Cannot reproduce with a 17,000 line text block in Gedit pasted into Kate.

Kate takes a while to receive such a large paste, but it does get it.

Are you able to reproduce the issue in Plasma 5.23? What about in the Wayland session?

I tested it on 5.23.5, and the problem seems to be not reproducible at all.
