SUMMARY
***
NOTE: If you are reporting a crash, please try to attach a backtrace with debug symbols.
See https://community.kde.org/Guidelines_and_HOWTOs/Debugging/How_to_create_useful_crash_reports
***


STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Open file with song lyrics (format is .txt or .pro)
2. File opens
OBSERVED RESULT
Any time the word "for" exists, it is made bold.

EXPECTED RESULT
NO bold text!
I have set the Highlighting to NONE in the Tools menu, but when opening files, it always highlights the word "for"  Enuf to drive one nuts.

Kate has a comprehensive and flexible system for adjusting its settings based on the file that's loaded, have you looked at:

https://docs.kde.org/stable5/en/kate/katepart/config-dialog.html#pref-open-save-modes-filetypes
https://docs.kde.org/stable5/en/kate/katepart/config-variables.html

I think what you want is to set "kate: syntax None", maybe using a .kateconfig file in the directory where your lyrics files are stored, but there are other ways documented.
