Kate crashes reproducibly following the steps below. Note that it does NOT crash if 1) I do not split the view 2) I reopen the file via normal "open" button 3) I reopen the file before closing it Kate version is 15.08.2 Using: KDE Frameworks 5.15.0 Qt 5.4.2 (built against 5.4.2) The xcb windowing system Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Run `touch test` 2. Run `kate test.txt` 3. Close the file (not Kate) 4. Click on File -> Open recent -> test.txt Actual Results: Segmentation fault (core dumped) Expected Results: Reopen the file! I actually run `strace kate test.txt &> log_kate.txt`. The last lines of log_kate.txt can be found in http://pastebin.com/DAEhRbjn
Cannot reproduce, probably got fixed meanwhile. If you can provide a proper backtrace, please do so.
Sorry, I am not using KDE anymore so I cannot reproduce.
