SUMMARY Happens in both Windows 10 Store version and installer version STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Open "Settings->Configure Kate" in menu OBSERVED RESULT Kate crashes directly without freeze EXPECTED RESULT Open some settings window? I have no idea since it always crashes. SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS Windows: Windows 10 Home, 1909, 18363.657 macOS: Linux/KDE Plasma: (available in About System) KDE Plasma Version: KDE Frameworks Version: 5.67.0 Qt Version: 5.14.0 ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
Created attachment 126570 [details] Dump files found in AppData/Local/CrashDumps
It also happens in the latest nightly version.
Thanks for the report. I tried, but cannot reproduce. Unfortunately I don't have the debug symbols for the libraries and kate so I could not get too much info from the crash-dump :( I suspect that it could be a plugin that you have loaded that triggers the crash. Can you try to remove the configuration files for kate under .../AppData/Local/ and see if that fixes the crash. There is a bunch of rc files under there and then a few folders that are related... Thanks, Kåre
(In reply to Kåre Särs from comment #3) I didn't install any plugin and have the default settings (I can't change them). There's a "katerc" file and a "kate" directory in "AppData/Local". Removing them doesn't fix the crash, and they appear again after I reopen Kate.

(In reply to whyharry9 from comment #0) > KDE Frameworks Version: 5.67.0 There was a regression in kcmutils 5.67.0 that caused kontact to crash when opening its settings. This might be the cause for this crash here too I suppose. See bug#417396.
Hmm, I tried this with the last build, works for me. I now submitted this build to the store (first 20.04 version, should be online in a few days). Could you retry with that one? Or try to get if from the alternatives listed here: https://kate-editor.org/get-it/
