Created attachment 125129 [details] short screencast demonstrating the problem SUMMARY It is not possible to enter 'space' when the preview sidebar is open during markdown input. STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Open any markdown (.md) document in Kate 2. Make sure the "Document Preview" plugin is enabled in Settings->Configure Kate -> Plugins 3. Open the document preview 4. Continue typing in the markdown document OBSERVED RESULT Almost all input keys are accepted, but using the space bar does not insert space characters. This is true both for normal mode and vi input. EXPECTED RESULT All keyboard keys should insert their respective characters into the document when pressed, regardless of the markdown preview being shown or not.
