Opening a file in Dolphin with Kate while Kate is already open causes Dolphin to hang. Closing the tab (in Kate) of the opened file causes Dolphin to display an error message: "KDEInit could not launch '/usr/bin/kate'". After pressing OK, everything returns back to normal. This causes major disruption in my workflow since I can no longer open multiple files in Kate using Dolphin. Also, I have not found an workaround. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Open Kate 2. Open a file with Kate in Dolphin 3. Test if Dolphin is responsive 4. Close the opened file's tab in Kate 5. Test again if Dolphin is responsive Actual Results: a. Dolphin hangs after opening file b. Dolphin displays error message after closing tab Expected Results: a. Dolphin should stay responsive after opening file b. Dolphin should not encounter an error after closing tab Versions: Dolphin: Version 14.11.97 Using KDE Development Platform 4.14.4 Kate: Version 5.0.0 Using KDE Frameworks 5.6.0 Package Versions: kdebase-dolphin 14.12.1-2 kdelibs 4.14.4-1 kate 14.12.1-4
Thanks for the bug report. I can reproduce this with both Dolphin 4.x and the KF5-based version (provided Kate 5 is running when selecting "Open with..." in Dolphin. The backtraces look similar (blocks in DBus code that is called from KToolInvocation (which is used by KRun). So the problem seems to be in KService or KIO.
