing a html-file just fine.

Could it be that the html file has very wide lines which results in the file being opened in readonly mode (a wide line problem worked around by wrapping the line)

It is wide lines. What is the problem and when will it be fixed ?
Comment 3 Dominik Haumann 2012-02-02 19:18:55 UTC 
It is a problem in Qt itself, as we support bi-directional text rendering, and in order to do that successfully, the entire line needs to be layouted. And this is where Qt is very bad at for very long lines.

A workaround exists in KDE 4.8, Kate will automatically wrap the lines at column 1024 (depending what you configure in the settings). It's still not optimal, but better than a stall of the program.

I close this as duplicate report.
