When I press save or save as on Kate, the application will instantly quit without warning, all code or scripts I have written are instantly lost. I am using XFCE 4.1.2 (standard desktop version not Mint version) on LInux Mint 17.3 Rosa. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Open Kate in XFCE 4.1.2 desktop environment 2. Press Save or Save As Actual Results: The program will quit without any warning. Expected Results: Ask where to save the file and assign it a name. i have labelled this as a critical error because I lost a substantial amount of code when it quit. I have tested it many times and the same error happens each time.
Which version of Kate are you using?
I am using version 3.8.3.
Would it be possible for you to test with the latest versions of everything? Ie.: Kate 16.04.2 KDE Frameworks 5.23.0 Qt 5.7
I don't have such issues with any KF5 version, please try to update to some recent (16.04 or 16.08) version, if that still happens (which I hope it doesn't) reopen, thanks!
