When opening a new session/instance of Kate the application is unresponsive and starts eating CPU. strace reveals that Kate keeps doing getcwd() endlessly instead of just once, so it never becomes responsive to input. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Open kate (new session) 2. strace `pgrep kate` 3. Observe Actual Results: Kate never becomes responsive to input (i.e. the blinking insert-text-cursor never starts blinking, it just doesn't get that far), but instead burns CPU cycles endlessly doing getcwd() getting the same answer back over and over again. Kate cannot be quit normally, it has to be killed (e.g. via the kwin terminate application feature/sanity check). Expected Results: I'd expect Kate to do getcwd() once, maybe twice...

I turns out that rm -rf ~/.local/share/kate 'fixed' it, so it seems a bad session file was involved.
